My Link Order<\/a> allows you to set the order in which links and link categories will appear in the sidebar. Uses a drag \nand drop interface for ordering. Adds a widget with additional options for easy installation on widgetized themes.<\/p>\n\n

Breaking Change Made in 3.1.4<\/h4>\n\n

If you do not use widgets to display links you must do the following: replace your call to wp_list_bookmarks() with mylinkorder_list_bookmarks().<\/p>\n\n

Big Update!<\/h4>\n\n

My Link Order has been out since WP 1.5 or 2.0 (2006) and it's been a struggle to keep it working smoothly. The taxonomy.php hack was hideous and a filter finally got added that let me avoid this. No more visiting the My Link Order page after every single Wordpress update!<\/p>\n\n

As of version 2.8.6 of the plugin I'm breaking backwards compatibility to add new features like a multiple widget instances. Keep using version 2.8.4<\/a> if you are not on WP 2.8 yet.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install and activate plugin<\/li>\n
  2. Go to \"My Link Order\" under the Links menu and specify your desired order for your link categories and the links in each category<\/li>\n
  3. If you are using widgets then replace the standard \"Links\" widget with the \"My Link Order\" widget. That's it.<\/li>\n
  4. If you aren't using widgets, modify your template to use the correct filter (additional parameter seperated by ampersands):\n mylinkorder_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    Installation Instructions<\/dt>\n
      \n
    1. Install and activate plugin<\/li>\n
    2. Go to \"My Link Order\" under the Links menu and specify your desired order for your link categories and the links in each category<\/li>\n
    3. If you are using widgets then replace the standard \"Links\" widget with the \"My Link Order\" widget. That's it.<\/li>\n
    4. If you aren't using widgets, modify your template to use the correct filter (additional parameter seperated by ampersands):\n mylinkorder_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
      Why isn't the order changing on my site?<\/dt>\n

      The change isn't automatic. You need to modify your theme or widgets.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Like the plugin?<\/dt>\n

      If you like the plugin, consider showing your appreciation by saying thank you or making a small donation<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

            • If you weren't using widgets then replace your call to wp_list_bookmarks() with mylinkorder_list_bookmarks(). It is exactly the same except it calls my version of get_bookmarks(), mylinkorder_get_bookmarks().<\/li>\n

                    • The PO file has changed and translations will need to be updated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                        • Trying to fix Javascript onload issues. Settled on using the addLoadEvent function built into Wordpress. If the sorting does not initialize then you have a plugin that is incorrectly overriding the window.onload event. There is nothing I can do to help. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
