Link Lists? | drupal.org

Hi everyone, do you know of a way to make a simple list of links in the sidebar or perhaps a second sidebar splitting the screen into 3 sections instead of only 2? Site Cloud doesn't work for this for me as I have no cron access on my current host. Thanks!

link list

Posted by bertboerland on April 20, 2003 at 6:28pm

several answers

1) just make a list with plain html in a block and let the block show on a page, using a href etc...
2) 3 pane, look under admin / blocks. create a block and let it be displayed for example on the right side (dont know if all themes support this)
3) post the url of your cronpage and time you want to load your cron here. bots will pick it up and i will -if you like- cron this somewhere as well.

btw: for all other people who dont have access to cron-ing lynx/wget/..., drop a line here and i will gladly add this to my cronjob

Is this what you mean?

go to my site and see if this is what you mean. I have some blocks on the left side that just have a listing of "favorite links"

I just go to admin->blocks->add

the title is the title displayed on the block

the description gets displayed on the block configure page

the body looks like this:

&lt;a href="http://www.foo.com"&gt;foo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;a href="http://www.bar.com"&gt;bar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;a href="http://www.baz.com"&gt;baz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br>

You can have internal links to nodes or site pages as well, just use <a href="/node.php?id=12">a site page</a>

I use the following to create the site pages links:

<a href="/node.php?title='System Info'">System Info</a>

I want to look into creating a "user links" module that will allow a user to create a categorized list of favorite links, as well as having a hook to the block module to display a set of "site favorite links' such as I am doing by hand.

Hope this helps!

see weblinks.module

see weblinks.module. it may already do what you need.
