Installation Instructions

  1. Unzip packed files
  2. Move mylinkorder.php to /wp-content/plugins/
  3. 2.3 only: move taxonomy.php to /wp-includes/
  4. Activate the “My Link Order” plugin on the Plugins menu
  5. Go to the “My Link Order” tab under Blogroll and specify your desired order for both link categories and links in each category.
  6. WIDGETS: Just drop the “My Link Order” widget that gets installed with the plugin and that’s it!
  7. Modify sidebar template to use correct function (additional parameters seperated by ampersands): <?php wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);?>

If you have a problem with it not ordering, make sure you have a plain “&” and not “& amp;” between the parameters which could happen if you copy straight out of the browser. Also make sure quotes are plain straight ones, some people have had problems when copying and pasting code out of the browser and PHP chokes on the bad quote character.

Thanks for checking out my first Wordpress plugin, My Link Order. I wrote this because Wordpress is sorely missing the ability to manually set the order link categories and links themselves will appear in. Wordpress provides seven options for ordering just links (ordering categories is mysteriously absent) and they all seem to tip toe around the idea of actually letting the user explicitly set the order they want. If you have any problems let me know, I am more than happy to help resolve any issues you may have. I’ll respond to your comment through email so be sure to put a valid email in. Even if you don’t have problems leave a comment or throw a couple bucks to buy some beer.

    Can you tell me if your plugin will allow me to control the order of link output in my theme editor sidebar section? Currently I have over thirty template files on my customised theme, and they don’t render in alphabetical order in the theme editor page, which is a nightmare when you’re trying to locate a particular file.

    I had asked the WordPress forum about this, but I did not get a reply.

  • 2. Andrew Charlton  |  January 29th, 2006 at 3:56 pm

    My plugin will let you order your link categories and links manually (instead of the various methods like by id, by name, etc built into Wordpress), giving you more control over the order they appear on your front page.

    You are looking for something a little different it seems (just sorting the files by name on the theme editor page), but it is definetly possible to do. I’ll look at the source code and see what it will take to do. Which version of Wordpress are you using?

    Yeah, my links are in the sidebar too…what can we do about that? I’m not afraid to manually edit the code, but I don’t know what to edit! Great idea though, man, I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time…as important as page real estate is these days….

    I am having a problem when clicking on the “My Link Order” tab:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'thetais_wordpress.wp_linkcategories' doesn't exist]
    ALTER TABLE `wp_linkcategories` ADD `my_cat_order` INT( 4 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0′

    WordPress database error: [Table 'thetais_wordpress.wp_links' doesn't exist]
    ALTER TABLE `wp_links` ADD `my_link_order` INT( 4 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0′

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'my_cat_order' in 'order clause']
    SELECT * FROM ibc_linkcategories ORDER BY my_cat_order ASC

    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time.

  • 8. John  |  February 6th, 2006 at 7:18 pm

    This plugin should have been implemented by WP by default, but luckily you can help us poor users.

    I have encountered an error though, when displaying the sidebar::

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'my_link_order' in 'order clause']
    SELECT link_url, link_name, link_image, link_target, link_description, link_rating, link_rel , CHAR_LENGTH(link_name) AS length , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated FROM ibc_links WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ AND link_category = 6 ORDER BY my_link_order ASC

    Hope you can help me.

  • 9. Tobi  |  February 6th, 2006 at 8:49 pm

    Dunno why… but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me in WP 2.0.1. :(

  • 10. Andrew Charlton  |  February 6th, 2006 at 9:25 pm

    New version is up for 2.0.1, let me know if it resolves your issue.

  • 11. Joan  |  February 6th, 2006 at 10:29 pm

    Don’t know what the problem is, everything went well with the installation, but the categories don’t update (reorder). Tried deleting cache, etc to see if it was my computer, but no go. Any ideas?

  • 12. Rob  |  February 7th, 2006 at 4:20 am

    I have had the same problem as Joan - everything installed lovely, but after setting the links in the order I wanted them, the links in the sidebar didn’t change their order.

  • 13. zach  |  February 7th, 2006 at 12:17 pm

    I got some database errors in my link section when i set this up — folllowed every step verbatim.

  • 14. Bentley  |  February 7th, 2006 at 7:15 pm

    Hi - it seemed to set up ok for 2.0.1, but I think I may have gotten the wrong impression of what it does. It reorders “link categories”? This is different from the section called “Categories” right? I want to reorder my different categories and can’t seem to figure out how - under “link categories” all I have is “blogroll”
    Frustrating.

  • 15. novalis  |  February 23rd, 2006 at 8:49 pm

    I’m using wp_list_cats() instead of wp_get_links. It would be awesome if the plug-in could handle that as well.

  • 16. novalis  |  February 23rd, 2006 at 9:27 pm

    Oh, it does. Awesome.

  • 17. Daniel  |  February 27th, 2006 at 8:17 pm

    Great job with this plugin. Just what I was looking for.

  • 18. Andrew  |  March 1st, 2006 at 9:53 am

    HI. The plugin is great, it does exactly what is expected. Thanks!

    I did have to remove some code from your verison of links.php though as the line near 552 was inserting my link categories in a with a cat-ID and i twas messing up my layout. I simply removed the additinonal and now it works great.

    Thank you.

  • 19. Abhishek  |  March 2nd, 2006 at 4:36 am

    Hey it works great!! Thanks buddy.

  • 20. Eric  |  March 2nd, 2006 at 1:23 pm

    Works great for me too in 2.0.1. Thanks for a great plugin!

  • 21. Jesse  |  March 4th, 2006 at 7:35 am

    “Don’t know what the problem is, everything went well with the installation, but the categories don’t update (reorder). Tried deleting cache, etc to see if it was my computer, but no go. Any ideas?”

    —

    “I have had the same problem as Joan - everything installed lovely, but after setting the links in the order I wanted them, the links in the sidebar didn’t change their order.”

    —

    I have the same problem as the two users quoted above. Followed all the instructions, well at least the ones I understood.

    “Set Category Sort Order dropdown to “Manual” on categories you wish have links manually ordered”

    In 2.0.1, there is no “Manual” in the “Sort Order” drop down box.

    Thanks for any help.

  • 22. Jesse  |  March 4th, 2006 at 7:49 am

    Here’s what my links section looks like…

    get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
    ?>
    cat_id; ?>”> cat_name; ?>
    cat_id); ?>

    Which part do I replace with get_links_list()? I tried replacing wp_get_links() with get_links_list(). While that worked with the order, it also lists all the categories and links in each category. That is, say I have two categories. On called “Blogroll” and one called “Random”. Blogroll has three links, “Blogroll Link 1″, “Blogroll Link 2″, and “Blogroll Link 3″. Random has three links as well, “Random Link 1″, “Random Link 2″, and “Random Link 3″.

    So the way the blog would look with my changes is…

    Links:
    Blogroll
    Blogroll
    Blogroll Link 1
    Blogroll Link 2
    Blogroll Link 3

    Random
    Random Link 1
    Random Link 2
    Random Link 3

    Random
    Blogroll
    Blogroll Link 1
    Blogroll Link 2
    Blogroll Link 3

    Random
    Random Link 1
    Random Link 2
    Random Link 3

    So what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

  • 23. rena  |  March 4th, 2006 at 9:21 am

    This looks like a great plugin and I’d really like to install it. I am just worriied about the need to alter core files. What happens when it comes time to upgrade WP? Will I need to remember that I altered those files?

    I’m a wordpress newbie so sorry if the answer to this is obvious. Thanks!

  • 24. Andrew Charlton  |  March 4th, 2006 at 9:46 am

    Jesse,

    You’ll want to replace that entire block in your template with the single line, get_links_list(); That will loop through the categories for you in the order you have specified. There are a number of functions that ouput the links, but as far as I can tell this is the only one that makes sense to use in the context of my plugin.

    Andrew

  • 25. Andrew Charlton  |  March 4th, 2006 at 10:00 am

    Rena,

    When it comes time to upgrade, the core files I alter in my plugin will be overwritten which essentially disables the plugin. Whenever there is a WP upgrade I will publish a new version of my plugin and you’ll need to install it again. The files I alter don’t seem to have changed much, if any, in the past three releases, but I have not taken the time to do compares and see if they are indeed different. I’ll probably do it the next time to avoid duplicating my work if I have to. Also, if you uninstall or upgrade the plugin, your orders will be saved so you don’t have to redo them.

    So the answer to your question is, you don’t need to remember which files you altered, just that you have to re-install my plugin when you update WP.

  • 26. Jesse  |  March 5th, 2006 at 1:58 am

    One more question. As I stated in a previous comment, the instructions state that you have to a category’s “Sort Order” to “manual” in order to get the links in that category to sort the way you’d like using this plugin. However, I don’t see a “manual” option in the “Sort Order” drop down. All I see are “Name”, “ID”, “URL”, “Rating”, “Updated”, “Random”, and “Name Length”.

  • 27. Andrew Charlton  |  March 5th, 2006 at 9:55 am

    Double check you copied over link-categories.php to the wp-admin folder. The only reason the option wouldn’t be showing up is if that file wasn’t updated.

  • 28. Jesse  |  March 5th, 2006 at 4:18 pm

    Yeah, that was the problem. Thanks for the help!

  • 29. Irene  |  March 14th, 2006 at 5:35 am

    I tried to installl in WP 2.0.2. I follow the instructions but I can’t see it at plugins menu.
    Thanks for any help.

  • 30. Andrew Charlton  |  March 14th, 2006 at 9:48 pm

    New version to match 2.0.2 is up, no changes were needed so just changed the file name to avoid any confusion.

    If you have any problems with the upgrade to 2.0.2 check the permissions on the mylinkorder plugin directory. Mine got reset when I copied the new WP files over and lost its read permission. Everything worked, but the up and down images used for ordering were gone. A chmod 755 fixed that right up.

  • 31. Redwulf  |  March 16th, 2006 at 12:20 pm

    Installed the plugin on WP 2.02 this afternoon. Works like a charm. Thanks for the plugin!

  • 32. Lance Brown  |  March 17th, 2006 at 1:15 pm

    I just wanted to post a pointer to folks who had what seemed to be a clean install, but are finding no results of success on their links pages.

    In my case, it turned out that my FTP program hadn’t actually overwritten the two core WP files, even though it acted as though it had. I deleted the two files from the server entirely, uploaded the plugin’s version of those two, and all was well.

    Sweet plugin, BTW! Thanks.

    It would be great if you could hook up with the WP developers and find a way to stop involving the core WP files. Can they not add hooks that would let you plug in entirely? This is a long-overdue functionality…I would think they’d be into helping you integrate it more smoothly. Then you wouldn’t have to keep issuing new versions every time they do. (And we all wouldn’t have to re-install each time.)

    Either way…great plugin.

  • 33. stacy  |  March 18th, 2006 at 4:37 pm

    Looked high and low for this function. Installed without a hitch on WP 1.5. Thank you!!

  • 34. Kyle  |  March 22nd, 2006 at 11:22 am

    Wish I could get this right but for some reason, despite repeated deleting and re-adding of the link-catagories.php file, I cannot get manual to show up in the drop down. Checked the permissions on the plugin folder, everything. *taps head against screen* lol

  • 35. Kyle  |  March 22nd, 2006 at 11:28 am

    Got it! In the instructions, I was confused because I was trying to find the Manual in the landing page for Links. When I went to Edit the catagory, the Manual selection was in there and upon setting it, everything was fine.

    Thanks for this great improvement!

  • 36. Richard  |  April 2nd, 2006 at 12:03 am

    Are you going to (or is there a plug-in that allows this already) make a plug-in that gives this same type of control over the order of the pages section of WP?

  • 37. Andrew Charlton  |  April 2nd, 2006 at 6:51 am

    I’ve had that request before and have just been really busy for the past month or so. I’ve got spring break coming up and I’ll do it then, so check back in 2 weeks.

  • 38. Richard  |  April 3rd, 2006 at 11:16 am

    Great - Thank You!

    Quick question though….

    The plug-in works great for the categories that I create but seems to ignore the cat’s that WP automatically generates (IE Links, Categories and Archives sections).

    Did I do somehting wrong in the installation or does the current plug-in ignore those? They don’t show up in the list to be moved around.

  • 39. Andrew Charlton  |  April 3rd, 2006 at 12:05 pm

    Nope, you didn’t do anything wrong. Under the hood, WP displays each of those things separately so you have to think of each of them as their own contained block. It would be possible to get them to work with my plugin, but not without further modification to the core files, database, and templates.

    I am working on bringing up these issues with the WP developers because something needs to be done from the top, not by individual users.

  • 40. Christopher A. Wheeler  |  May 5th, 2006 at 6:07 pm

    Wow, thanks, this works like a charm!

  • 41. Zlaya  |  May 11th, 2006 at 8:55 pm

    Hey, great job on the plugin, but i have a problem. I just updated my wordpress files to the newest version, and i keep getting this SQL error, when i sort the categories by “manual”

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'link_manual' in 'order clause']
    SELECT link_url, link_name, link_image, link_target, link_description, link_rating, link_rel , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated , UNIX_TIMESTAMP(link_updated) AS link_updated_f FROM wp_links WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ AND link_category = 1 ORDER BY link_manual ASC

    Why would this start happening only after the update? Any suggestions?

  • 42. nik  |  May 12th, 2006 at 1:32 pm

    What a let down! I thought it would help me reorganise my WP Categories! :(

    Ah well, good on you for catering to user needs anyway. I’m sure I’ll end up using this plugin at some point. :)

  • 43. Andrew Charlton  |  May 12th, 2006 at 3:17 pm

    nik! My Category Order is in the works just give me a little more time.

  • 44. cooper  |  May 17th, 2006 at 6:26 pm

    Hi it doesn’t seem to work with mine. I see it but I can reorder links even though it appears as though I should be able to.
    What do I have to do to my theme to fix that.

  • 45. Drew  |  May 26th, 2006 at 10:40 am

    Just writing to say thanks. Worked like a charm and I am a virtual idiot when it comes to rummaging around under the hood of WP. Agree with earlier commenters on the virtue of being able to reassign the seemingly unalterable “pages”; “archives”; “categories”; “meta” categories, but will happily leave that for another day.

  • 46. Fokss  |  May 30th, 2006 at 6:20 pm

    Wonderfull!!! Very practical!

  • 47. T Maddix  |  June 1st, 2006 at 6:30 pm

  • 48. HSP  |  June 2nd, 2006 at 9:21 pm

    I know it’s incredibly early to be asking this, but does this plugin work with v. 2.0.3?

  • 49. Ang  |  June 7th, 2006 at 9:11 am

    Would it be possible to edit the installation instructions (for us idiots, it just took me FOREVER to figure it out and only then by reading all the comments) to mention that you will have to edit EACH CATEGORY’s settings in the Links menu to manual? For those of us just starting to use WP (particularly when we’ve moved from other less spiffy blogware) it can be a bit confusing.

    Hell, I’d rewrite your instructions for you if you wanted.

  • 50. Andrew Charlton  |  June 7th, 2006 at 9:59 am

    Ang,

    Thanks for your feedback on the instructions. I will get that added in there and try to make it a little clearer overall. I enjoy getting feedback from those who use my plugin, I just wish more people would comment (49 comments with almost 2000 downloads) about their experience.

  • 51. RoQ  |  June 7th, 2006 at 10:10 am

    You know what would be brilliant? Telling people to not use your code if they have any themes istalled other than the classic or the default.

    You know what would be almost brilliant? Telling people how to fix their worpress install AFTER your code has rendered it usuless.

    You know what is completely stupid? NOT doing one oif the above.

    Thanks for your crappy instructions - ridiculous amount of grief this has caused me.

  • 52. Andrew Charlton  |  June 7th, 2006 at 12:26 pm

    RoQ,

    My plugin uses the standard built in WP functions to display the links. I can’t be responsible for any theme that deviates from this and uses its own. If you bothered to take a look at the code I had to work with, it was very inflexible and it doesn’t get much better than this.

    I would say 80% of people that bothered to give me feedback had absolutely no problem with their installation. Others who presented their problems to me had complete support and every person you see in the comments that had a problem was contacted by me personally and had their problem resolved through e-mail. I will be happy to post all of those e-mail threads or forward them to you if you want to take back you statement that I don’t help people with their installs.

    So instead of doing something reasonable like presenting your problem and asking for help you took the easy, childish way out.

    I’m coming up on 2000 downloads of my plugin and the number of problems people have reported is actually very small. I’m sorry things didn’t work out and good luck finding another way to manually order your links.

  • 53. Angelo  |  June 7th, 2006 at 1:14 pm

    Roq: You know what would be stuipd? Using free code, breaking your (customized) wordpress blog and then complaining to the author for not warning that you’d break your blog!

  • 54. Matt  |  June 10th, 2006 at 11:59 am

    When I saw your comment above — “My Category Order is in the works!” — I realized that I installed this plugin under a complete misunderstanding — I though it would help me change the order of the categories themselves, not the links within categories. Just wanted to say that I do hope you find time to make that plugin — it is sorely needed!

    But thanks for your work.

  • 55. Dave  |  June 10th, 2006 at 10:13 pm

    Checked compatibility with WP 2.0.3, just use the 2.0.2 version. It’s funny that the links and link categories pages haven’t been touched by the developers in about 6 months.

    Checkout what’s going on in trunk and you’ll see things much much different.

  • 56. Christian Arroyo  |  June 13th, 2006 at 8:38 am

    It seen no body have the anwer for this problem

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'link_manual' in 'order clause']
    SELECT link_url, link_name, link_image, link_target, link_description, link_rating, link_rel , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated FROM wp_links WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ AND link_category = 8 ORDER BY link_manual ASC

    and i seen some people having this problem
    i upgrade to wordpress 2.0.3 and puff the problem came in

    any one with a real Anwer BTW Great Plugin…

  • 57. Andrew Charlton  |  June 13th, 2006 at 9:48 am

    When you upgraded core files I had to modify were overwritten. You’ll need to copy link-categories.php to /wp-admin/ and links.php to /wp-includes/ again. This is one of the downsides to my plugin but sadly it is necessary to get this kind of functionality from WP.

  • 58. Ferdinand  |  June 16th, 2006 at 4:53 pm

    Hi,
    It’s a great plugin!

    My link categories are now sorted manually, but my links are not. But even I sorted my links manually as well, the are still completely unsorted.
    Do you have any idea to solve it?

  • 59. Andrew Charlton  |  June 16th, 2006 at 10:45 pm

    For each link category you have to go in and change the “Sort Order”. Go to the Links -> Links Categories admin page, and click edit on a category, there will be a dropdown for sorting methods, choose manual. Links in that category will now display in the order you set in the plugin. Hope that helps.

  • 60. Ion Adrian  |  June 17th, 2006 at 6:14 am

    Listen everyone!
    This is what you have to do to get rid of that database error:

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘link_manual’ in ‘order clause’]
    SELECT link_url, link_name, link_image, link_target, link_description, link_rating, link_rel , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated FROM wp_links WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ AND link_category = 8 ORDER BY link_manual ASC

    .. or something simillar
    Just go to the admin section ‘Links->My link order’ and set a link list order..any other than the one you have now. Save and… it works.
    Cheers

  • 61. Lance Brown  |  June 20th, 2006 at 11:30 am

    Hi Andrew,

    Just a small note - your plugin still says version 1.0 on my WP Plugins page, even though it’s MyLinkOrder 2.02 that I have installed. Just a tiny oversight I assume, but I figured you’d want to know. I actually came back here and re-dowloaded 2.02 and was in the process of re-installing it when I realized that’s what I already had installed. :-\ No big whoop though. It’s an easy install. :-)

    BTW, RoQ (@ comment #51) was being a jerk. Kudos for being so courteous in your reply to him.

  • 62. lsc400i  |  June 27th, 2006 at 6:58 pm

    I am having the same problem as above

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘link_manual’ in ‘order clause’]
    SELECT link_url, link_name, link_image, link_target, link_description, link_rating, link_rel , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated FROM wp_links WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ AND link_category = 8 ORDER BY link_manual ASC

    I’ve tried everything that was suggested in the comments above,
    I am running wp2.03 and downloaded the latest plugin

    thanks

  • 63. Dominik  |  July 8th, 2006 at 11:45 am

    Hello all,

    I just installed Mylinkorder, unfortunately it doesn’t work. Oviously the plugin tries to read something from the wrong database. I receive the error message “Table ‘db1051044-cpg.wp_linkcategories’ doesn’t exist”. db1051044-cpg is my Coppermine database.

    How can I fix that?

    Regards,
    Dominik

  • 64. Paul Oyler  |  July 12th, 2006 at 11:16 pm

    I’m also getting the same database error as so many others have reported. This only happened when I upgraded WP to 2.0.3, so apparently there is some sort of compatibility issue involved here.

    I did try to reset the link order in My Link Order, as suggested above, but this had no effect.

    Is there any chance that a fix will be forthcoming? Your plugin is great, and we’d really like to be able to keep using it.

  • 65. Paul Oyler  |  July 12th, 2006 at 11:29 pm

    As a follow-up, I just deleted link-categories.php and links.php from the latest download, and replaced them with the files from the 2.0.1 download. That corrected the problem immediately. I’m wondering if possibly one of those files has something out of place in the latest download?

  • 66. Andrew  |  July 13th, 2006 at 7:55 am

    When you upgrade to a new WP version you have to re-install those two files since they get overwritten during the upgrade process. It isn’t the ideal situation but it is what I have to work with. I have to modify those files to accomplish the ordering. I could possibly create a function that could be included in the template files so that it won’t break on upgrading, but I don’t see the advantage of deviating away from the core files. Glad you got it figured out and I’ll make it clearer up top that you have to re-upload those files when upgrading.

  • 67. amber  |  July 14th, 2006 at 5:49 pm

    I just found thid and was wondering if th is would help me make a links page without the blogroll?
    I’ve sccumulated quite a few nice links over the years and would like to list them on a links page
    Thanks!

  • 68. mwspoons  |  July 15th, 2006 at 5:31 pm

    My sidebar is built dynamically and uses the wp_get_links function. I was able to use your plugin and the extra database column the plugin utilizes by changing my database query from:
    $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
    to this:
    $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories ORDER BY `my_cat_order` ASC");

    Thanks for the great plugin, it is exactly what I was looking for.

  • 69. Patrick  |  July 24th, 2006 at 11:26 am

    I think this tool messed up my internal permalink system.
    There are no more internal incoming links since I installed it 6 days ago.
    Using wordpress 2.0.3. and the template “greening”

  • 70. Andrew Charlton  |  July 24th, 2006 at 12:10 pm

    Is your “internal permalink system” just the standard stuff built into wp or something custom that you have installed? You are the first person to report any problems with permalinks.

  • 71. Tim Ellsworth  |  July 24th, 2006 at 1:11 pm

    Thanks so much for this. Exactly what I was looking for.

  • 72. cooper  |  July 30th, 2006 at 7:53 am

    ok
    Now the first time it never worked despite me doing that get links thing.

    I am going to try to delete it from my plugin file and do a new install.

    Which version for 2.0?

    And just i case where would I have to change that get links thing ?
    How do I back up files in the wp administration thing? I seemed to have caused some parse problem last time I did anything in there so I want to be careful

  • 73. Bekah  |  August 14th, 2006 at 7:50 am

    Great plugin.

    I would love to have a similar feature to organize page order. Any idea how to do that? Or can you create one?

  • 74. Bekah  |  August 14th, 2006 at 7:53 am

    N/M I found on your site where you explain it. Thanks!

  • 75. Eric Rusch  |  August 21st, 2006 at 9:11 am

    Is the latest version of MyLinkOrder (2.0.2 & 2.0.3) also work on WP 2.0.4?

  • 76. Andrew Charlton  |  August 21st, 2006 at 11:17 am

    I’ll have to check it out to be sure, but it looks like they haven’t done anything that would affect the plugin, which has been the case since 2.0. If you want to go ahead and try it (just backup the files I point out in the instructions) there isn’t much harm (if something does blow up just restore the backed up files). Either way I’ll upgrade and test it within the next couple days to be sure.

  • 77. Ang  |  August 25th, 2006 at 11:34 am

    Yep, works just fine in 2.0.4 - no adverse affects that I can see.

  • 78. boo  |  August 29th, 2006 at 11:47 am

    Fantastic plugin, exactly what I was looking for. Install was a breeze and worked first time with no tweaking - many thanks!

  • 79. Ari Newman  |  August 29th, 2006 at 7:44 pm

    thanks - exactly what I was looking for also. Much apprecaited.

  • 80. Rick  |  August 29th, 2006 at 9:30 pm

    Great! Plugin worked first time. Clear instructions, everything was straight forward. I’ve been looking for this for a while.

  • 81. David  |  September 6th, 2006 at 1:31 pm

    Andrew, thanks for this plugin. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction for fixing a problem that I’m having. I installed the plugin with 0 problems, and I can order links withing categories. I cannot, however, order how the categories get displayed. I make the change in the plugin, but there’s no effect on the live site.

    Please steer me in the right direction.

  • 82. hevangel  |  September 9th, 2006 at 2:07 am

    Hi,

    Thankyou for the plugin. However, there is a conflict with the “coppermine” plugin. I suspect the two plug use the same variable to store the database name, as a reasult when I turn on the coppermine plugin, it try to look for album.wp_linkcategories.

    Any idea how can I fix it? Thanks.

  • 83. Dave  |  September 12th, 2006 at 12:38 pm

    I just got your plugin installed without any problems(except the links.php and link-categories.php files were not included in the download, so I got them from the mylinkorder-1-5-2.zip file)

    I have set all the categories to Manual now but when I go to the “My Link Order” tab the two arrows are not there so I cannot change the order.

    Any ideas???

  • 84. Ralf Eichler  |  September 13th, 2006 at 9:55 am

    Hi, I installed, and when I switch to Link order “Manual” I get the following error:

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'link_manual' in 'order clause']
    SELECT link_url, link_name, link_image, link_target, link_description, link_rating, link_rel , IF (DATE_ADD(link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated , UNIX_TIMESTAMP(link_updated) AS link_updated_f FROM wp_links WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ AND link_category = 1 ORDER BY link_manual ASC

    Any Hints?

  • 85. Andrew Charlton  |  September 13th, 2006 at 10:01 am

    Looks like your links.php didn’t get updated or you aren’t using get_links_list() in your sidebar template. Check those out and let me know, but those are the most common reasons for an error like that.

  • 86. eyetag  |  September 14th, 2006 at 8:39 am

    on my 2.02 install category order works and link order shows correctly on plugin page, but not in sidebar..? please help! thx!

  • 87. Krissi  |  September 17th, 2006 at 7:15 am

    I have the same problem as “eyetag” (post no 86). The plugin page shows exactly how I would like the link order, but it still sort it alphabetically in the sidebar.

  • 88. Krissi  |  September 17th, 2006 at 10:30 am

    I found the trouble; the sidebar.php didn’t used get_links_list(). Just as you pointed out in another reply here.

  • 89. v2ike6udik  |  September 21st, 2006 at 9:37 pm

    err…

    Do not use hardcoded database table adresses… (in alter “alter table”…)

    Use ie “$wpdb->linkcategories”, ’cause “wp_” is only default table prefix… not, the only possible.

  • 90. Andrew Charlton  |  September 21st, 2006 at 11:49 pm

    An updated zip file is available using the wordpress database object. This plugin was the first code I had written for WP so I guess it shows.

  • 91. Schwed  |  September 30th, 2006 at 7:38 am

    Thanks for a great plugin, I have been attempting to fix that by looking into the source files without any luck…But now it works exactly as wanted just after a few clicks:)

    Thank you!

  • 92. Greg  |  October 1st, 2006 at 4:14 am

    Hi Andrew,

    Hope you can help. I’ve downloaded and installed your plugin as instructed. However my link categories do not appear in the order I chose. I think this might be something to do with the Tiga (with sidebar widgets) theme I’m using. I don’t really know much about this but I’m assuming the problem would be with sidebar.php? In the Tiga theme folder I’ve opened sidebar.php and have isolated the following section which I assume refers to the links/categories.


    get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
    if (get_links($link_cat->cat_id, ”, ”, ”, FALSE, ”, FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE, FALSE)) {
    ?>
    cat_id; ?>”>
    cat_name; ?>

    cat_id); ?>


    Any ideas what is going wrong and which pieces of code I would need to change?
    Thanks in advance. Greg.

  • 93. Greg  |  October 1st, 2006 at 4:16 am

    oh, that code didn’t all appear. I’ll try emailing it to you instead.

    Thanks.

  • 94. Andrew Charlton  |  October 1st, 2006 at 10:56 pm

    The following code will do the trick. Slightly annoying that the Tiga theme doesn’t use the standard method of getting the categories. Doing a query like that in the theme template is usually a big no-no. Watch out if you upgrade to WP 2.1 coming out some time soon, your theme will most likely break.

    <!-- Begin - Links from the 'Links Manager'-->
    <?php
    $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM
    $wpdb->linkcategories ORDER BY my_cat_order asc");
    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
    if (get_links($link_cat->cat_id, ”, ”, ”, FALSE, ”, FALSE,
    FALSE, -1, FALSE, FALSE)) {
    ?>
    <div class="left-widget-title"
    id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>">
    <?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?>
    </div>
    <div class="left-widget">
    <ul>
    <?php wp_get_links("category=$link_cat->cat_id&orderby=manual"); ?>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <?php
    }
    }
    ?>
    <!– End - Links from the ‘Links Manager’–>

  • 95. Sebastian  |  October 7th, 2006 at 12:34 pm

    Great plugin, thanks!

  • 96. joscha  |  October 19th, 2006 at 2:03 pm

    Had some problems in the beginning but got it finally. Works great. I suppose you have to do those installation steps IN ORDER to get it going…
    didnt set “order links” to manual before i started reordering them. that messed it all up i guess.
    just reset everything and do the steps again it should work fine then.

    Thanks a bunch for that plugin!

  • 97. joscha  |  October 19th, 2006 at 2:05 pm

    oh, and the same plugin for sections would be awesome.
    hope you spoil us with that one kinda soon!

  • 98. Soilheart  |  October 29th, 2006 at 6:22 am

    I just saw that 2.0.5 is out (one day after I took the time to update to 2.0.4, ‘doh)
    Could you look if this plugin works as it should with 2.0.5 and tell me before I dare to install this =P

  • 99. Andrew Charlton  |  October 29th, 2006 at 1:47 pm

    Thanks for the notification about 2.0.5 Soilheart, I thought I signed up to be notified by email. Anyways, updated the plugin to include changes to link-categories.php.

  • 100. Tracey  |  October 30th, 2006 at 7:38 am

    I just used your plugin on a client site and you SAVED my life. I’m bookmarking you and using you for all of my client blog sites in the future. I’ll get a link to you up on my site asap. Thank you! You can see it here: artsyfran.com

  • 101. Walter Hutchens  |  November 12th, 2006 at 12:22 pm

    THANK YOU for this elegant and handy plug in. A very nice piece of work!

  • 102. Thannasis  |  November 28th, 2006 at 11:20 pm

    Phew! Just great. Had headaches trying to sort my links the way i wanted. Well done! Thanks!

  • 103. Kate  |  December 1st, 2006 at 5:59 pm

    For some reason the up and down arrows arent showing up so i can’t organise my links :/

  • 104. Eric  |  December 8th, 2006 at 11:38 am

    Thanks for the plugin, but I can’t seem to get it to work. First I got the database error, which went away after using the Links Order page. However, the links order isn’t changing. I uploaded the correct php file and am using get_links_list(), so I’m not sure why it isn’t working.

  • 105. Mario.unloeblich  |  December 19th, 2006 at 2:13 am

    Hy!

    Thank you, this Plugin is very nice!

  • 107. Andrew Charlton  |  December 19th, 2006 at 10:27 pm

    Links seem to be working fine for me. Maybe just a server hiccup.

  • 108. mushu  |  December 28th, 2006 at 4:38 pm

    i keep getting a blank page when i activate the latest plugin with 2.0.5

  • 109. Steve  |  January 7th, 2007 at 1:08 pm

    Hi there,
    I just stumbled across your plugin for My Link Order.

    Duh.

    This should be included in the standard build of WP if you ask me, bundled with Word Press, as part of the release.

    Something you might want to mention in your instructions- TURN OFF THE WP CACHE if it’s enabled.

    Man, I sat here making changes, refreshing, and it didn’t take. So I dug through WP, checking permissions on the files, thinking it’s not able to write or something.

    Then it dawned on me. WP Cache. As soon as I disabled it, bingo, works like a charm.. might make mention of this in the instructions so others won’t sit here like a chucklehead for hours on end like I just did.
    I’ll learn. Eventually. ;)

    Now that this issue is solved, I’m off to install the other ordering plugins. Thanks for these, they’re the answer to some big headaches.

    Congrats on the engagement by the way.
    Steve

  • 110. Mark  |  January 8th, 2007 at 10:29 pm

    Worked great for me right out of the box on a new 2.0.5 install. This should definitely be a standard WordPress feature. Thanks for the plugin.

  • 111. J5  |  January 12th, 2007 at 2:14 pm

    im using 2.0.6 and i cant get it to work. Why isn’t this already apart of wp!!!

  • 112. Andrew Charlton  |  January 12th, 2007 at 2:17 pm

    I haven’t updated My Link Order to 2.0.6 yet, it was on my list of stuff to do this weekend. Check back in a few days and I should have a new version up.

  • 113. Ubercool  |  January 13th, 2007 at 8:24 am

    I can’t get My Link Order to work! I copied the files as you suggested, but it won’t sort the links, can you advise?

  • 114. mushu  |  January 16th, 2007 at 1:00 pm

    i keepgetting a blank page when trying to activate the plugin

  • 115. Andrew Charlton  |  January 16th, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    Well that might be a first, is the “Activate Plugin” page coming up blank or when you go to the “My Link Order” page?

  • 116. Andrew Charlton  |  January 16th, 2007 at 1:07 pm

    Also I have not updated for 2.0.6 or 2.0.7 yet so if you are upgraded to the newest version then that might be the problem.

  • 117. mushu  |  January 16th, 2007 at 2:06 pm

    i’ve tried it with a fresh WP 2.0.7 install and its the only plugin, the activate plugin page is blank,

    I also have it on 2.0.5, its still a blank page when activating plugin, i have another version of 2.0.5 that its working on but not sure why it won’t work on this one, i used the same mylinkorder folder as well but one it works and the other it doesn’t

  • 118. Andrew Charlton  |  January 16th, 2007 at 2:17 pm

    Not sure there’s a lot I can tell you mushu since I’m a little stumped. It might be erroring out but the error message is hidden, check out the source and see if there’s anything there.

  • 119. linda  |  January 20th, 2007 at 6:24 pm

    2.05, I installed it, but it doesn’t offer “manual” (I’m using tiga-06 theme)

    So, I see the plugin, change the order, but it does not take effect. Am I supposed to re-upload my *backed up* files? or overwrite with the new ones? The links are still there.. so I’m a bit confused.

  • 120. linda  |  January 20th, 2007 at 8:06 pm

    Well, like others on this board, I found (finally) my own error - and I think people are not saying it loudly or clearly enough - MANUAL IS FOUND IN THE AREA FOR LINK CATEGORIES!!!! Now, it’s working fine

  • 121. ::matthew  |  January 22nd, 2007 at 9:09 pm

    WP 2.1 is now out and it would appear that the current version won’t work because of changed file names in wp-admin, etc.

    Is a new version likely to be released for 2.1?

    Love the plugin…it works like a charm in 2.0x

  • 122. Rick  |  January 22nd, 2007 at 10:36 pm

    MANUAL IS FOUND IN THE AREA FOR LINK CATEGORIES

    Guess I’m not following you here.

    I just upgraded to 2.1, and this plugin is no longer working for me. I downloaded and installed the 2.1 plugin version. Where do I go to select ‘manual’ link order?

    Also, do we not change the links.php and link-categories.php files in this version of My Link Order?

    Also, in the instructions is something I don’t understand, at least, I’m not sure where it goes in the sidebar:

    Modify sidebar template to use correct filter(additional parameter seperated by ampersands):
    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    Thanks in advance for your help. If anybody would like to take pity on a poor blogger, my email is rickscheibner AT gmail DOT com

  • 123. Andrew Charlton  |  January 22nd, 2007 at 10:44 pm

    Hey Rick, I’m still working on differentiating between 2.1 and the old stuff. You no longer need to copy those 2 files, just the plugin folder. In your template find the spot where your links are being displayed with get_links_list();. 2.1 has introduced a new function wp_list_bookmarks that is more flexible and allows the links to be ordered how you want without modifying the core files. The following is the minumum you need to display your links:

    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    I’ll revise the page to help make things more clear.

  • 124. Rick  |  January 22nd, 2007 at 10:55 pm

    Andrew, thanks for your quick response. I’ll disregard those two files.

    I’m still not exactly sure where the additional code goes, though. I see this:

    But I’m not exactly sure where to put this:

    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    Thanks again for the support here.

  • 125. Andrew Janjigian  |  January 23rd, 2007 at 1:10 pm

    Thanks for the reply at WP. I’m using 3 column K2.
    I installed this plugin and it didn’t seem to do anything. I tried replacing get_links_list() with

    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    in sidebar.php but it did not seem to make the plugin functional in the sidebar for 3CK2.

    In your installation instructions, is there some reason why the wp_list_bookmarks() modification comes after ordering the bookmarks? Does the order somehow dictate the modification you need to do?

    It seems like you are saying just paste:

    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    into the template, but that did not do the trick for me (though it did not _cause_ errors either, so WP seems to work fine with it present.)

  • 127. Jason  |  January 27th, 2007 at 3:13 pm

    Thank you so much for this wonderful plugin. It did everything I needed it to do after encountering problems with the 2.1 update.

    Thanks once again!

  • 128. Josh  |  January 27th, 2007 at 9:11 pm

    After updating to 2.1 this plug-in was very nice. Very simple to use and works perfectly!

    Thank you!

  • 129. Jeff in Korea  |  January 28th, 2007 at 6:42 am

    Great plugin. However, with 2.1 the link categories are in rather huge font while the links within the categories are normal sized but heavily indented.

    Try as I might, I cannot find where or how to modify the size of the category font and how to lessen the indent on the individual links within the categories. any help you could provide would be appreciated.

  • 130. Oliver Johanndrees  |  January 29th, 2007 at 1:35 am

    Hi.
    Sorry, but when I try to start your mylinkorder-plugin, V2.1 under Wordpress 2.1 (german), I get the following error-message.
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 67584 bytes) in /mnt/kw2/08/565/00000012/htdocs/blog/wp-admin/menu.php on line 46
    After that, access to the admin-site only after deleting the plugin from the plugin-directory.

    Whats the problem?

  • 131. Brad Palmore  |  January 29th, 2007 at 8:53 pm

    I could be missing something easy here, but would appreciate any help you could offer. I upgraded to WP2.1 and then upgraded this plugin to 2.1 as well (awesome plugin, by the way). I’m using the Sidebar Widgets plugin to manage my sidebar. I can see the controls for the plugin under the “Blogroll” tab, but the changes do not affect the order of the links. I’ve tried replacing the code in the widgets.php plugin file, but I must be messing up because I keep crashing the blog when I do that. Any recommendations?

  • 132. Brad Palmore  |  January 29th, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    Please forgive… I figured it out right after I posted. Sorry!

  • 133. Alba  |  January 31st, 2007 at 5:36 am

    Note for those using WP 2.1 and a K2 theme : you need to apply the modification to the links.php file (in the /k2/app/modules folder), not the sidebar template. Then it works ! ;)

  • 134. Prince Roy  |  January 31st, 2007 at 8:34 am

    outstanding plug-in. Thanks a lot for creating it.

    I have my links in each link category displayed alphabetically. Would it be possible to make it so they appear in random order each time one visits the site or refreshes the page? Kind of like a link shuffle…

  • 135. Adam Warner  |  January 31st, 2007 at 6:21 pm

    Hi there,

    I just installed the plugin and followed the instructions given, and received this error. Can you please give me some guidance?

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'link_count' in 'where clause']
    SELECT * FROM wp_categories where link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_order ASC

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

  • 136. Adam Warner  |  January 31st, 2007 at 7:20 pm

    Please disregard previous comment. I’m on 2.0.5 and downloaded the wrong version;)

    I’ve installed the proper one and it’s working great! Thanks for an awesome plugin!

    Adam

  • 137. Adam Warner  |  January 31st, 2007 at 7:30 pm

    Sorry to be a pain dude, but can you tell me where the up and down images are supposed to go? I’ve now installed both mylinkorder and mypageorder, but the arrow images don’t show?

    Thanks;)

  • 138. Andrew Charlton  |  January 31st, 2007 at 10:16 pm

    Sorry about not being too clear about where to install my plugins, each of the plugins need to have their own subdirectory in the plugins folder so plugins/mylinkorder and plugins/mypageorder.

  • 139. Rudy Rucker  |  February 1st, 2007 at 11:24 am

    Okay, I spent an hour or two with this and I can’t get it to work. I followed the instructions, uploaded your files to my blog, activated the plug-in and I edited my themes/defualt/sidebar.php to look like this at the end. What’s wrong?


  • 140. Rudy Rucker  |  February 1st, 2007 at 11:45 am

    Okay, so the code change is to replace the call to
    get_links(list)
    by
    wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');

    The unclear part is WHERE to make this change. I am using my own tweaked version of the default theme. So first I changed default\sidebar.php, no joy.
    Then I changed default\links.php, still no joy.
    Then I changed in plugins\widgets\widgets.php, JOY.

    I wonder if it would still work if I went back and reverted sidebat.php and links.php?

  • 141. Rudy Rucker  |  February 1st, 2007 at 11:46 am

    Whoops, I meant the code phrase to replace is
    get_links_list()

  • 142. Andrew Charlton  |  February 1st, 2007 at 12:00 pm

    If you are using widgets then you shouldn’t need to modify the sidebar.php and maybe links.php (is links.php for the sidebar or is it a page template?). It is hard for me to tell you exactly where to modify the code because there are so many variations between themes, so I’m forced to be a little generic. Glad you got it going.

  • 143. Joe Fulgham  |  February 2nd, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    Upgraded with 2.1 and it’s working, but I want to turn off the link category being displayed on one of my sites. I’ve worked around it for now with CSS that hides that specific ID & H2 combo, but is there a way to make it not display the category name?

  • 144. Andrew Charlton  |  February 2nd, 2007 at 3:26 pm

    For wp_list_bookmarks, there is a parameter that lets you limit which categories get displayed. Say you had 5 link categories with id’s 1-5 but wanted to exclude cat 4 you’d use the following:

    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order&category=1,2,3,5′);

    Would be nice if there was a parameter that worked the other way around, something like “excludecategory”

  • 145. Phil  |  February 2nd, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    Hi there - I like the plugin… or how it looks like it should work, but it doesnt seem to be working for me.

    My sidebar code looks like this:

    get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
    if (get_links($link_cat->cat_id, ”, ”, ”, FALSE, ”, FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE, FALSE)) {
    ?>
    cat_id; ?>”>
    cat_name; ?>

    cat_id); ?>

    “>

    Im not sure what to replace from that, i’ve tried many different combinations but none seem to work.

  • 146. Phil  |  February 2nd, 2007 at 5:53 pm

    Hmm ok that didnt quite work out… can I mail you? Really appreciated.

  • 147. T.J. Smith  |  February 5th, 2007 at 12:54 pm

    Andrew,
    First off, this plugin is awesome! The links ordered correctly when I was using WP 2.0.x. Now that I’ve upgraded to WP 2.1 the links are in a strange order. I just can’t seem to get your plugin to work with widgits. I tried what Rudy said above, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

  • 148. Rick  |  February 10th, 2007 at 4:49 pm

    Sorry to say, I still haven’t got this one to work. I’ve done EVERYTHING by the book, and still no luck. Too bad, too…my previous installation worked great. I’ve had nothing but bad luck since WP upgraded to 2.1.

  • 149. Andrew Charlton  |  February 10th, 2007 at 4:57 pm

    If you can’t get it to work then just email me your sidebar template and i’ll stick it in.

  • 150. Judie  |  February 16th, 2007 at 12:14 pm

    I am getting this error which I have seen in several other posts:

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'link_count' in 'where clause']
    SELECT * FROM wp_categories where link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_order ASC

    I installed and activated the plug-in then changed the sidebar.php which was:

    Links

    ‘, ”, ”, 0, ‘name’, 0, 0, -1, 0); ?>

    to:

    Links

    0, ‘name’, 0, 0, -1, 0); ?>

    But then when I go to “My Link Order” tab, I get the error above. Is there a step that I missed?

  • 151. Rick  |  February 16th, 2007 at 12:38 pm

    Andrew, you and I emailed each other back and forth for a while a few weeks ago. I’m coming back to this to look at it with fresh eyes and see if there’s anything that I missed. Last we talked, you said that my process was correct, and that you weren’t sure exactly what the problem is.

    But, I’ll go ahead and email you my sidebar template so you can take a look at it. I’m using the sidebar widgets, for whatever that’s worth. Thanks for the continued support here.

  • 152. Andrew Charlton  |  February 16th, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    Judie,

    Are you on WP 2.1? “link_count” is a new column in 2.1 so either your database didn’t get upgraded correctly or you are on an older WP version and grabbed the wrong plugin version.

  • 153. T.J.  |  February 17th, 2007 at 11:56 am

    I’m currently using WP version 2.0 and installed your plug-in. I had such high hopes with this as I have ALOT OF LINKS that I wanted to organize, however, I can’t get it to work. Even after re-ordering the links and their categories under “my link order”, the links appear the same way they did before on my blog. Also, as described by a couple others, I DO NOT get a “manual” option in the drop down menu. I do when I go to create a new link category, but I receive this error message:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/atcfnm/domains/allthingscfnm.net/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php:8) in /home/atcfnm/domains/allthingscfnm.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/link-categories.php on line 78

    Now the category will show up even after getting this error, but that still doesn’t fix the main problem of not being able to organize the links and their categories like I should with this plug-in. Any ideas?
    I’m using the Anaconda 0.7 theme by the way.

  • 154. Ced  |  February 24th, 2007 at 10:50 am

    I have this error when I click on Activate in the plugins menu:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in mylinkorder.php on line 170

    (WordPress 2.1.1)

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks :)

  • 155. Andrew Charlton  |  February 24th, 2007 at 10:55 am

    Ced,

    Try downloading it again, I found the same problem on my other plugin but hadn’t updated this one yet.

  • 156. Ced  |  February 24th, 2007 at 11:05 am

    Same error :s

  • 157. Andrew Charlton  |  February 24th, 2007 at 11:15 am

    Arg missed one occurrence of the problematic syntax, try it again.

  • 158. John  |  February 25th, 2007 at 10:40 pm

    Hello,

    I am looking forward to using your excellent plugin, but unfortunately I have hit a minor snag. When I install and activate the plugin, then go to the “My Link Order” section under blogroll, I get an error saying that the wp_categories table does not exist. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    John

  • 159. Steve  |  February 26th, 2007 at 9:13 am

    Man, this works great, but it totally dies when Widgets are activated. Any plans to Widgetize your plug-ins in the future?

  • 160. Andrew Charlton  |  February 26th, 2007 at 10:12 am

    It works with widgets but you have to either modify the widget plugin files or create a new widget which someone else has already done, http://blog.agladman.com/2007/02/14/my-link-order-widgetized/. You still use my plugin to set the order of links but that will get it going with widgets.

  • 161. Stephen Gerding  |  February 26th, 2007 at 12:31 pm

    Huh - I tried that one and it didn’t work, and I’ve been unsuccessful in widgetizing it myself. Ah well - great plug-in either way!

  • 162. Eric Rusch  |  February 28th, 2007 at 6:11 pm

    Regarding 2.1, I don’t understand step 5 of the instructions. Is this an edit in to sidebar.php in Theme Editor? If so, I don’t find anywhere.

    Am I supposed to paste: in sidebar.php?

    I had this working in prior version and love it. I have to get it working again.

    Thanks.

  • 163. Eric Rusch  |  February 28th, 2007 at 6:15 pm

    Hmmm. Previous post didn’t take code I pasted in. I’ll try this…

    Do I paste “wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’); in sidebar.php?

  • 164. ralph  |  March 2nd, 2007 at 5:46 am

    I use the theme Green Marinée 1.0. The original sidebar.php contains ‘, ”, ”, 0, ‘name’, 0, 0, -1, 0); ?> if I replace this with: I get:

  • 168. lili  |  March 4th, 2007 at 5:48 am

    So, after a few hours of messing with this, I finally looked a bit closer at the code and got it to work. Duh. I’m running WordPress 2.1, with sidebar widgets installed, and the Kubrick/default theme, for now. At first, I couldn’t get the plugin to work on the journal page itself, though it sorted the links just fine in the admin area. Then I saw other people having similar issues, so I thought I’d post my solution in case it helps someone else.

    Instead of editing any of the theme files, you need to edit the actual sidebar widget via the admin/plugins section. The function to change is as follows (note the commented out original code)

    function widget_links($args) {
    global $wp_db_version;
    extract($args);

    if ( $wp_db_version $before_title, 'title_after'=>$after_title));
    wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');
    }
    }

  • 169. lili  |  March 4th, 2007 at 5:53 am

    okay, so that code paste didn’t work out quite as planned =.= (d’oh)
    But basically, you want to replace the get_links_list call with the example given by the plugin author, AS WELL AS the existing wp_list_bookmarks call within that same widget_links function.
    And then, as far as I can tell, everything works fine on a widgetised “platform”.

    Cheers for a great plugin, by the way ^_^

  • 170. Eric Rusch  |  March 9th, 2007 at 11:33 am

    Clear as mud.

  • 171. lili  |  March 9th, 2007 at 4:29 pm

    Eric,
    assuming that comment was directed at my posts, you can always send an email to lilimist AT gmail DOT com and I will walk you through it. I was unsure of exactly how to format the code to get it to post in here and I didn’t want to spam the comments section while I figured it out.

    You’re welcome :P

  • 172. Andrew Charlton  |  March 9th, 2007 at 4:32 pm

    I helped Eric gets his stuff going, it was the Sidebar Widgets. I took a closer look at the Widgets stuff and will post up some “official” widget installation instructions.

  • 173. Kadaj  |  March 9th, 2007 at 6:47 pm

    To be fair to both Lili and Eric, I too found the instructions posted by Lili to be a tad obtuse, until I thought to actually open the sidebar widgets file under Plugins/Plugin Editor. To make things a bit clearer, I did a search for the line “function widget_links($args)”. Then I replaced the line that says get_links_list(); and the line that says wp_list_bookmarks(array(blah blah blah)); with the line wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    That seemed to work fine. Thanx heaps to Andrew for the neat plugin, and Lili for eventually solving my frustrations getting it to work with widgets.

    Oh, and Andrew, I don’t know if installing the “Live Comment Preview” plugin would help everyone who seems to be having trouble copying and pasting code here? Might be worth a test-run.

    Peace,
    Kadaj

  • 174. sylvainman  |  March 15th, 2007 at 5:21 pm

    Your plugin is very useful, but it creates in the source code a then a and a second .
    On my site for example :
    Photoblogs

    A Walk Through Durham Township
    Deceptive Media
    Mexican Pictures

    Mute
    NoushinBlog
    The bitter*girls
    The G8


    But is it your plugin or a WordPress mistake ?

  • 175. sylvainman  |  March 15th, 2007 at 5:22 pm

    Oups…
    We can’t see everything I wrote.
    How can I contact you ?

  • 176. Martin  |  March 20th, 2007 at 10:02 am

    Awesome plugin, thanks for the good work.

  • 177. Paul  |  March 28th, 2007 at 12:57 am

    I’ve found that the absolute easiest way to use this great plugin as a widget is to get the Widgetize Anything plugin (erik-rasmussen.com/blog/2006/11/30/widgetize-anything/) and then in a widgetize anything dragabble box just paste in:
    wp_list_bookmarks(’orderby=order&category_orderby=order’);

    You can see the results at dunn-olivieri-racing.com/

    Two great plugins make one super widget

  • 178. Jenson  |  April 5th, 2007 at 6:09 am

    works fine, thank you.

  • 179. James Wedding  |  April 9th, 2007 at 8:25 pm

    Worked great with 2.0.4. Moved to 2.1.3, and now gives me:
    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'cat_order' in 'order clause']
    SELECT * FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_order ASC

    Any ideas? I’m commenting it out for now, but I’d love to have it back! Thanks.

  • 180. PeterL  |  April 24th, 2007 at 10:25 am

    Hi!

    Having problems with the Widgetize-Anything solution… I pasted the code (suggested by Paul #177), and get the following error code:

    Andrew: have you been able to widgetize this? I am desparate!
    Thanks

  • 181. PeterL  |  April 24th, 2007 at 10:26 am

    Hi, just read the previous thread of comments a couple of times but still not clear on the widgets issue, I also got a similar ‘parse error’ - anyway great plugin, I’ll continue to work on it. Maybe I missed something.

  • 183. tom  |  May 16th, 2007 at 12:56 pm

    I wish this was already included in WP. Unfortunately I it doesn’t seem to change anything for me. I’ve updated the links.php file but no affect on the ordering.

  • 184. Dementia  |  May 19th, 2007 at 11:24 am

    Great widget! Exactly what I was looking for, implemented with no problems. Thank you so much!

  • 185. JD Ryan  |  May 24th, 2007 at 8:14 am

    I can’t seem to get this to work. I followed the directions to a t. Should we relace the ‘get links list’ in the links.php as well? I’m using WP 2.2 and seoprotheme 1.5.

    I’d really like to use this.

  • 186. T.N  |  May 28th, 2007 at 12:26 pm

    Red all comments but not realy familiar with PHP. What exactly must be done to get the plugin working in my Sidebar(Template: DaisyRaeGemini),-installing was no problem, but entering the code in the sidebar gives the message:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_list_bookmarks() /xxxxxxxxx/content/themes/daisyraegemini/sidebar.php on line 218
    My WP is 2.03,
    Thanks for helping,
    Lots of regards TN.

  • 187. Deb  |  June 1st, 2007 at 1:30 pm

    Yes! The latest version of wordpress - 2.2 - broke all the custom code I’d used to order and lay out my links list. Your plugin saved me the trouble of hunting down the change to fix it — and in the process of tweaking my css to get it looking the way I wanted, I found the solution to another problem that had been driving me nuts. You’re my new hero!

  • 188. Rene  |  June 2nd, 2007 at 9:34 am

    Great plugin, got it to work on my WordPress 2.2 to change link order in my blogroll, BUT, it added a title and messed up the sidebar box. My theme requires sidebar edits, widgets not enabled.

    from source code:

    My Links

    Blogroll

    See my blog to see what I mean at:
    My blog

    What can do to change this?

    René

  • 189. Rene  |  June 2nd, 2007 at 9:57 am

    Sorry code tag didn’t work:

  • 190. Rene  |  June 2nd, 2007 at 3:05 pm

    Thanks, Andrew, for such quick turnaround on fixing the code for my un-widget theme.

    Perfection.
    And you can make more than one bloglog with this?
    Or work on the other categories?

    I’ll have to play with it. Meantime you can see how My Links looks now on my Tales of King Tut’s Blog

  • 191. Jon B.  |  June 6th, 2007 at 6:52 pm

    Here’s how I got this to work with widgets.

    In the widgets.php file in the widgets plug-in directory, change line 710 as follows.

    Old code:
    wp_list_bookmarks(array('title_before'=>$before_title, 'title_after'=>$after_title));
    New code:
    wp_list_bookmarks(array('orderby' => 'order', 'category_orderby' => 'order', 'title_before'=>$before_title, 'title_after'=>$after_title));

    I hope this helps

  • 192. Gary Walsh  |  June 8th, 2007 at 9:49 am

    I want to use My Link Order with the Vistered Little Theme (http://windyroad.org/software/wordpress/vistered-little-theme/). I can’t figure out where to put the replacement code for get_links_list since the sidebar (monosidebar.php or quadsidebar.php) calls a more complicated function in functions.php. (The theme uses widgets in the sidebar). Any suggestions?

  • 193. Ferdinand  |  June 24th, 2007 at 3:32 am

    If you run the lastest version of WP (2.2.+) you will need another solution.

    First above mentioned widget folder in the plugins directory is useless
    “>
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Step_7:_Delete_the_old_WordPress_files

    Now modify the widgets.php in the WP-includes folder
    change line 398 as follows:

    old code:
    'title_before' => $before_title, 'title_after' => $after_title,‘orderby’ => ‘order’, ‘category_orderby’ => ‘order’, ‘title_before’=>$before_title, ‘title_after’=>$after_title,

    This worked for me… :-)

  • 194. Ferdinand  |  June 24th, 2007 at 3:37 am

    If you run the lastest version of WP (2.2.+) you will need another solution.

    First above mentioned widget folder in the plugins directory is useless:
    Quote from wordpress.org
    “Delete these Files and Folders:

    ‘orderby’ => ‘order’, ‘category_orderby’ => ‘order’, ‘title_before’=>$before_title, ‘title_after’=>$after_title,
    doesn’t seem to work for me. (Working in WP-2.2.1) The changing proces even after several minutes keeps hanging at “Updating Link Order”. (How long does updating the linkorder take?) Anyone a solution? Thnx in advance!

  • 197. Gigs  |  June 29th, 2007 at 12:01 pm

    194 & 196

    Got it working now! (But it wrecks the typografics of the category-names in the lower part of the right sidebar. The names no longer have their bigger fontsize en -type)

  • 198. Daniel B.  |  July 2nd, 2007 at 6:46 pm

    Awesome plugin! Just what I wanted. I do have one request - what line of code would I delete to prevent the Categories from showing up in my link list? I just want the list of links with no category heading.

    Thanks

  • 199. Andrew Charlton  |  July 2nd, 2007 at 11:03 pm

    Thanks for the request and idea for new functionality. The built in function can actually do this but the widget didn’t have options for it. I’ve added new options on the widget, so reinstall the plugin from the link below, and then check the “Uncategorized” checkbox and leave the title box blank inside the widget’s popup menu. That will make that big bold “LINKS” go away in your sidebar.

  • 200. yuin  |  July 4th, 2007 at 3:12 am

    Hi Andrew!

    Great plugin! :D

    One minor thing though - is there a way to change the formatting of the Categories? Right now the Categories are showing up in text that’s a much larger size than any other header in my blog, and that kinda spoils the whole look of it.

    Thanks

  • 207. Kim  |  July 15th, 2007 at 9:57 pm

    Love this plugin!

    Is there any way to allow the widget to show only ONE category? I like the functionality of adding several link widgets (so I can place my link categories in different places on my sidebar - like the Morgan’s Replacemen Link Widget (http://tech.windsofstorm.net/wordpress/drop-links-widget/) does? That would be INCREDIBLE!!

    I need to be able to have multiple widgets with self-ordered link lists. Do you know how to do that? I would be forever in your debt!

    Hi Andrew,

    I installed your category and link plugin. With the link plugin I got a small design problem when the site is viewed by IE 6 (FireFox is ok).

    Please can you check this at http://www.turtle-trader.net/blog/ ?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi, I have tried this plugin on my demo blog. I have tested the non-widgetized sidebar as well, and everything works perferfectly.

    However, after widgetizing the sidebars, I found a little bug in the plugin that somehow causes the widget to not display properly. I haven’t pin-point the ‘little’ bug yet, but I believe it may have to do with styling/CSS or the hierarchical ordering of the links.

    Anyway, if you’d like to see the bug for yourself, please email me.

    Thank you for the hardwork!

    I was getting a parse error because when I copied into my sidebar php, i had to replace the apostrophe’s with regular ones. ie: ’ = ‘

    Hi!

    Unfortunately this version (v2.2) conflicts with Advanced TinyMCE Editor v.05 Plugin… I have had to deactivate “My Link Order” for the time being!
    I am using WP 2.2.2

  • 213. Robert  |  August 21st, 2007 at 5:23 am

    This is a very useful plugin.

    Although I think I may have encountered the same display / design problems as others above.

    The plugin seems to generate an extra tag before any heading. I noticed this because my list items have >> in front of them and there was an extra >> (with no other text) in front of the categories heading.
    It travels with the widget. So if I reorder the widgets in my sidebar this little glitch follows it.

    the standard widget is this

    links • リンク

    Vintage
    Japan
    Word Champ

    My Link Order generates this

    links • リンク

    Word Champ
    Vintage
    Japan

    the first tag and it’s closing tag are definitely out of place.

    Any ideas? I’m afraid I don’t understand php code to attempt to hack it myself.

    WP2.2.1 (My Link Order v2.2)

  • 214. Robert  |  August 21st, 2007 at 5:26 am

    The code tag doesn’t seem to have worked above.

    Have a look at the raw html!
    There is an extra ul tag before the heading and it’s closing tag after it.

  • 215. Robert Seidman  |  August 23rd, 2007 at 8:25 pm

    #194, Ferdinand, thank you! That totally did the trick for me. To the author, this is a great plug-in, and it would be even a little greater if you would have included the instructions given by Ferdinand since you’ve done at least one “update” since he posted that comment!

  • 216. Andrew Charlton  |  August 26th, 2007 at 3:03 pm

    Issues with the extra unordered list tags are fixed so if you’ve had problems with your theme try downloading the new version.

    but its cool nice and easy

  • 218. Brian  |  September 9th, 2007 at 1:57 pm

    Install and activated. Went to “My Link Order” in Admin area. At the top of the page I am getting the following errors.

    WordPress database error: [Access denied for user 'yscr_bbjkuF'@'localhost' to database 'blog']
    ALTER TABLE wp2_categories ADD `cat_order` INT( 4 ) NULL DEFAULT ‘0′

    WordPress database error: [Access denied for user 'yscr_bbjkuF'@'localhost' to database 'blog']
    ALTER TABLE wp2_links ADD `link_order` INT( 4 ) NULL DEFAULT ‘0′

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'cat_order' in 'order clause']
    SELECT * FROM wp2_categories where link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_order ASC

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and thanks for all your work on this.

    Sorry.. using 2.2.3

  • 220. Ryan  |  September 23rd, 2007 at 3:59 pm

    Will this version work with Wordpress 2.3?

  • 221. Andrew Charlton  |  September 23rd, 2007 at 4:17 pm

    Nope it won’t, that reminds me to put a note up on the page. 2.3 does away with the old category tables so pretty much any plugin that deals with post or link categories is going to break. Not sure when I’ll have a new version ready.

  • 222. Ferdinand  |  September 25th, 2007 at 3:09 pm

    Strange, it’s working for me with my already ordered links (after changing the code again as I wrote in #194), but since the category table doesn’t exist anymore there I receive an error message when I try to open the “My Link Order” menu.

  • 223. Ferdinand  |  September 25th, 2007 at 3:10 pm

    @Andrew,
    I am looking forward to the update. Thanks four your work!

  • 224. Peter Lurie  |  September 27th, 2007 at 5:22 am

    Just realized that I have no “My Link Order” widget. How is this installed? All that was in the installer was the “mylinkorder.php” filew plus a ReadMe. When activated, it appears in my Links/Blogroll menu in the DashBoard, but no widget.

    Am I missing something?

    Peter

  • 225. Peter Lurie  |  October 1st, 2007 at 12:57 am

    Thanks for your tip to upgrade to 2.2 (to align with my WP2.2x)

    The widget appeared as predicted!
    Thanks
    Peter

  • 226. Jeco  |  October 1st, 2007 at 1:29 am

    Thanks for the 2.3 update and for this nice plugin.

    Cheers, Jeco

  • 227. Scott Gamble  |  October 3rd, 2007 at 1:10 pm

    Nice widget. Won’t order though - only separates by alphabetical at present. Check the site link above.

    Thanks mate

  • 228. Scott Gamble  |  October 3rd, 2007 at 1:11 pm

    er - sorry. Running 2.3

  • 229. Daniel H  |  October 5th, 2007 at 8:37 am

    Just upgraded to the newest version, but i’m just getting “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/******/public_html/uni/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 143″

  • 230. Chris  |  October 14th, 2007 at 5:12 pm

    This plugin rules. Thank you so much.

  • 231. mike  |  October 25th, 2007 at 9:33 am

    hello, i installed 2.3 and now i am seeing this-

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /mnt/w0805/d04/s22/b02a4a15/www/howlingearth.com/music-videos/wp-content/plugins/mylinkorder.php on line 234

  • 232. mike  |  October 25th, 2007 at 9:38 am

    note i have removed the php for now so the site can be seen

  • 233. dhani  |  October 27th, 2007 at 1:47 pm

    the link list is ordered, but the categories itself doesn’t.

    have anyone experience this?

  • 234. dhani  |  October 27th, 2007 at 2:02 pm

    sorry… I’m using 2.3.1 right now.

    thanks in advances.

  • 235. Bryan  |  October 28th, 2007 at 11:39 am

    To update this plug-in for 2.3.1 all you need to do is open taxonomy.php and change “catgories” on line 1360 to “categories.” It’s misspelled.

  • 236. Bryan  |  October 28th, 2007 at 11:58 am

    My bad. I mean… on like 1360 replace LEFT JOIN with INNER JOIN. Then it should work.

  • 237. Andrew Charlton  |  October 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    Thanks for the notice on the change to taxonomy.php, the file has been updated in the 2.3 zip.
