Hacked Links Page- 3 Column Layout

  • For some time my links page needed overhauling. I loved WordPress’ link manager, but did not want the links menu on my front page to grow overly long and confusing, like I see in many blogs. Yet I still wanted to retain the dynamic ability to update the links without messing around in the html.
    My solution: Strip the links from the menu bar and using the static page setup I devised previously, create a seperate page which displayed the links in the content section- using the link manager.

  • Hi Clay,
    I like your ideas here.
    Would you mind sharing your code to show how you have split it into the different sections.
    It’s looks great ??
    I am using this <?php get_links(); ?>
    I can get the list but it is not split into my different link headings.

    Never mind Clay – just worked it ??

    Shaow: Yeah to put the links somewhere else you just grab <?php get_links(); ?> and put it where you want it.
    I placed it in a new class named <div id="links">
    Copying all the css for the menu classes will give you the same look

    The function you want to use to sort the links by categories is get_links_list() sorry about any confusion
    <?php include('wp-includes/header.php') ?>
    <div id="links">

      <?php get_links_list(); ?>

    </div>
    <?php include('wp-includes/footer.php') ?>
    That is my links page

    Hi. I don’t know if you’re interested, but I hacked a links page at https://www.insn.org that doesn’t use any additional files. I modified the “index.php” file to include a new page category “links” and modified the sidebar to link to this new page category. I can post the PHP to anyone who is interested.

    Hi,
    I’m new to wordpress, but it’s not too difficult.
    I was wondering if you could send me the PHP file.

    thanks,

    I would definitely like to see the code hacks that you did to the index to create the new links category. Can you post that here?

    How do you edit the code for individual pages?

    Update:

    I have had a lot of people emailing me about the seperate links page on my site. Please note, I use an older version of WP and have not looked at the latest versions. If you are using version 1.5 I really can’t help you.. sorry. I am sure someone in the forums will be able to give you accurate information

    Good luck
