See complete blogroll<\/a><\/p>\n\nIf your blogroll is not set to be categorized, or if there is only one category,\nit will return the whole thing untouched.<\/p>\n\n
Advanced<\/h3>\n\nShowing multiple categories<\/h3>\n\n
If you want multiple categories returned, you can send the function that number.\nFor example:\n \nwill return 5 randomized categories. If you only have 4 categories, it will\nreturn all of them in a random order.<\/p>\n\n
Retaining arguments sent to wp_list_bookmarks<\/h3>\n\n
If you're sending arguments to wp_list_bookmarks, you can send those to\nblogroll_random_category and it will pass them along to wp_list bookmarks. In\nthis example, we're showing all categories except #23:\n <\/p>\n\n
The change below will show five random categories, none of which will be #23. If\nyou only have four categories, this will return the three that are not #23:\n <\/p>\n\n
To show one category all the time and the rest randomize the rest<\/h3>\n\n
In the sidebar you can explicitly call that category. When only one category is\nselected, this plugin knows to return it as it is. Any subsequent calls to\nblogroll_random_category ought to be instructed to exclude it in order to avoid\nthe possibility that it happens to be randomly selected:<\/p>\n\n
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('category=23'); ?>\n<?php blogroll_random_category(5, 'exclude_category=23'); ?><h3>1.0<\/h3>* The first version.<h3>1.5<\/h3>* Whereas this plugin previously altered the behavior of wp_list_bookmarks in a\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nway that made it impossible to see the whole blogroll. Now it uses a separate\n function call so that in some instances you can see random categories, but in\n others you can see the whole blogroll.\n* Now possible to return multiple random categories without separate function\n calls, thus eliminiating the possibility that two of the random categories\n will be the same.<\/p>\n\n
1.5.1<\/h3>\n\n\n- The leading closing li tag was not actually getting trimmed off due to \nbad copying and pasting. That has been resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
A personal request<\/h3>\n\n
If you use\/enjoy this plugin, I'd love to hear from you. You're under no\nobligation, but I'd enjoy knowing that somebody out there is enjoying my work.\nPromptly returning e-mail is not my strong suit, so you may never get the\ncourtesy of a reply, but you can rest assured that I appreciated your effort.<\/p>\n\n
