Beginner help needed with creating addon options

[Mr Lucky]

If someone could either answer this in simple terms or point me to e beginner tutorial with the answer that would be great.

I'm gradually learning to make an addon, so far I have a template modification which adds some javascript into page_container and connected that to the addon, which is all working.

However the script I have included has some parameters which need editing from time to time, and I want to know if and how I can do this via ACP options.

The parameters involve changing some ID numbers and URLs.

e.g.

items[0]="<a href='http://example.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><a href='http://example.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>";
items[1]="<a href='http://example.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><a href='http://example.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>";

In this example i would need to be able to edit the two URLs for each ID to the actual URLs and also be able add one or more IDs e.g.

items[2]="<a href='http://example.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><a href='http://example.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>";

I'm hoping this isn't total rocket science, can anyone please help?

So you want to be able to create as many links as you want through an interface? Title and URL change I assume?

If so yeah you will likely just want to build an add-on that consists of a table, called links lets say, and they have an ID, URL, and name. Then you can loop through them with template conditions.
