Parent categories for links… “Link directory”

    It’s good that it is possible to make subcategories for the posts, but what about the links? If one has many, many links that one would like to share, it doesn’t seem reasonable to have to have a mile-long sidebar displaying them. Wouldn’t it be neat to have a Yahoo-esque link directory? It seems like just about everything is there that would allow it to be done, with the exception of adding link subcategories. Seems like it would be handy to have. Is this possible to do already, or is there a plugin available to acheive something like this? Will I have to make a plugin myself and then release it? That’d be a fun undertaking, but it would certainly be great if this is already possible… Suggestions?

  • Hi,
    I’m also looking for the same thing, with the capabilities of having sub-categories. I saw this suggestion on another thread. It is a nice layout. Is this what you’re wanting to do? The only thing though is they charge for this program. I also don’t know if it is compatible with WordPress since I didn’t look into it any further once I saw that it isn’t a free plug-in.

    Is there a free WordPress plug-in to accomplish something similiar to the php link directory above, with sub-category capabilities? I really need to resolve my dilema for this by this weekend if possible. Thanks.

    hi.

    it would be very cool to integrate phplinkdirectory.com in wordpress. anyone can help me? the problem is that PhpLD uses the same “get category” of wordpress and there is a conflict.

    at the moment i was only able to integrate this simple directory (see https://www.markettari.com/) but id like to use PHPLD. let me know!

    I think may have come up with a solution to this problem. I am not a coder, so would welcome anyone’s suggestions on how to improve my solution. I posted how to do this on my blog.

    Please note that I’m not a professional coder, so this is certainly more of a workaround than anything. I hope this helps someone.
