I am totally green and I need some help getting going with this thing. I have compleated the install and I havce modules on the go, but I want to go on to the next step. It is important that I allow all people see certian elements of my site (news, links, etc) but I don't know how to go about this. Could someone point me to somewhere that I can look at. What I need is to create a site like this one (the XOOPS site) where it won't matter whether they are logged in or not.

Hello, go into your administration area, select system>groups, there should be three groups(of users) 1.webmasters, 2.registered members and 3.guests you have to edit the guests or anonymous group by checking the boxes next to each module and block you want guests to be able to view.

Hope this helps.

Hey, well asuming you have the news module installed you can either 1. goto system>preferences>general preferances and set the news module as your top page or 2. goto system>blocks and find the recent news block and set that to show on your top page, remember to set the view permissions for guests so they can see the recent news block or you can install a news spotlight block/module like This one and set that to show on the top page.

HOpe this helps
