   Hi all

   I want to get a list of all bookmark categories (i. e. category IDs) - similar to what is possible with "get_categories" for the post categories. Also, I need the corresponding name for each category ID.

   Reason is, I want to build a drop-down field to select bookmarks by category.

   I tried wp_list_categories('echo=0'), but this does not seem to return an array or something... and then I tried get_bookmarks - but I couldn't figure out how the array is built.... can someone help me, I am pretty sure that I am quite near to the solution...

   Try this:
   

   <?php
     $taxonomy = 'link_category';
     $title = 'Link Category: ';
     $args ='';
     $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
     if ($terms) {
       foreach($terms as $term) {
         if ($term->count > 0) {
           echo '<p>' . $title .' ID = '. $term->term_id . ' ' . $term->name . ' contains ' . $term->count . ' link(s). </p> ';
         }
       }
     }
   ?>

   Thanks - I solved this with other means, meantime, as the drop-down is not necessary any more. I set this to solved, in order for others to serve as reference. :)

   I cut this down to

   <?php
   $taxonomy = 'link_category';
   $title = 'Link Category: ';
   $args ='';
   $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
   if ($terms) {
   foreach($terms as $term) {
   if ($term->count > 0) {
   echo '<p>' . $term->name . ' </p> ';
   }
   }
   }
   ?>

   just to list the link categories. It is possible to make them clickable so you can go to a page showing that category's links?
