    hello,
    Sorry if my English is not very good: I am French and I use Google translation.
    I discovered your plugin which is exactelly what I want. In fact, I wish I could display the image + description + notes on each link.
    But I have a problem to use the attribute link_items because I don’t understand how to insert the JSON data into the shortcode.
    This would be fine: {“name”: “”, “left”: {image_l “:” “,” address_l “:” URL “},” right “: {” description “:” Description: “,” notes “” Notes: “}}
    But I don’t know where and how to insert into the following shortcode: [ linkview cat_name =”Sites in Burgundy” ]
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Try this one:
    [linkview cat_name="Sites in Burgundy" link_items='{"image_l":"","description":"","notes":""}']

    Thank you for your quick response.
    It’s perfect, it works! This is exactly what I wanted!

    I didn’t understand the sentence:

    Please use single quotes for defining this attribute because you require the double quotes to define the JSON code

    So, I had not put single quotes in my code.

    Allow me one more question: how to get the name of the link beside the image, instead of below?
    I ‘d like to see the first line with the image on the left and the site name right, then a second line with the address and then the description. I think it is possible in CSS but I’m not very good … :/

    I’m trying to get output like this for each link:

    Using:

    PR Log
PR Log is an online press release distribution and press release submission service.

    Here’s what we’re getting:

    • PR Log
      PR Log is an online press release distribution and press release submission service.
    • PR Log
      PR Log is an online press release distribution and press release submission service.

    What shortcode should we be using?

    Thanks in advance, great plugin. ??

    Sorry, we’re using this shortcode, in brackets:

    linkview cat_name=”Press Release Services” link_items='{“url”:””,”description”:””}’

    Okay, took a lot of trial and error but I got it.

    For others if they need it, in shortcode brackets:

    linkview cat_name=”Press Release Services” link_items='{ “name_l”: “”, “description”: “” }’
