Can't specify a library, always defaults to first library

    I’ve had LL running for quite a while now and it recently start misbehaving. I have about 12 different libraries of links, with different pages referencing different libraries. However, seemingly since upgrading to 3.8 (though, I am not 100% confident that was the culprit, but nothing else has really changed), no matter what library number I specify in the “[link-library settings=X]” nark up, it always gives the first library (#1). As far as I can tell, the “setting=X” section of the markup is being ignored – I can change X to anything, or remove “settings=X” completely and still get library 1. Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone know how to fix it?

  • Yes, I am finding that also. I just downloaded the plugin today (Jan 9) and was getting very frustrated that my 2nd library rules were not sticking. Then I saw your post. But I’m not sure I have the syntax correct in my short code to direct it to the 2nd library. Maybe someone could post it here???

    I have the same problem…

    I have it working perfectly now. Here is the syntax for using another library:

    [link-library settings =2 categorylistoverride=”112″]

    I now have another problem: I’ve added the code to separate pages for the different link libraries, but they all show up on the same page. :-/

    Did you specify in the library settings which categories you wanted to include or which you wanted to exclude?

    Oh.. Hm… Better check that. Thanks! ??

    Hm… I have 5 different libraries and I have added links to them, but I don’t have any categories since each page is supposed to contain just one type of links (one page/library for knitting blogs, one page/library for yarn shops and son)…

    L?nkar (= “links” in Swedish)

    I would have done that differently. I would have one library and then just use the category codes of the different categories on each page:

    [link-library settings =1 categorylistoverride=”4″]

    [link-library settings =1 categorylistoverride=”7″]

    [link-library settings =1 categorylistoverride=”6″]

    [link-library settings =1 categorylistoverride=”5″]

    There is no reason for different libraries unless you want the results to display differently. i.e. I have 2 libraries because for one page I want descriptions and for the other I do not want descriptions.

    Ah! Smart!
    I will change it to one library and several categories then. ??
    Thank you so much!!

    Good news! Let me know if that works out.

    Eek. A bit confused.
    Under “Common parameters”, how should I tick the boxes etc?

    I understand your explanation, I just don’t quite get how to actually get it there. ??

    I didn’t check anything in Common Parameters. If you’re using this library to add links to any of your categories, you don’t need anything in there.

    Ok.

    But how do I know where to get the code to put on each category page as in your example:

    categorylistoverride=”5″

    ?

    Instead of the 5, should I write what it says under “slug”?
