Link Category Titles using get_bookmarks

  • Hi everyone,

    I’m trying to do some custom formatting for WordPress’ Links (aka bookmark links). Using get_bookmarks() I can do most of what I want, but I can’t get it to give me the name of each Link Category.

    According to The Codex I thought I should be able to get the category title out of any bookmark link (see Return Values). But it’s always blank. So I tried the following code:

    $bookmarks = get_bookmarks();
	foreach($bookmarks as $bm) {
		echo $bm->link_id . ' id';
		echo $bm->link_url . ' url';
		echo $bm->link_name . ' name';
		echo $bm->link_image . ' image';
		echo $bm->link_target . ' target';
		echo $bm->link_category . ' category';
		echo $bm->link_description . ' description';
		echo $bm->link_visible . ' visible';
		echo $bm->link_owner . ' owner';
		echo $bm->link_rating . ' rating';
		echo $bm->link_updated . ' updated';
		echo $bm->link_rel . ' rel';
		echo $bm->link_notes . ' notes';
		echo $bm->link_rss . 'rss';
	}

    And nothing shows up for link_category. Same if I run print_r on $bm, link_category doesn’t appear in the array at all.

    Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on? Am I misinterpreting how to use get_bookmarks()? I’m no expert when it comes to using arrays.

    Thanks!

  • i think if print_r does not prints something it’s because it isn’t there…

    using this idea, i solved it this way:

    $ritorna = "";
$taxonomy = 'link_category';
$args ='';
$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
if ($terms) {
	foreach($terms as $term) {
		if ($term->count > 0) {
			$ritorna .= "<h3>Category - ".$term->name."</h3>";
			$bookmarks = get_bookmarks( array(
							'orderby'        => 'name',
							'order'          => 'ASC',
							'category_name' => $term->name
			                          ));
			foreach ( $bookmarks as $bm ) {
			 		$ritorna .= sprintf( '<a class="relatedlink" href="%s">%s</a><br />', $bm->link_url, __($bm->link_name) );
			}
		}
 	}
}
echo $ritorna;
