php get_links_list(); Question

    Hi there,
    I wondered if there was a way to render the ‘get_links_list’ a little differently. For instance is thete a way to have it display the same way as ‘list_cats(0, ‘All’, ‘name’);’. The reason I ask this is that it is playing havoc with my other lists I have in my right column section. I don’t lke the way the header ‘lists’ is incorporated into the ‘get_links_list’ . I would prefer to name my list <h3>Lists<.h3> and then call justs the links in the list.
    Is there way to do this? Do I make sense? ??
    Thanks
    Karl

    Hi there,
    Yes I have but that does not list the links as a ‘list’, it just uses ‘breaks’
    Anyway around this?
    Thanks

    Karl,
    Could you post a link to your site? Sometimes it’s easier to help when you can see exactly what is going on.

    Hi there,
    Well the site is somewhat of a mess so I am embarrassed to show you it, but here is a text file of my lists:

    I tried that get_lists with an li in the brackets but that threw up an SQL error.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Try something like this:

    <h2>Blogs &amp; Links</h2><ul><?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', '', 0, 'name', 0, 0, -1, 0); ?></li></ul>

    I don’t fully understand what all that means but it worked for me to just call the links from wp w/o all the link categories (which I wanted as just one massive list)

    You may not need the numbers at all (I’m sure they mean something) but just the '
    <li>' and '</li>'     portions. Which when I view the source code output places the li tags at the beginning and end of each link called

    even better breakdown in the wordpress codex

    Hi, same problem as previously stated here, but on a newer version of WordPress. I tried using your solution, and defining my parameters based on the Codex documentation when that didn’t work, but whenever I add parameters to that function it returns a MySQL database error… So perhaps that bit of code is dated? At any rate, I need someone to help me with this because I don’t know where to go from here. Thanks in advance. ^.^
