With this extension you can show links in various layouts, Show all categories in one page, or specify which ones to show, display if a link is new, show the description as a tool-tip or below the links, Display the category description below the link, Hide the category title.
The extension comes in 2 flavours:
1. A plug-in
2. A module
With the PLUGIN and MODULE you should still use the weblinks component to manage your weblinks.
You can choose to use either one or both extensions
1.: Plugin[Development by my]:
You should use the plugin if you want to show weblinks in the content position.
The plugin V3 can also show the links in Tabs or Slider layout
2.: Module[further development by Carsten Schneider]:
You should use the module if you want to show weblinks in a module position.
The module can also collapse categories

I've just installed the module on Joomla 1.7. It's excellent, but some of my links have descriptions and Joomla's Weblinks module saves the descriptions with HTML tags - like this description text. I can't find any way to stop it from doing that - maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.
The tags appear in the little popup description too and it looks rather untidy. Is it possible to get rid of the tags, please?
Thanks for a great extension.

Please Use the forum for bug-reports.
But the Hit counter is repaired in both the module and the plugin.
Recently upgraded from 1.5 to 1.7 and the Weblinks are awful on 1.7. After some searching and testing I came across this Plugin and WOW! So easy to install, use and configure. It has various layouts, the tabs is great and easy to adjust the styling via its own css file. Cannot rate this high enough - well done to the developer.
This extensions is pratically the only one dedicted to the weblink management than workis with joomla 1.7 and is not commercial. The default Joomla component is so poor to be considered pratically useless cause most users need a better way to show their multiple links divided into categories anche put on the screen with different layout. this is what this extension do. But the best thing concerning this extension is the quick support by the author. In fact I found 2 problems that were fixed in 2 days.
Great module and plugin that extend the very limiting category selection of the standard (one or all) by allowing to select through including or excluding exactly the categories you want to display. You can have different modules with specific link icons. And you can highlight newly published links for a specific number of days. Very good job, have been waiting a long time for this upgrade to Joomla version 1.7.
I really appreciate your time and effort to product a great extension. The default thing that comes with joomla is pure certified junk. I have used your extension on many web sites now.
I am moving many of my web site over to Joomla 1.6 and can't wait for the update to use your extension on my updated sites.
May you be richly rewarded in Heaven!

Thanks for waiting.
The BETA for JOOMLA! 1.6 and 1.7 is now downloadable
Really, this was exactly what I needed, multiple modules across the page handling various categories. Just exceptionally well done. Thank you!
Only (slight) bug I noticed is that when adding a module style (eg style-box) to the joomla module the classes on the page pick up and append the style to the classes provided by the module. It's not a big deal, it just means going into the modules css and changing the classes to match. It may be my template uniquely causing this behavior or a minor bug. I though posting this might help people having issues with their template's styles.

I've been using this to display a huga database of links on my windsurfing website for some time now. The default joomla component was just not up to the task giving a rather clunky layout IMO. This component fits the bill perfectly and the integration is superb. I really hope development of this can continue into Joomla 1.6 as I would be lost without it.

I am currently busy in moving the plugin to 1.6
It's already installable there... BUT DOES NOT YET work there...
The tables has changed so i have some work left to do
But it's comming
This plugin was just what I needed. Simple installation and configuration.
There was a little issue with opening links in a new window but after a simple mail to the developer he solved this immidiatly.
Nice work!

Thank you for this excellent module. I found it very straight forward to add and set up.
A couple of requests might be to add CSS configuration parameters in the module config to allow for easier access of customizations.
Also support of website thumbnails would be a great addition.
Great work!

I was looking for a better way to display the links and this extension works pretty well. I tried the plug-in but had better luck with the module using the {loadposition xxx} within an article. There are some documentation differences for the same thing between the module and the plug in. For example,
Plug-in documentation {all_weblinks show_description=[0]} is supposed to show the link description but on the demo website it shows {all_weblinks display_description=[1]} to show the description. It's confusing.
I do like the fact that you only have to manage the links in Joomla and this does a great job of displaying them. It would be helpful if there was a way to create a header line to distinguish between the (hits) and the number of links in each category.
I wish the ###Debug### line was able to be turned off in the plug-in. Keep up the good work.

Easy to install, easy to configure and it does exactly what it should - display links in a module position with a lot of options to adjust the display.
My reason for not adding the last star:
The css file contains a placement for the links of -2.8em and this places the links far to the left of the module edge.
This line should either be removed or adjusted a lot as it is impossible for the plugin devs to know what configuration a user might have in a template. Better use a relative calculation that takes into account the with of the module and make sure it never goes outside the module borders.

As far as i can see there is no links placement of -2.8 em in the all_weblinks.css i include
All is done in px and %
But the CSS can be made better...

This is such a great extension as it allows you to insert different categories of web links into articles which makes for a really nice presentation. Works as advertised and easy customization with CSS. Great job and thank you.
I used this to put the weblinks in an article and then linked to that article from the menu (to replace standard joomla weblinks).
At first I couldn't get the descriptions to show but the answer was in the support forum (use display rather than show for the description tag).
The css layout didn't match my template but was pretty easy to amend through a little trial and error in the css sheet.
Still the best weblinks extension I've found - and I've tried all the non-commercial ones now.
