[Plugin: Taxonomy Widget] Ability to change link titles display only children

Thanks! Glad you like it ??

May I suggest an addition? It would be great if we could specify the link title for each taxonomy. I’m using custom taxonomies with custom post types and when I hover the mouse over a custom taxonomy link, it displays “3 topics” or something like that. Can it be adjusted, so it could display “3 books” for instance?

This should be relatively easy to do. Will put it into the next release for sure.

Another thing to consider would be an option to be able to set the widget to display only children of the current taxonomy (unless it’s a top levbel taxonomy). So when I have a hierarchical taxonomy, first, it would display only the top level taxonomies. Then, when I click on one of them, it would display only the child taxonomies of the current taxonomy.

This is a great suggestion. I have made wp_list_pages() behave similarly via a custom walker class. It may be pretty easy to port the code to the category walker class. I’ll look into it when I get some free time. Not sure if I would build this into the select element. I think it would be a great addition to the lists.

I would also be very excited for the ability to choose to show only the children of a given taxonomy! Thanks so much for the plugin, Michael, and loved your talk at WordCamp Portland.

I’m with @ragulka–I would also be very excited to be able to choose to show only the children of a given taxonomy.

Hi,

I would also really love to be able to only show children of the current taxonomy – is this a planned feature?

Thanks for the plugin!
