4.4. Web Links

The Web Links module is a link manager for the site. It allows site administrators to post descriptions for each link. Depending on settings, anonymous users and registered members can submit their links for approval and publishing. Users can rate links, suggest modifications in the details, report a broken link and post comments. Hits and Ratings are recorded to allow ranking of links. Two blocks are available for display: Recent Links and Top Links.
