Links List Formatting

  • OK, new to the place and spent an hour hunting but it never became apparent.
    In Link Categories, each category can have a Formating setup. I assumed this meant that it would effect the way the get_links_list would react. The defaults of the formating are list elements. But I have seen in the Docs that it says, “It outputs this data as a nested HTML unordered list” and many people have referred to editing the code itself to change the way the list would look. So that leaves me with a question, “When and where and how does the Formating you choose become visible?” If I choose Formatting / Before as the word ‘woot’ when would I see the word ‘woot’ on the screen associated with my Links?

  • I’m not sure about the woot, but if you can give an indication as to how you want your lists to be styled, then we can give you examples of the css syntax to use – if that is what you are after.

    It has nothing to do with CSS. It has to with built-in settings. If there is a setting for Formatting that involves “Text/HTML before” and “Text/HTML after” then how do you make these settings active?

    I may have answered my own question. I was using get_links_list when I should have been using wp_get_links. Now if I can only get it to default to ALL links. A () doesn’t seem to show anything.

    Take a look at GetLinksListFixed for a plugin replacement for get_links_list.

    Take a look at https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/GetLinksListFixed for a plugin replacement for get_links_list.

    Anyone familiar with the plug-in for dtw_get_links_list (https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/GetLinksListFixed?PHPSESSID=ef9c277d284172408164a8b89411be4d)?

    I used this before I upgraded to 1.5, and it worked. Now when I try to activate the plug-in, I get the following warning on my WP admin page:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/gretche/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dtw-links.php:87) in /home/gretche/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 6

    Did something change in the upgrade that’s messing with the plug-in?

    I actually found a way to control the “before,” “between,” and “after” for links titles and descriptions without even using the plugin (which eliminates my problem). In case anyone else is searching for this solution, here’s what you do: If you go to https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/get_links_list, you’ll see that you can use the get_links tag in such a way that you will be able to format the links list without a plugin. Hurrah for the new Codex!
