Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Menus? It doesn’t add “menus”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Go to Admin CP -> Community-> Links Directory -> Categories and manage your categories there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin 1 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
