New template function: wp_list_bookmarks()

[ryan]

wp_list_bookmarks() will replace get_links_list() and get_links(). By default, it should create a list of all bookmarks organized by category. We want to avoid the mistake of hard coding h2s and other formatting, so there should be options for specifying any formatting that should come before and after each category heading. wp_list_bookmarks() should also allow creating a big list of uncategorized bookmarks as well as listing bookmarks in a specific category or set of categories. A stub for wp_list_bookmarks() exists in template-functions-bookmarks.php along with some implementation notes. wp_list_bookmarks() should use get_bookmarks() for querying the DB.

Question on this requirement--"as well as listing bookmarks in a specific category or set of categories".

If it's a 'set of categories' does that imply allowing something like 'category=1,4,7,9'? If yes, should get_bookmarks() be changed to handle that?

[ryan]

Yes and yes.

Quite a bit of the support code for this seems in good shape.

I'm working on finishing off coding wp_list_bookmarks against the requirements spec.
I'll upload a patch when I've got a bit more finished.

Implement the rest of wp_list_bookmarks

Attached patch implements the rest of wp_list_bookmarks I believe

westi, ryan, is there still more to do for this bug? Or should it be closed?

Replying to foolswisdom:

I don't think this is complete yet.

I think we now need to move the deprecated functions to deprecated.php and implement them as calls to the new function.

I guess that is why ryan left the ticket open?

[ryan]

Actually, this is done.
