\n * function get_links_list()
\n *
\n * added by Dougal
\n *
\n * Output a list of all links, listed by category, using the
\n * settings in $tablelinkcategories and output it as a nested
\n * HTML unordered list.
\n *
\n * Parameters:
\n * order (default 'name') - Sort link categories by 'name' or 'id'
\n * hide_if_empty (default true) - Supress listing empty link categories
\n *\/
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

\nYou can see it in action on my in-testing version of my blog<\/a>. All the links listed in the menu between the “Links:” heading down to the calendar were generated by a single line in my template that looks like this:\n<\/p>\n


\n<?php
\nget_links_list('id');
\n?>
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

\nI’m telling it to sort my link categories by id, rather than by name, because I entered my categories into the sytem in a particular order that I wanted to use. The links under each category are sorted according to the options set in the Link Manager’s “Manage Link Categories” section.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis function is hardcoded to generate an HTML unordered list (<ul \/> )<\/strong> Maybe one day we’ll make a similar function that can generate the links with some different HTML formatting. But don’t count on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
