Ok, thanks to Mark on the heads up for this problem with the url_title tag in the linklist. I’ve fixed it and made the linklist tag as linklist:url_title so that it will work without issues if used within another tag, especially the weblog entries tag.
You should re-download the linklist module if you are having issues with this (and probably a good idea to redownload it anyways). You only need to update the mod.linklist.php file. Everything else is the same.
As for the problem with all of you with the OPML import, the fix is easy. You can find it on the forums here. Essentially you just need to add the OPML mime type into your system/lib/mimes.php file.
Yoshi, is there one place that I can read all about the LinkList module? Looks interesting but an overview/demo would help me grok it. Thanks!
If you’ve used services like Blogrolling, furl, delicious, or any system that creates a “blogroll”, then that’s what linklist does essentially.
The best thing to do is to just go ahead and install the module. It doesn’t alter your Expression Engine files in any way and is easily removed.
Ok, then how is this different than parsing a feed (such as del.icio.us) with Magpie? Sorry to keep asking obtuse questions, I just feel like I’m missing something.
I guess it’s all in the zipfile; still, it would be nice to see it all in one place online – speaking as a user.
Well, the idea behind linklist is that basically you have one centralized place (your server) that would go out, check if a site is updated, tag it as such without the need for something like blogrolling or bloglines. You wouldn’t need magpie to parse anything.
However in delicious’s case, it’s a bit different. While linklist works similarly to delicious, you lose the ability to interact with the community.
There is a possiblity in the future that linklist would interact with delicious or technorati or tagcloud and would get updated with them, however, right now it’s one of those “wishlist” TODO’s.
It’s ok to ask these things, I created Linklist because people wanted a replacement for blogrolling or bloglines, so they already knew what they wanted.
When it comes to delicious, delicious is a pretty neat system. And I do hope to integrate with it someday.
I think ideally with delicious I’d love to be able to make it so that you can update your delicious tags and retrieve them without leaving your EE control panel. But that is not today.
(i’m sure i’m really off tangent on this reply hehe)
Yeah, I’ve been <a href=”http://del.icio.us/wazungu/”>relying on Del.icio.us</a> quite a lot to sort of track my…tracks online. Now that I’ve “captured” all that info, I do want to represent that on my site.
I wonder if there’s some good usage examples of sites/demo pages that use your plugin to help the less abstractly inclined among us see the possibilities.
well, i use it on my main site, pd-x, you’ll see it in use on the sidebar under current reads, as well as the links page here (and there), also you can try looking at these sites that i know are using it:
lisajill
McGehee
macdigit

Come on, I know there are other folks using the linklist lol (and some ingenius uses too!)
I received an error telling me about assign reference not assign? I’m using PHP v.4.4
Are you running version 1.2? that problem was fixed with that version. if you’re still getting the error, then please let me know what the full error is if possible.
