Ok inserting links to php pages is fine.
You should see something like this in the theme.html file:
<div id="navsections">
<ul>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>"><{$smarty.const._MA_MENU_HOME}></a></li>
...
...
...
This part:
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>"> is the link.
This part:
{$smarty.const._MA_MENU_HOME} is what the link will be called on your site.
Using Smarty values should mean that the site will work with multiple laguages (For example you may have an option somewhere to display everything in French?). So is your site aimed at more than one language or is all of your content English?
Basically the smarty value calls a constant and if the language is English I will see Home, News, Contact, where as a French could for example click on a French flag on your site and would see the French alternatives as long as they have been declared in the French Language files...
If your site is aimed at an English audience then you can just pull those smarty values out and make the links look like this instead:
<div id="navsections">
<ul>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>">HOME</a></li>
So lets try a couple more of your links:
<div id="navsections">
<ul>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum">Art, Antiques</a></li>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=33">Clocks</a></li>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=17">Pocket Watches</a></li>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=18">Wrist Watches</a></li>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/archcontact">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myguestbook">Guest book</a></li>
</ul></div>
Hope this helps you a little further.
