Output: any kind of link. Especially useful when it comes to links used to sort a table, due to the simplified syntax and loss of cumbersome if clauses. Also useful if the you want to display an icon as link since smartlink takes biticon parameters

Parameters

ititle	words that are displayed	required
ianchor	set the anchor where the link should point to	optional
isort	name of the sort column without the orientation (e.g.: title)	optional
isort_mode	this can be used to manually pass the sort mode to smartlink. overrides the value given in $_REQUEST['sort_mode']], which is the default	optional
iorder	if set to asc or desc, it sets the default sorting order of this particular column. 'asc' is default	optional
idefault	if set, it will highlight this link if no $isort_mode is given. this should only be set once per sorting group since it represents the default sorting column	optional
itype	can be set to 'url', which will output only the url, or 'li', which will output <li><a ... ></li>	optional
ionclick	pass in any actions that should occur onclick	optional
ibiticon	if you want to display an icon instead of text use ibiticon. format is: '/[/iexplain]]' e.g.: 'liberty/edit'. This will be resolved by biticon, so you might want to know about that function as well.	optional
iurl	pass in a full url	optional
ifile	set the file where the link should point (default is the current file)	optional
ipackage	set the package the link should point to (default is the current package)	optional
ihash	you can pass in all the above as an array called ihash or secondary * items common to all links	optional
*	anything else that gets added to the pile of items is appended using &$key=$val	optional

Sample

This sample creates a simple link with sorting functionality:

This sample also takes care of the current position within the list (offset):

setting iorder and idefault here, makes this link sort in a descending order by default (iorder) and it is highlighted when $isort_mode ( or $_REQUESTsort_mode>'sort_mode' ) is not set (idefault)
