Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Are their any guides or tutorials on use of the Links Directory? I'm fairly new to the IPS system so everything is a mystery to me. I'm not sure how to: 1) Add the Links Directory to my site 2) Add links to the page As an alternative to the links directory, I'm wondering if there is a "news" plugin of some kind that I could use to link to news stories relevant to my site's subject (college sports recruiting). And if there was such a plugin, I probably wouldn't know how to install it or place it on the site, lol. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! - Pat

I'm fairly new to the IPS system so everything is a mystery to me. If you're talking about this resource, it's just like create a topic. Create a category, give permission for those can create the link (record) and then click to create a new link. Give a title, the URL and the content and hit save. You're done. The app will add a screen capture of the site as the image record.
Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks for the guidance Adriano! That is the resource I have. I finally figured out the problem was: I hadn't added links to the menu manager so the page was essentially hidden (I'm REALLY new to all this). Two follow up questions... now that I have a links page, how to I add sub-menus. Like, I want one for resources, and one for news stories. And lastly, if I want to manage the links myself as admin and now allow users to add links, where do I adjust those permissions?
Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 I'm probably using the wrong term. Right now I have a Links Directory, and under that is the category "Resources". I want to add an additional category called "News".
Adriano Faria Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Go to Admin CP -> Community-> Links Directory -> Categories and manage your categories there.
Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks so much! Final question I promise... where to I adjust permissions so only I can add links? I've been poking around and can't find it anywhere.
