This brief snippet will cause the link_updated field to be blank, and thus suppressed by the [optional ...||...] code, if it contains the default of '0000-00-00 00:00:00' -- add the lines marked by + (after line 107, the first one shown):
$linkinfo['link_updated'] = $bm->link_updated;
+ if (preg_match('#^[\-0 :]*$#', $linkinfo['link_updated'])) {
+ $linkinfo['link_updated'] = '';
+ }
$linkinfo['link_rel'] = $bm->link_rel;The above is particularly useful with "Andy's Link Last Edited Meta Box" as described at http://fleacircusdir.livejournal.com/5498.html ... which updates WordPress's link_updated field whenever a link is created or modified. (WP allegedly reserves that field for some other sort of magic which never seems to happen. We might as well use it!)
