Plugins

In the couple of years I’ve been using WordPress I’ve built a couple of plugins for my own use. As I tidy them up I’ll be making them available to the world at large. This page serves as a hub for download links and information about them.

Show/Hide Links

This plugin generates a list of all links, listed by category, and outputs it as a series of unordered lists with Javascript-based Show/Hide functionality. Also adds a class of “offsite” to each link to cause them to open in a new window.

You can see this plugin in action on my Links page.

There are 2 versions currently available.

Download Show/Hide Links v.2.0 - for WordPress 1.5 - 2.0.x
Download Show/Hide Links v.3.0 - for WordPress 2.1+

Installation

Unzip the downloaded file and then upload the folder to your WordPress Plugins directory.
Activate in the Plugins control panel

Usage

In your template (links.php or wherever you want your links to appear), simply use the function showhide_links_list().
