Wordpress plugin - is this possible? - GoFuckYourself.com

st0ned · 01-31-2009, 03:30 PM

On some of my larger blogs I would like to exchange links based on the blog category. Is there currently a plugin that would allow me to put different links within each category? Basically a blogroll that changes with each category page. If there is not an existing plugin available is this something that is even possible? Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

Anything is possible and that is a good idea.

If I'm not mistaken, newer versions of Wordpress allow you to categorize links, so you should be able to show a category of links on a matching category page.

Shouldn't be too hard to put something like that together..

Thanks, guess I shouldn't have shared it on a public forum.

Really? I guess I should take a look around, wasn't aware of an update like that. Thanks for the heads up.

Any idea where I could have it put together?

I did this back when I was blogging pretty heavily, and if I still have the code, I'd be happy to give it to you free of charge.

I'm not 100% sure it'll work with the new version of wordpress, and it isn't a "plug in" or anything .. you'd have to manually hard-code it back in every time WordPress released a new version ... but the price is right, so ...

I'll untar some things next week and see.

I would really appreciate it! I am more than willing to compensate you for it. As long as it is working with the current version of WP I will pay you to dig it out for me (and Mike Semen it seems). Do you think that this is something that could be coded into a plugin?

Shouldn't be to hard, looking for this as well.

fris · 01-31-2009, 05:41 PM

its not too hard to do if you are familiar with the wordpress code base

dial · 01-31-2009, 05:43 PM

this has been doable in wordpress for a long while, read up some more

Features of this plugin

It can show the links by category in blog posts and WordPress Pages.

It uses WordPress standard built-in Blogroll links database. There is no hassle of another list of links to maintain.

It can be used to show only the links assigned to a particular category, by stating the category slug as defined in that categorys setting in Wordpress.

master_design · 01-31-2009, 05:55 PM

Sounds like a great plugin if ever there's one out there :P

why complicate your life? Assuming you're using the latest WP version, simply do this:
1- create the category if you don't already have it
2- edit your links by going to yourdomain/wp-admin/link-manager.php. When you hover over your links (which will be assigned to Blogroll by default) you'll see the words edit|delete shows up. Click on edit.
3- assign to each link the category where you want the link to show up. You'll see other options as well, like Target, Link Relationship, Images (ie for banners), ranking and such

That's it. No plugin, no code needed

should be able to do it with a conditional include of sorts.

of course You need the code on your sidebar, or it wont display any links

mrkris · 02-01-2009, 11:39 AM

I wrote a plugin a few years back that did that. Simple to do.

edgeprod · 02-09-2009, 11:52 PM

I can't find my tarballs except for the Autoblogger code and some other random things ... but if I do stumble across it and those newer plugins don't solve your problem, it's still yours and anyone else who wants it for free.

This takes seconds with TextPattern. I think you need to make another 50 tables for it to be considered WordPress worthy, though.

JOIN LEFT, and they will cum.
