Re: [request] Lists plugin

As a built-in solution, you can just create a form for each list and then output the form on any page. This gives you that central management.

That’s possible but not the solution I would really like to see :D, If you do it by forms you have to manually add list items, with a solution like the wordpress plugin you can output them in any kind of way just by changing a single form.

Re: [request] Lists plugin

Just random lists.
for example; your bookmarks, and your to-do’s.
That you can just choose if it should have links with it or not. and that kind of options. hope you understand what I mean

Re: [request] Lists plugin

You can have your ‘bookmarks’ (meaning the links you add in the “Links tab”) in a list with txp as is. All you need is to go to the ‘links’ form and add <li><txp:link /></li> and then call that form in your template <txp:linklist form="Links" category="the_Links_category" sort="rand()" wraptag="ul" labeltag="links" />. More about the linklist tag

Re: [request] Lists plugin

You can if you use the decription box. ie create another “links form” name it “linkdesc” and add <li><txp:link_description /></li> then call the form in your template <txp:linklist form="linkdesc" category="the_Links_category" sort="rand()" wraptag="ul" labeltag="Links" />

I hope this is more to what you are looking for?
