Changing Link layout

  • Currently I’m still using the default layout and I want to start changing small things first. It seems that my links are all posted in the same place in one list regardless of how I change the link groups they belong to. I would like the Links to be displayed in the same place but separated by what link group they belong to, with the group being preceded by the name of the group. How would I do that?

    Another question, where in wp-layout.css do I put in text-declaration:none; I tried putting it in the top, and then putting it in the li section, neither works.

    Thanks L Lizard, I must have overlooked that last night. ??
    Ajay, that’s a code you should use when you are in a .class. If you have a font, the text decoration: none;
    Please go and view some tutorials about .CSS, there are some great ones out there that will help you create excellent layouts! I use https://bradsoft.com/topstyle and have for over a year, it’s a great program for .CSS! ??

    by the way … not to be picky, but get_links_list really should be named wp_get_links_list to be consistent with the others, since it uses the wp settings for how to display the links.

    Laughing Lizard referred me here now that I want to try to tweak my site a bit more, and I’ve tried to sort my links by category using some of the functions in links.php, but I just keep getting parse errors, so I quit messing around before I make a big mess! ??
    Maybe a fresh start tomorrow will open my eyes…
    BTW…I was cutting and pasting the code into my index.php, and keeping it between the PHP tags…is this correct?

    Mark,
    I have been lucky to not have screwed myself up by playing with and file and not be able to recover from a disaster. I will take your advice and be totally diligent about working on backups instead of on original files. It’s a prudent thing to do that takes only a second!
    I think I will wait a while until I start altering code much. I’ve so much to learn, still, and there’s also that little voice out there whispering “new version soon.” ??
    Thanks for the help and tips!!
    Craig.

    You are too cool NM! Giving you (and SG for that matter) advice is so darn satisfying!

    I have a question about the new menu in the default index.php.
    Previously, I could go into this and change the default names for menu sections (i.e., ‘links’, ‘archives’, etc.) with no problem. However, the new menu code starts off with

      <?php get_links_list ?>

    • (next section). How do I change the name of the ‘links’ section header to something else? I’ve tried adding a
    • as the other menu items use, but that just jacks up the whole thing.

    I’m not really sure what you want to do…Cena.
    I have the following:
    <div class=”sideheader”>Links<⁄div>
    <div class=”side”>
    Boards I Run
    <?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘running’) ?>
    Visiting These
    <?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘visiting’) ?>
    Money Links
    <?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘money’) ?>
    Business
    <?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘business’) ?>
    Miscellaneous
    <?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘miscellaneous’) ?>
    Does this help?
