Implementing JS Toggle Boxes for the widgets widget works plugins

Note: In the code above, I have inserted some spaces inside the UL and LI tags, so that they would display as plain code.

Solved. The following code works:

Edited widget_links function in widgets.php version 1.0.20060711

Tested on WordPress 2.0.7

function widget_links($args) {
extract($args);
global $wpdb;
?>

<?php
echo “$before_widget”;
echo “< ul >”;

// Loop through all link categories
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {

// Set current link category id
$cat_id = $link_cat->cat_id;

// Create a new

• element in the list of link categories.
  echo ‘< li id=”linkcat-‘.$cat_id.'”>’;

// This new list element begins with a title
echo $before_title;
echo ”.$link_cat->cat_name.’ ‘;

// and the expand/collapse link
echo function_exists(‘JSTB_box_toggle’)? JSTB_box_toggle(‘[+/-]’, ‘toggle’, ‘Click to toggle’, ‘cookie_link_’.$cat_id, ‘toggle_link_’.$cat_id) :”;
echo $after_title;

// followed by a list of links
echo ‘< ul id=”toggle_link_’.$cat_id.'” class=”JSTB_shown”>’;
wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id);
echo “< /ul >”;

// Initialize
echo function_exists(‘JSTB_box_init’)? JSTB_box_init(‘cookie_link_’.$cat_id, ‘JSTB_shown’, ‘toggle_link_’.$cat_id) :”;
// and this particular category of links is done
echo “< /li >”;

// Next round in loop begins
}

// All link categories done.
echo “< /ul >”;
echo “$after_widget”;
?>

<?php
}

In the code above, extra spaces have been applied around UL and LI elements so that they would be visible in this post.

There is an extra line feed in the middle of the code, because I forgot to “disable” one < LI > element in the middle of a comment line.

Problem solved.

Next time post code
as text (.txt) on your site or
at https://wordpress.pastebin.ca

Thanks. I will do that. I don’t have a site of my own, so that pastebin will be usefull. I’ll use it next time.

Also, next time, don’t edit the widgets plugin. Just create a new widget of your own, with a different name, in a different plugin. Then you can distribute the plugin more easily.
