Image bullets in sidebar links…

just realised this is pretty much geoffe’s suggestion, but puts the css in your normal file, and you don’t need to enter it specifically for each li

I just made a tweak to my WP 2.1 setup to show both the name and image of the link.

This doesn’t per-se address the BOY/GIRL scenario outlined above, but it does allow me now to just set the image URL for each link using WP admin and have both show up.

I edited the wp-includes/bookmark-template.php file thusly:

if ( $row->link_image != null && $show_images ) {
  if ( strpos($row->link_image, 'http') !== false )
  #$output .= "<img src=\"$row->link_image\" $alt $title />";

   $output .= "<img src=\"$row->link_image\" $alt $title />&nbsp;" . $name;
   else // If it's a relative path
  #$output .= "<img src=\"" . get_option('siteurl') . "$row->link_image\" $alt $title />";

   $output .= "<img src=\"" . get_option('siteurl') . "$row->link_image\" $alt $title />&nbsp;" . $name;

  } else {

The commented lines were how I found them in the default build, my modifications just below. All I did was add the $name variable to the output. I had to do it on two lines – one for when the image is local(relative) and one for when it’s absolute.

Hey “jessekanner” I tried editing the wp-includes/bookmark-template.php file and it doesn’t appear to be working. I am on WP 2.1.2 and cannot see where I botched this.

Here is what I currently have:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘show_images=1&show_description=1&orderby=rand&order=ASC&limit=10’); ?>

Any help would be appreciated.
