Has anybody givin anymore thoughts to a scolling BlogRoll? And how we can accomplish this. I am looking for something that will allow me to set a size to a scrolling window in a sidebar and within that window go out and pull the information from the wp_list_bookmarkes. This way you can use the WP to organize your BlogRoll list and display it in a controled size on your wp blog.

I have been able to create the scrolling window. But have not been successful in pulling or getting the information from the wp_list_bookmarkes.

Still searching for ideas?

Thank You,

esmi,

There are 6 widgets in the sidebar total and one of them is the BlogRoll that I am trying to get scrolling. As far as the sidebar.php I have went the the code and there is no wp_list_bookmarks(‘orderby=rand&limit=n’)

greenshady,

Thank you for the input on the Widgets Reloaded. I have tried and am running this widget as we speak. It is a nice widget with alot of features. But the one feature I am looking for still is not an option with the BlogRoll. And that is to have a scroll bar on the BlogRoll with a set width and height.

So I am back to looking again. I know this can not be this difficult. It is done vary easy and is common with a sidebar and blogroll within a competitors system.

daveFCA,

Unsure what you mean. I understand CSS. But my blog is using php with the wordpress widget. There is no option to add scrolling to the blogroll. As well as the code in previous comments (ie: wp_list_bookmarks(‘orderby=rand&limit=n’)) I have not been able to locate this code in any of the css or php’s within the blog files.

But I will take your comments in consideration and think about this more.

Still looking for a good solution and will accept constructive comments and direction from people.

Thanks,

Still hoping that I am not the only person with this problem.

Ok, I understand wp_list_bookmarks isn’t a file. And that I would need to edit the wp_list_bookmarks(‘orderby=rand&limit=n’) or the “n”.

But where do I find this to edit? Sorry for my ignorance. I am new to wordpress and trying to learn. The above link explains what to edit, but does not tell me what file this information is located in. I have been threw every screen in my WP ver.2.7.1 and have not found any place to edit this. As well as I have been looking threw the folders and files on the server and have not found this information to edit.

Anymore information or direction would be appreciated.

Thank You,

esmi,

Thank you for your response. Sorry about being a little impatient. Just getting vary frustrated when a simple option like this is no where to be found.

The above option has been removed from WP ver 2.7.1 and there is not a wp_list-bookmarks.php in the system. Even though it is a great option and on the right track. Maybe it would also help to know that I do not host my WP blog at wordpress.com.

So if anyone has any other ideas I am still looking…

Thank You,

Nobody else has this same question? I can not believe that. If you do a search in google many have this problem. So why can’t this be done?

Anyone????

Thanks for the reply and trying to help. But I am on a Windows PC and unable to run the kind of Perl script.

So I guess I am still back to searching for a way to convert a file to OPML. Any help from people is appreciated.

Thanks,
