Three questions:

(1) WELCOME BOX -- How do I get that Welcome box in the center of the Xoops.org home page?

Is that a Section Module or what??

(2) SECTIONS -- I would like to setup a few blocks which basically display a summary (including an image) on the home page, and then allow the user to click to a page with more detail (such as a brief description of services in one block, and a brief description of a promotion on the home page, and then a link to click for more detail)...

What module do I use for this?

(3) REMOVE LINKS FROM MAIN MENU -- How do I remove links from the Main Menu? For instance, I have a "News" on the Main Menu list, but I also have hte "News" displayed on the home page. I JUST want it on the home page... no need for a link to a separate page with news...

Many, many thanks for your help! XOOPS could make my world a ton better, if I can figure all this configuramo stuff out.

Cheers,
Barbary

welcome to XOOPS :)
1) you can create custom blocks to show a "welcome page" for anon and registered users and any other groups
2)use wf-section or any other article module you can find many usefull module in module repository
3) look at this faq

If you look HERE and click the 'Read more >>> ' and 'quick tour' links you will see an example of quick site navigation. Let me know if you are interested in this kind of idea.

Hey Carnuke-

Yea, I hate popups (as in the read more link), but otherwise, that is exactly what I am looking for.. a way to put two blocks next to each other like that in the center, with images, and a link to read more...

What would the best way to implement this? I know HTML, in case that helps.

Thanks for your help!

XOOPS seems like it has great potential, but finding HELP files, etc.. is NOT proving easy.

Do any of these modules come with help files? I know I'm script-challenged, but I can not seem to figure out WF-Section... the module config doesn't even speak to the blocks (Big Article, etc)..

LOST IN XOOPS SPACE!
