Order Bookmarks Widget
Here’s another simple Wordpress widget that I’ve thrown together. It allows you to set a limit to the number of blogroll entries displayed, sort them by all valid sort fields and apply a sort order. It is essentially just a quick way to get at a few of the wp_list_bookmarks() function.
I tried to install this under Hebrew wordpress, and an unseemly error message showed up at the beginning of the widget.
The culprit is the call to the gettext function in the begining of wp_bookmarks_order:
‘title_li’ => __(”),
Removing that (so it reads ‘title_li’ => ”) fixes the bug.
OK, another bug - most of the form options have the value of “rand” instead of the value their text specifies (and which you use to set their selected value).
I need to rewrite the whole thing. Setup/configuration should be performed under a “configure” window more like the Google AJAX search plugin as the settings are easily lost using the current method.
I’ve uploaded an updated version of the widget which should address the issues you were seeing. Let me know if it works for you.
