Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. the syntax error was a copy past problem… doh
All I’m using is the following code:
<code>
<txp: mem_glinklist />
</code>
I was hoping that would give me a list of all categories and their associated links. I does not. It gives me what you see at: http://www.pittster.com/links
I suspect that the form that I am using is the problem.
Here is basically what I want
Category Title <br> Link <br> Link <br> Link <br>
Next Category Title <br> Link<br> Link<br> Link<br>
I’m looking at the documentation, but it is assuming knowledge that I don’t have.
If you were going to implement this from scratch, what would the steps be, (format of the form etc.)

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
This is the exact tag that Manfre uses on his site. ;-)
<code>
<txp:mem_glinklist category="Blogs,Blogs I read,Comics,Cool Links,Deals,DVD,Anime" crumbtrail="::" crumbroot="1" linkto="0" listwraptag="div" headwraptag="div" columnwraptag="ul">
<li><txp:link /></li>
</txp:mem_glinklist>

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
Here is the code as I have implemented it.
is on a separate page, with separate section with basically only this code in the “center” div
<code>
<txp:mem_glinklist category=“friends, portfolio, filmcrumbtrail=:” crumbroot=“1” linkto=“0” listwraptag=“div” headwraptag=“div” columnwraptag=“ul”>
<li><txp:link /></li>
</txp:mem_glinklist>
</code>
The only category I see listed is “friends” with no category heading..

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
Try removing the space between your categories.

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
Do you have links in your other categories?

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
Yep,
And if I specify only one category, it displays the links from the one category…

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
Yes I do, and I can display each category individually if I specify it in the attributes.
I’ve gotten very fustrated, so I’m writing my own and having pretty good success…

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
pittster, what version of Textpattern are you using? If it’s rc3, what is the build number?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List
gday brize a.k.a. moondreamer,
two ways to do it…
1. use Manfre’s suggestion – “mem_glinklist has an attribute “columns”, which allows you to specify the number of columns to use to display the links. Each column will be wrapped in a “div” an tagged with the CSS class “mem_list_column”.”
2. hardcode two divs, and specify which categories of links you’d like in each (this is what I did)… e.g.
<code><div class=“link_list”>
<txp:mem_glinklist form=“plainlinks” category=“friends,enemies,friend enemies,romans” headwraptag=“h2” listwraptag=“div” wraptag=“div” />
</div>
<div class=“link_list”>
<txp:mem_glinklist form=“plainlinks” category=“heathens,lost tribes of israel,rapture ready” headwraptag=“h2” listwraptag=“div” wraptag=“div” />
</div>
<br clear=“all” />
</code>
and then, whether you’re using div.mem_list_column or in my case div.link_list, you float them …
<code>div.link_list {
width:230px;
float:left;
}
</code>
alternatively post a link to the page you’re working on and we can take a look under the hood
