splitting a bookmarks list?

    Hello,

    I have a internal WPMU installation which has about 30 or so “sites” currently, but will have 120 or so eventually. Right now I am organizing them on the “homepage” using links, and link categories, but that list is getting long, and will get longer.

    So I’ve been reading through the posts here, and can’t quite find a solution to what I need to do.

    Basically, I would like to add a range to the wp_lists_bookmarks call to split the list into 2 columns, something like:

    wp_list_bookmarks(‘categorize=1&title_li=&exclude_category=1-10’);

    and the next would be:

    wp_list_bookmarks(‘categorize=1&title_li=&exclude_category=10-20’);

    or something like that.

    I’ve also tried using:

    wp_list_bookmarks(‘categorize=1&title_li=&exclude_category=CCO sites’);

    To exclude specific categories manually, but it doesn’t appear to be working. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

    Any ideas?

    ok, I found part of the problem.. since it’s a WPMU install, my link categories are in the hundreds, not in the single digits, so they are id’s like 605, 456, etc.

    So I can get the exclude to work, but I have to go back to the source and look for the id to add to a list.

    Is there anyway, since there isn’t a heiarchy for link categories to split the list into 2 automatically? The various scripted methods I’ve seen seem to work with post lists, but not bookmark lists.

    Since the sorting the categories by ID is a manual task, is there any way of dividing the categories alphabetically? A-J in one set, and L-Z in the other?
