List Manager (wp_lists) API Assistance

    I’ve got this awesome plugin working just fine for list inclusion within posts. It really is a wonderful addition to my blog.

    However (you knew it was coming, yes?), I haven’t the slightest idea how to get a list to show up in my sidebar. (I’m running Kubrik at present.)

    I know that Navid graciously gave the APIs on his website, but I don’t know how to incorporate them/call them/etc.

    Would someone please lead me by the hand or show me where to find more help?

    Thanks,

    Maribun

    If it’s Kubrick+WordPress 1.2.x, look in index.php for the section that says:

    <? // Begin Sidebar Menu ?>
    ...
    <div id="sidebar">

    Put it where you want it to appear in this section.

    Thanks Kafkaesqui, but it’s not quite that simple. 🙂

    I’m running WordPress 1.5, as the List Manager doesn’t work in 1.2.

    I know how to edit the CSS, sidebar, and the other php calls. I am able to follow all that. The trouble is that in my sidebar.php, I can’t appear to just use the

    <list id=”#” />

    You have to integrate in the API’s that Navid provided, but I’ve never worked with them before. I’ve looked through the forums, dev wikki, and user’s manual with no luck.

    The API’s are at http://www.navidazimi.com/projects/wp-lists/ :

    wplists_print_by_id(
    $list_id,
    $before = ”

    • “,
      $after = “

      • “,
      $showlinks = true,
      $showchecked = true,
      $echo = true
      );
      wplists_return_list_by_id( $list_id );
      wplists_get_lists(
      $before = ”

    • “,
      $after = “

      • “,
      $linkurl = true );

      Does anyone know which to use, where they go, and can you give me a general explanation so that I can understand why the answers are what they are?

      Thank you.

    In the future please discuss anything to do with beta releases in the beta forum. Thanks.

    Moving the discussion over to the beta board, as per NuclearMoose’s request.

    Sorry.
