I feel totally in the dark here, hope someone can point me in the
right direction. While testing I notice some changes that break things
(like no more linkcategories table breaking themes). Before I do
anything else I try looking for existing information about these
changes and I'm having trouble finding them.
The removal of linkcategories from default creation is noted in Trac,
but I don't see any information about what should be used in it's
place, what changes do I need to make to my theme(s) to make links.php
work?
Is the only source for this info Trac and/or what happens to be
remarked in wp-hackers/wp-testers?
API should be used, not direct SQL queries. In 2.1, wp_list_bookmarks()
should be used. If it doesn't do something that is wanted, let us know.
Some themes seem to be re-implementing get_links_list(), for whatever
reason. They are using SQL like this to get link cats:
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM
$wpdb->linkcategories");
This can be done in 2.1 like so:
$link_cats = get_categories("type=link");
Of course just using the higher level API like
wp_list_bookmarks()/get_links_list() is easier.
