Well, here goes. I'm pretty boneheaded when it comes to PHP, although I understand it in theory. Anyway, if I want to pull in named anchors for my link categories on my links page, what do I need to add to the content filter, as above? I've successfully modified the category_before argument to add a named anchor, but have only had success using the id variable (because it's a documented variable, and my comprehension ends there!): <blockquote><code>$content = 'category_before=<li id="%id" class="%class"><a name="%id"></a>&...</code></blockquote> So my question is how could I change that named anchor to pull in the category name, if I wanted to do that. I don't know if I'll actually go that route, since the name could include spaces, and I'd probably need to do a reg_exp filter on it to make it usable as a tag parameter, but I figure I should try to learn something in the process.

That works wonders! If someone else looks for this in the future, there was an extra dot that messed-up the code above, the correct one should be: <pre><code>function my_list_bookmarks_args() { // the default args $content = 'title_before=<h2>&title_after=</h2>'; $content. = '&show_description=1'; return $content; } add_filter('list_bookmarks_args', 'my_list_bookmarks_args');</code></pre> I'll look at how to style the <code>between</code> with the info you gave me!

Create a function that returns the arguments you want to use for wp_list_bookmarks(): <pre><code>function my_list_bookmarks_args() { // the default args $content = 'title_before=<h2>&title_after=</h2>'; $content. = '&show_description=1'; return $content; } add_filter('list_bookmarks_args', 'my_list_bookmarks_args');</code></pre> If you want to leave the default args in there (the above code sample is just to show what's already there), you can shorten the above code: <pre><code>function my_list_bookmarks_args($content) { $content. = '&show_description=1'; return $content; } add_filter('list_bookmarks_args', 'my_list_bookmarks_args');</code></pre> Chris theorib on "Showing Link Descriptions on the links.php Template" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/showing-link-descriptions-on-the-link-descriptions#post-6800 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:41:43 +0000 theorib 6800@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Ok, I figured out a way to do the first thing (showing the description) by putting a copy of the links.php file in my child theme folder and replacing the: <code><?php wp_list_bookmarks(list_bookmarks_args()) ?></code> by <code><?php wp_list_bookmarks('show_description=1','list_bookmarks_args()') ?></code> Though this works I reckon there must be a much "nicer, cleaner and right" way to do it using something like filter hooks or action hooks in my <code>functions.php</code> file but even though I read Ian's great tutorials on both things I still can't find the way to do it... Any help would be much appreciated to learn more about PHP! Thanks loads, Thematic is awesome! theorib on "Showing Link Descriptions on the links.php Template" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/showing-link-descriptions-on-the-link-descriptions#post-6796 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:59:59 +0000 theorib 6796@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi all, I'm still not comfortable with PHP though I manage myself well with XHTML and CSS. I was wondering if there is a way of showing Link Descriptions on the links.php page template without modifying the defaults on the wordpress <code>bookmark-template.php</code> file itself. I don't know how to do it but I would guess there would be a way for modifying the <code>'show_description' => 0</code> to <code>'show_description' => 1</code> in the <code>functions.php</code> file of my themelet. Also, on the links page, I need to output something like this: <code>'between' => '|',</code> and <code>$output .= $between . '' . $desc . '';</code> Instead of the defaults: <code>between' => "\n",</code> and <code>$output .= $between . $desc;</code> Can it be done through functions.php? Thanks loads in advanced!
