How to select specific links using <txp:linklist> ?

rawe · 2011-05-22 14:55:51

Hi there,

I’m wondering if there is a way to produce a link list where you can specify which links you would like to be displayed?

I have a download list where I can use the ID attribute of the <txp:file_download_list /> tag (ie. id=“1,3,4”) to grab the files I want to display, setting the ID using a custom field. I was hoping to do the same using the <txp:linklist> tag, but there isnt an ID attribute for this.

Is there another way I can do this? or maybe a plugin that would be useful to do this? I’ve scoured the plugin site, but haven’t had much luck.

Really appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Rich

hi Rich
linklist does not have a per id attribute. Why don’t you organise your links in categories and then call those.

Thanks for the quick response.

The list is likely to be different for each article; using the category approach it will display all links within that category, where I may only want certain links. I would have to have my client set up a new link category for each post which isnt ideal and will potentially cause link duplication since only one category can be assigned to a link. I’m wondering if there is a plugin where you can select links by Id per article.

Definately a solution I would use if I cant find another way – thank you for the suggestion.

wet_link may do it. For example you can write:

<txp:wet_link linkid="68" />
