   hey everyone - I have an interesting project... an easy one, i think: setting an expiration date on a Blogroll link. I've checked all the management plugins and don't see this feature for links.

   The way I figure, you could use the Link "Notes" entry to record an expiration date and then modify wp_list_bookmarks to run a date check loop against it.

   Anyone with any helpful code or a plugin I've missed? I can find the expiration code, but I don't see where the core wp_list_bookmarks function is located for me to hack on....

   Thanks in advance

   Using http://wingrep.com found wp_list_bookmarks function in wp-includes/bookmark-template.php

   hi all!
   regarding the method from jclayc (using link_notes field to save the expired date of link), i just add this code in line 65 of wp-includes/bookmark-template.php file :

   before :
   

   foreach ( (array) $bookmarks as $bookmark ) {
   		if ( !isset($bookmark->recently_updated) )

   after :
   

   foreach ( (array) $bookmarks as $bookmark ) {
                   // this is additional line :
                   if ($bookmark->link_notes<>'' && $bookmark->link_notes < date("Y-m-d")) continue;
   		if ( !isset($bookmark->recently_updated) )

   in this case i used this date format : YYYY-MM-DD.

   cmiiw.
