Link Library

LinkLibraryLogo

This plugin is used to be able to create a page on your web site that will contain a list of all of the link categories that you have defined inside of the Links section of the WordPress administration, along with all links defined in these categories. The Admin Panel for Link Library allows you to define up to 5 different sets of settings to have pages with lists of links looking quite different from each other. Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions or report issues on either of these plugins.

To Bud and Gemma Wild, version 2.7.1 fixes the Hide if Empty problem that you reported.

To G4xl, what do you mean by adding Stats mini link-library?
Yannick Lefebvre January 23, 2010 at 1:56 pm
G4xl, for utf-8 support in link category label, version 2.7.2, which will be online soon, will hopefully correct this issue. Please test and let me know. I think that your comment is also referring to a problem with the Link category desc.

Also, I am not able to access the zip file that you mentioned in one of your comments.

Let me know if you have any other issues I can help you with.

I will look more into the encoding.

For the RSS Feed Content, are you trying to get feed contents in-line or to display the RSS feed preview in a separate window? Both these features are working correctly with version 2.8 on my web site.

Where do you se that the width and height of a table are missing? As for the error messages that you have put at the end of your message, how were these generated? These don’t give much indication of the actual issues.

I just noticed that in 2.8.3 stylesheets do not show up if you use LinkLibrary() directly in a template page. Apparently version 2.8.3 has a function conditionally_add_scripts_and_styles() that tries to guess at whether or not the style sheets are needed. It makes the assumption that the post content will contain a shortcode. Of course, if LinkLibrary() is being used directly, there is no need for short codes in the_content(). No short codes, hence no style sheets.

Is this a bug? feature? If a bug, will it be fixed in the next release?

For now, the simple work around we’re using is to add
$shortcode_found=1
just above the line if ($shortcode_found) {... in conditionally_add_scripts_and_styles().

However, this will be wiped out with the next upgrade.

Upon reflection, a more robust way to fix it is to add a place in Settings to list template files that always get style sheets and then to adjust conditionally_add_scripts_and_styles() so that it suppresses conditional checks for those style sheets.

I know this would be a bit of work to implement. If you plan on fixing this and would like help with patches or testing, please let me know.

Many thanks,
