List Links Plugin Help

[rj]

I added this plugin and it gives no options so I dont know what it does or where it does it!

I have no links up yet. Was going to do them with a nugget but saw this plugin and added it. What does it do anyway?

Hi!

You mean the linklist plugin? You should see a menu item in your Admin panel to maintain the links. Or have a look at the plugin configuration screen, there you can toggle whether to enter a list of HTML/XML links or whether to use a menu-based input.

Best regards,

*grin* To add to what Garvin said, the linklist plugin does what you think it does (it maintains a list of links).

But, it is a two part plugin, with both a sidebar and an event plugin. The event plugin does not have any configuration options, though, since everything is handled by the sidebar plugin.

Check your sidebar plugins... If you install the sidebar plugin it will install both automatically. But if the sidebar plugin does not exists you may need to install it yourself.

Once you have installed the sidebar plugin you can choose from a whole list of option, but the biggest one will be whether to enter xml directly or whether to use the event plugin for link management. If you choose to use the event plugin (set "Enter XML directly" to "No") you will have a "Manage Links" item in the left hand admin menu.

I installed it and it is present in events plugin as:

Link List
Links manager - Shows your favorite links in the sidebar.
version: 1.8

Link List is grayed out. I see no instance of this anywhere, not in the sidebar, the plugins or the admin page.

Try looking for it in the sidebar plugins as well. (In 1.0.1 go to "Click here to install a new sidebar plugin" at the top of "Configure plugins".)

It sounds like you only have the event plugin installed for some reason.
