What gets passed to Links::Link::HTML::display()?

I'm trying to display a bunch of links in the admin view. I have their ids, and I can fetch the record in to a hash, but when I try to run the hash in to Links::Link::HTML::display() I get an unblessed reference error. Any thoughts?

Here's the code I'm running...(within a larger sub)

Code:
foreach my $id (@ids) { 
       		my $rec = $linkdb->get ($id); 
		       $results .= Links::Link::HTML::display ( { mode => 'search_results', values => $rec });  
        }

Here's the error:

Code:

Can't call method "_plg_display" on unblessed reference at /var/www/clients.kbpwest.com/cisco/content_dev/admin/Links/Link.pm line 413. 

Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

Why not use Links::SiteHTML?

Code:
$results .= Links::SiteHTML::display('template', $rec);

Andy,

That fixed it. Thanks.

Still curious to know how to get it working for Links::Link::HTML. Or at least why I'm getting the unblessed reference error.

Much thanks again!

Glad to hear it. I've always used Links::SiteHTML::display(), so I'm afraid I don't know why you are getting that error.

Oh actually,

One last question seeing as I have you here (hopefully) and seeing as you are such a plugin expert.

When you create a plugin, and you add a link to the admin control panel, the link by default comes up in the plugins panel (on the left side).

Is there any easy way to customize which panel I can put that link into? Say I wanted the link to appear under database view for example?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: [Swaylock] What gets passed to Links::Link::HTML::display()? In reply to

I'm not sure. AFAIK its done by the order that you set them up, i.e if you have the following setup in Install.pm;

test
foo
bar

... then on the left, it would show up as;

Plugin_Name
test
foo
bar

I'm only guessing about this though, as I've never really bothered to look into it :)

Andy,

I think I phrased my question incorrectly. Without major hacking, can you get the custom plugin link to apprear in a NON-plugin control panel? Specifically I'd like the link to apear in Database > Tools.

Thanks again for all your help,
Mike

Re: [Swaylock] What gets passed to Links::Link::HTML::display()? In reply to

Ah, in that case, I doubt you would be able to do it without editing the admin templates, and linking to the plugins area (for your particular plugin), with something like;

admin.cgi?do=plugin&plugin=Plugin_Name&func=My_Function
