Link Library configuration problem

    Hello,

    I am trying to configure the link libray so that a link page ((traces de liens) shows a list of all the link categories, and displays below only the selected category.
    I have tried to use AJAX library style.
    It looks OK… but in fact, when clicking on one of the category link, nothing is displayed (even though it seems to search for something).
    Even after reading FAQ and forum, I can’t find a correct configuration.
    For example, I have a Météo category with slug meteo and 2 links of this category. The category list actually shows the Météo category (among others) link, but display nothing when clicking on it though there is a page configured with shortcode [link-library settings="1" categorylistoverride="meteo"].

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Well… help yourself and the sky will help you (french proverb)…
    I finally partially succeed.
    I have a page which displays link categories with permalinks to pages showing the list of a given category within a table. And I know I can add a css to have a nicer look.
    Ok, but… Ideally, I would prefer using ajax, and display tables below the category table.
    This does not seem to work. Selecting Ajax on the library settings and display only one category is not enough.
    So… If someone could give me a hint… ?

    Thanks a lot.

    Are you saying you prefer to use categories and ajax links on a single page? Like on my reis aanbieders page? Note that the categories are in an accordeon. For deskop visible in the sidebar, for smaller window width they’re under the autocomplete, visiblity toggled with the button (that’s all custom coding, not provided by the plugin).

    Be aware that categorylistoverride must be a number or a list like “1,2,3”. But I recommend not using it in the links shortcode while testing because it acts as a filter (and also a complete rewrite of the plugin is coming any day now, and due to using another content type I suspect the id’s may change).

    Also check that you have links in the category.

    Sorry for the lack of response. I was travelling for work this past week and a half.

    If you want to use AJAX and show a list of all categories, followed by all links for a single category underneath, you need to put the [link-library-cats] and [link-library] shortcodes on the same page.

    Then, set the option “Only show one category at a time” and set the Switching method to AJAX.

    Let me know if this helps.

    @yezz,

    Thanks for your answer. I like your accordeon presentation, but I don’t want to add to much custom code. Nevertheless, I keep the idea in my mind.

    Best Regards
