Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Built for the sole purpose of displaying WordPress Bookmark Links that show both text and any attached icons. 7 + up ), it is possible to display them as either a list of text links or a list of icon links but not both at the same time.

Enter PictureBook, a small plugin that provides the necessary code to list your Bookmarks with both text and icons. An example use case might be in the footer of a website that contains social bookmarking links, each link could show the name of the social media website and a small icon next to it just by entering your information into the WordPress ‘Links’ tab.

Achieving this goal is possible with a little core manipulation but we thought it would be more productive to simply install a plugin and not worry about the next WordPress update.

The plugin code itself is just a re-functioning the current ‘wp_list_bookmarks’. By altering the ‘link_image’ output to display the ‘link_name’, its possible to achieve the desired effect. The biggest benefit of this plugin is that a User is allowed to display their Bookmarks in three separate formats: text-only, image-only and a combination of both.

5 the ‘Links’ manager has been deprecated and removed from the Dashboard. If you currently have links this option will still be available. If not, we recommend the ‘Link Manager’ plugin from WordPress which is required to run PictureBook.

In the example (see the Installation tab), we are using the standard WordPress ‘wp_list_bookmarks’ formatting with a new function name ‘wp_list_picturebook’. All parameters associated with the original tag are functional. The code shown here will display a list of Bookmarks with both text and images, no headline, and only list those Bookmarks from ‘Category 4’.

WordPress auto adds our line item tags and therefore they do not need to be included.
