Using Joomla and a script for links...

    My site is www.accuinvestor.com. On the home page there is a section for sponsored links. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about adding links on a subscription basis using Joomla? Is it best to just go into the template and add and remove the links on monthly (I would prefer not to since i'm no coder), or is there a script for such?

    Thanks

    Create a separate module for your links, and select mainmenu|home only for its display. Place the link code in the Custom Output Content: section at the bottom of the module.

    It's not necessary to place the link code in the template, and probably unwise to do so if you're not that familiar with programming. Joomla is all about modules and components, so take advantage of that.

    Thank you.

    Do you know how to go about creating a module, or are there any pre-created, or a tutorial to do such?

    Sorry, i'm not a coder so I would be lost

    Hi,
    in the joomla administration go to modules and click on site modules, then click on the "new" icon. This is how to create a new module in joomla.

    Hope it helps
