some customizations

  • I′m using link library in single-cat ajax mode, and I’ve been wanting to ask for a feature to load custom content on pageload, instead of a(n optional) category.

    I noticed that if I just remove

    [link-library settings=1]

    and replace it with

    <div id="linklist1" class="linklist">my content here</div>

    that it will do just that. Does link library shortcode only place that div and fill it with the links (if category is set), or is there other functionality I should be aware of, that might break if I do it this way?

    And, I’m looking into linking to a specific category on the page. I guess using url parameters like ?cat=10, get the value, then

    showLinkCat(x, '1', 1); // where x is catID

    Or do your url parameters provide a way to do it?

    Also, on my page I have a huge list of travel merchant categories in an accordeon. I have it move from the sidebar to main content on resize, but I think it may be too large for smartphones. So, I’m thinking of adding another set with a different html structure, but without putting both sets in the html. So either rebuild the cats html as I move it, or build another set on the fly. Or can I load categories using ajax?

    And finally, a request for doing the ll search in ajax mode.

    And one more thing, thanks for building a fantastic plugin. Thought I’d buy you a coffee or a beer.

    Cheers!

    Some more thoughts. I’m also thinking of adding some display options, where I need to display links using another settings set ‘y’ so I guess I will want to be able to set all showLinkCat parameters. Then it would definately be useful if I could dynamically rebuild the cats to change the setnumbers in the catlinks onclick function, or override them somehow.

    And one other idea I have is to allow a visitor to build a custom list of favorite links. Eg. add a save button to the link, which stores it in their localstorage or cookie, a button to display a “my favorites” category, and perhaps some code to share their list, or send to another device (using a link with url parameters I guess). Is there a way to output a custom list of links via javascript?

    Solved the issue of displaying another settings set. Just set _incomingID, _settingsID and _pagenumber to values I need, then:

    jQuery('#linktable a,#linktable div').click(function () {
  showLinkCat(_incomingID, _settingsID, _pagenumber);
  return false;
});

    Or should I use my own variables in there?

    Looks like the search results need that shortcode, so replacing it with the div as per my 1st message is not gonna work. Placing the shortcode inside the div, and then add a script for output logic would probably work, but I’ve changed plans. I’d much rather have a way to output search results via ajax.
