    Hello Yannick,

    before starting and try the Link Library, I do have a question, please.

    Is it possible to get a random link out of the entire library and/or even a specific library category?

    I like to create a blog ring and want a web part that will show one or three random blogs out of the link library.

    Many thanks for letting me know.

    Cheers
    Yogie

    I think I did find already the answer….

    [link-library maxlinksoverride=1 linkorderoverride=”random” categorylistoverride=”28″]

    And I found out, rather than using all these overrides at a shortcode, I can simply reference a setting having all these parameters predefined and just call that setting

    [link-library settings=”2″] 

    But how do I create a new setting for the same library? I cannot find a button to add a new set of settings for an existing library. When I increase the number of libraries, I do have more setting pages, but I bet the new setting is then just for the new library.
    The naming of the options/features is very confusing, or we can’t have multiple (different) settings per library? You call libraries and settings but at the end I cannot assign a link to a specific library?

    Links all live in one “bucket” of links. The different libraries / settings are different configurations that are made to display some of all of the links from the general bucket. So when you use the settings parameters on the shortcode, you are selecting a configuration / library.

    Does that help understand?
