Description

The Weblinks component allows you to manage links to other web sites and organize them into categories to display on your site. Optionally you may allow visitors to add new links. This component is not included in Joomla 4. It must be obtained from the download site (https://downloads.joomla.org/extensions/weblinks) and installed as for any other extension.

How to Access

Select Components → Web Links → Links from the Administrator menu.

List Filters

Above the table is a Search Bar for basic searching and sorting:

Search: Enter any part of a link text or ID:XX where xx is a number to search for a specific link.
Sort Table by: (preset to Title ascending) to choose a sorting method.
A number (preset to the site default list limit set in Global Configuration) to choose an alternative number of links to display.

The column headings also show the current ordering method, set to Title by default. Click a heading to order by that heading. Click again to toggle the direction from ascending to descending.
