Dear casey,
welcome and thanks for joining at TP

let us know that you used MiniFrontPage for 1.0.x at J!1.5...?

Great module!

Can I set just a SectionID, and not a CategoryID? I tried it, but only seems to work if I also specify a CatID...

Is there a way to have the links generated by minifrontpage have itemid=0?

Hmm...strange idea....when lot of people have trouble with that Itemid=0, you want it to be like that...

I am trying to figure out how to setup this module.. what are the basic steps?

Hello Margaret,

Using MFP is simple, you just have to give attention for some setting, in this case:

1. section id(s) *
2. category id(s) *
3. Period of Novelty (Days) : duration life of active content
4. thumbnail image (thumbnails will created automatically)
5. image source for thumbnails (make sure that there's image for thumbnails creation)
6. Limit intro text (you can do trial what best layout)
7. Full story link text : it can changed with any word


* if needed writing down section and category id(s) that will showed as MFP Content.

Hope this usefull.
