get links : Can I also show 'Short description' text out of title? (12 posts)

    Hi there,

    I have designed a page for my links. Now I use get links in my side bar but for the main page I would really like to show my 'Short description' text on the page.

    For example:

    Link Cat: Something here
    The Link
    The link short dexcription

    This is all I have at present: '<?php get_links_list(); ?>'

    Can this be done?

    Thanks
    Karl

    This is what I currently have:
    '<?php get_links('-1', '

  3. ', '
    4. ', '
    ', FALSE, 'id', TRUE, TRUE, -1, TRUE); ?>'

    but I need to show:
    category first in h3 tag
    Link name in li tag
    short description in p tag

    What do I need to do please?

    Thanks
    Karl

    You might try the wp get links tag. Heads up in the Codex

    Well you have been given the pointer you need. What else do you want?

    Well I am not a PHP guy and am totally confused as you can see, it's nearly 24 hours later and still I am stuck on this.

    In the old days I used to get a lot of assistance but the community has changed since wp started.

    All I wanted to show was my links in a certain way, for example:
    '<h3>Link Category</h3>'
    '

      '
      '
    • The actual Link name'
      '
    • The link description
      • '
      '
    • Date link Posted
      • '
      '
    '

    and I have no idea how to do this :(

    Thanks for you time.

    li here - The actual Link name
    li here - The link description
    li here - Date link Posted
