This function has been deprecated. That means it has been replaced by a new function or is no longer supported, and may be removed from future versions. All code that uses this function should be converted to use its replacement if one exists. See also wp-includes/deprecated.php.
Use
any of these functions instead.
Description
Like wp_get_linksbyname(), this tag displays links from the Links Manager, but allows the user to control how they are displayed by tag parameters, rather than through the WordPress admin interface (useful when displaying links on more than one template).
Replace With
wp_list_bookmarks().
Usage
<?php get_linksbyname('cat_name', 'before',
'after', 'between', show_images, 'orderby',
show_description, show_rating, limit,
show_updated); ?>
Examples
Default Usage
By default, the tag shows:
- All categories if none are specified
- All category links are shown
- Puts a line break after the link item
- Puts a space between the image and link (if one is included)
- Shows link images if available
- List sorted by ID
- Shows the link description
- Does not show the rating
- With no limit listed, it shows all links
- Does not show the updated timestamp
<?php get_linksbyname(); ?>
Specific Category Sorted by Name
Displays links for link category "Friends" in an unordered list with descriptions on the next line, sorts by link name.
<ul>
<?php get_linksbyname('Friends', '<li>', '</li>', '<br />', FALSE,
'name', TRUE); ?>
</ul>
With Images and Ratings, No Descriptions
Displays all links one per line without descriptions, uses images for links, sorts by link name, and shows ratings.
<?php get_linksbyname('', '', '<br />', '', TRUE, 'name', FALSE, TRUE); ?>
As a Definition List with Images and Descriptions in Separate Tags
Displays all links in a Definition List, places linked images in the <dt>, descriptions in the <dd>, and sorts by rating but doesn't show it.
<dl>
<?php get_linksbyname('Portfolio', '<dt>',
'</dd>','</dt><dd>', TRUE, 'rating',
TRUE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
</dl>
