[plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
This plugin generates a listing of hyperlinked link category names with an optional display of the number of links assigned to that category.
The primary usage of this would be to use the listing as a table of contents to filter a link listing.
This plugin can work in conjunction with mem_glinklist or tfu_linklog (with one small mod).

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
Thanks for the plugin, its just what I needed.
One thing though when I set linktosection=“links” I get this where the section should be in the url:
%EF%BF%BDlinks%EF%BF%BD
looking at the status bar when I hover over one of the links shows this where the section /links/ should be:
/?links?/
Any ideas?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
What are your category names? Is there a URL I can see?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
The site I am working on is on my local machine at the moment but one of my category names is:
EU Enlargement
so when I roll over it the status bar shows:
http://cepa/main/?links?/?c=EU+Enlargement
But when I click on the link this is the url in the address bar:
http://cepa/main/%EF%BF%BDlinks%EF%BF%BD/?c=EU+Enlargement
Also, I have sub-categories a couple levels deep. Will this plugin allow the listing of only certain levels or of just the top level?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
Whats happening seems weird. Seems like there are some character encoding issues going on. But I’m not even urlencoding the linktosection so I don’t know where that would be coming from. Have you tried on a fresh install? Are you using the new pretty section names?
And no, the plugin only lists categories at one level.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
It’s not really working for me… is this plug-in complatible with TXP 4.0?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
I can’t get it to work right either. If the list of categories is in a side column, then what tag do you put in the main content area that will make the link list change based on the category a visitor wants to filter? here is a link to what i’m working on: http://snapnashville.org/resources
my side column has the following:
<code><txp:rss_linkcat_list linktosection=“resources” /></txp:if_section></code>
and the main content area has:
<code><txp:linklist /></code>
What I would really love is to output a list similar to the Link Archives list on wilshireone.com — but instead of listing by date, list by category… Then use rss_linkcat_list to make it easy for visitors to filter — in case the number of categories and links is long.
thanks,
stacey

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
The plugin is not meant to work with txp:linklist.
Its detailed in the documentation and in my original post above.
This plugin can work in conjunction with mem_glinklist or tfu_linklog (with one small mod).

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
Nice plug-in.
Could it be possible to add support for category titles?
Thanks!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
BTW, how can I make this to work? :D
I’m using mem_glinklist.
I mean:
if I’m in the section frontpage (/links/) I want to show the full link list.
But if I click in a category filter (/links/?c=category), I want to show the filtered link list.
How can I achieve that?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
OK, I get the half of what I want to achieve (see post below):
I have a form with:
<code>
<txp:if_category>
(what should I put here to show a “category sensitive” link list?)
<txp:else />
<txp:mem_glinklist form=“Links” columns=“1” columnwraptag=”“ columnclass=”“ listwraptag=“div” listclass=”“ headwraptag=“h3” headclass=”“ />
</txp:if_category>
</code>
With that, I get the full link list in the section frontpage (/links/) but I still trying to figure out a simple tag that will output a category sensitive link list.
(simple: as Wilshire does in his link section)
PS: why < pre>< code> isnt working in the forum?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_linkcat_list
Aaaaah, finally, I get it.
I must use “argname” attribute in mem_glinklist when I want to list links only for one category.
<code>
<txp:if_category>
<txp:mem_glinklist form=“Links” columns=“1” columnwraptag=”“ columnclass=”“ listwraptag=“div” listclass=”“ headwraptag=“h3” headclass=”“ argname=“c” />
<txp:else />
<txp:mem_glinklist form=“Links” columns=“1” columnwraptag=”“ columnclass=”“ listwraptag=“div” listclass=”“ headwraptag=“h3” headclass=”“ />
</txp:if_category>
</code>
One more question: if I want to use “lc” as the argument in the URL (i mean, to have URLs like /links/?lc=category) of the links generated by rss_linkcat_list, ¿do I have to edit the plug-in code?
Or can this be done by an attribute in rss_link_list tag?
Finally, dont forget to add support for category titles! :D
Thanks. Great plug-in.
