I am wanting to create a few modules that link to an entirely different site. I have no clue about coding, so I'm completely dependant on others. Any thoughts, suggestions, or directions anyone can point me would be extrememly helpful!

It is possible, depending on the details of your needs.

The easy ways you can try first to see if they suit your needs:

1. Go into your blocks area through the admin contol panel in nuke. Add a new block with the standard html link code and text you want to show. That will give you links to other sites similar to a module if you do not need to have it listed as an option in the menu.

2. Use a converson program to make a module out of html. I have seen them all over on nuke design sites such as disipal.com. I don't know if they work but it is worth giving it a try.

3. Have (pay?) someone to do custom modules for you. Making a module is somewhat involved so there is no magic answer to solve all of your module creation needs (I wish there were).

4. Search the web for a similar module someone has already created and use that. I have seen this question about links in a module asked on other sites so either you are getting around or there are others who need something similar

so, what you need is just to link to an external site from your site? Just create a custom block with html from your nuke admin panel and put the urls you want.

This is my first time asking...so I'm not getting around with this topic just yet! 8)

I was able to create a sep. block with the links. Thanks for the suggestions!!! Still would like to make a link in the modules list, but this will do fine!

Send the link to your site via PM with login info if needed or post. Once I have seen what you have done I might be able to make a simple module that you can link to in your menu. No promises but I will have a look if you want.

You will have to edit the block-modules.php located in the blocks/ folder, then just add the link you want like

Code:

$content .= "<a href=\"http://yourlinkhere\">yourtexthere</a>";

just before the

Code:

?>

Thanks, genoxide, I got it working right! I appreciate your help!

I was looking for an answer to this very question.

This information was quite helpful. I added the following code to my block-modules.php file:

Quote:

$content .= "<big>&middot;</big><a href=\"http://paethieon.com/Chat/index.php\">Chat</a>";

I do have an additional question though, now that I have added the above code, I have a link that looks like this:
· Chat

The only problem is that it is appearing at the bottom of my sections list, and I am unable to assign it permissions. How could I make it so that it is in alphabetical order, like the rest of the links in my Sections, and viewable to only registered members?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
