Show some Blogroll links on home page only in WP?

Is there a plugin for this or a fix if you want to show certain blogroll links on the home page only?

thanks

 

I've not come across any but check out http://wp-plugins.net/

I would just hard code some conditional code into sidebar.php rather than looking for a plugin.

I believe this should work on 1.5+

sidebar.php

Replace:

<?php get_links_list(); ?>

Code (markup):

With:

<?php if(is_home()){ get_links_list(); } ?>

Code (markup):

 

I am not much of a coder, could you please explain the code you mentioned a little more? Where would the links go and could I have some showing on the home page only and some showing site-wide?

thanks

 

Is your blog hosted by Wordpress? If so then I don't believe you would have access to sidebar.php from within your theme folder.

<?php [COLOR="SeaGreen"]if(is_home()){[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]get_links_list();[/COLOR] [COLOR="SeaGreen"]}[/COLOR] ?>

Code (markup):

The green part of the code checks to see if you are on the homepage. If so the red code used to display the blogroll is executed. is_home() is a built in Wordpress function.

Adding a blogroll unique to each category or page is possible but it would take quite a bit more work. I have a few ideas which I will test before showing the code. I think I may code a plugin for this.

 

you say some links...do you mean your total links only on the homepage or fi 10 out of 29 on the homepage and on the others al links

 

sorry hit post to early.
If you want to display only a part of your links on the homepage what you can do is make 2 groups in the linkmanager. First grou place it in category 1 and the others in category 2 next place the folowing code on your sidebar
<?php if(is_home()) { ?>
<div class="sidebox">
<ul>
<?php get_links_list(1);
</ul>
</div>
<?php }else{ ?>
<div class="sidebox">
<ul>
<?php
get_links_list(2);
}
?>

 

So I can do it by creating 2 different categories, do I have to put a category name or something in the code you provided to make it work?

 

You may also try this condition to display only on the homepage.

if ( (is_home()) && !(is_page()) && !(is_single()) && !(is_search()) && !(is_archive()) && !(is_author()) && !(is_category())  )

PHP:

 

Seeing there are some wordpress coders here I was wondering if any of you know how to get this? The older version of WP allowed you to choose how many posts on the front page or how many days on the front page. The new versions only allow how many posts.

Any help here will be appreciated.

Why would you want to display a # of days rather than a # of posts? I always thought it was annoying when you don't post for a week or two and suddenly you have no content on the homepage.

I guess this could be used as a motivational tool to make sure you keep pumping out content. Other than that its not very practical.

 

It´s either the category name or the id

that page will soon be your friend

some great information there to help you.

 

Can be done I think...the get links tag is able to get besides the links also the timestamp, ratings etc etc. It also has a parameter for echo.

<?php get_links(category, 'before', 'after',
'between', show_images, 'order', 
show_description,show_rating, limit, 
show_updated, echo); ?> 

PHP:

so if you put echo at 0 it wil not display it but retrn a array. That array you can modify and display after your function. My guess is that you can get the value of show updated to do what you want.
Have´t tried it but it should point you in a direction that might work.
