i'm not a javascript guy, so i can only guess at the stuff. it seems to be hooking onto the <dl><dt><dd> structure.

so you'd need to dig into the widget and make the links <dt>'s, and the descriptions <dd>'s. then you could omit descriptions for the ones you don't want to expand. i think. i'm just guessing.

I'm trying to use the DHTML Widget : Accordion Menu 2.0 (http://www.hedgerwow.com/36...
and want the buttons to be links and also want some buttons to not expand. Are there any suggestions? I thought an option might be to redirect (for the link issue) but I'm not sure how to make it work. Any suggestions?
tx. :shock:

fair enough, i've got plenty of digging to do. although given my mounting list of todo items, i doubt i'll be revisiting this before 2.1 breaks it.

_a_ link-related widget is definately not for naught. _mine_ was for naught.

a good signpost to point widget-writers in the direction of core development would be a 'Deprecated" tag on the codex page this came from. or perhaps clearing things out of the codex that don't meet wordpress coding standards.

You can use common API (it exists) or check for newer API functions and fork your code accordingly. That's really all I can offer for help. It's not all for naught to write a link-related plugin. It's just a good idea to keep up with core development.

aw, shucks.
widgets aren't too bad, they're just a little tiny piece of a theme (at least this one was). they're not whole apps, they're just a little extra function. and i still can't make the admin panel work. (PHP fast and easy is letting me down).
although as andy points out, it's all for naught.

You know, I don't think I'd ever release a plugin. Not ever. Maybe on my next life, but not now. I can make original designs, but NEVER original apps! Since you say that you're mainly a designer than a programmer, I salute you. I know how hard that is to do when you're a designer not a coder. I've been doing web DESIGN for years, but the most "coding" I've done is HTML and CSS, and modifications / skinning / theming existing php apps. But I can't make an app from scratch :(

Hey there! Nice work on this plugin/widget code. However, it won't work on future versions of WordPress because you've queried a table that will no longer be available. Links are tricky business these days... :-)
