Actually the links for more & less are different links. In your CSS you can do:


.morelink a.more {}
.morelink a.less {}


It is a normal toggle but I purposely made them with two distinct classes just for the reason you mentioned. Being able to add different image backgrounds.

FYI - WP Sentry only allows customization of permissions of registered users who are logged in. With WPS, list of post summaries display in category list regardless of WPS privacy setting, but for some reason, post summaries wouldn’t display in tag summary list created by your MCTM tag plugin if a ‘private’ setting had been applied to post in WP Sentry.
Your MCTM tag plugin now creates tag list just like categories list: all post summaries display in list, but only users logged in see full post.

BTW - There is only 1 other bell/whistle that would be nice.
I’m using background-images (plus/minus) as show/hide button with hover function for consitent display in multiple browsers.
See - http://lifegivingspring.info/bibliography

Is there anyway in the php code you can assign a different class other than ‘.morelink’ to link that shows after alphabet tag list expands? Currently the “hide” link is class ‘.morelink’ just like the “show” link is before clicking and expanding the list.

If the class of the ‘toggle’ for the expanded link were class ‘.lesslink’ instead of ‘.morelink’, then I could assign a different button image to it in css ( a ‘minus’ image instead of the ‘plus’ image).

Is there any way to turn this into a true jQuery show/hide function where there is a hide link as well as a show link?

What I showed you in my last reply was a ‘true’ jQuery function. You wanted a different presentation in which you were not specific upon asking.

I’m still not 100% sure how this will work out with the WP Sentry as I don’t use that plug-in but, in theory this should remedy your issue.

@Lincoln,
Good catch. I can say that I never tested this in a way to make what you discovered happen. I will try and make some time in the next few days to change it up to allow less tags than columns.

I appreciate the eye.

Sorry, but not enough tags were found

On about line 79 it should say if( $tags && is_array( $tags ) && count($tags) >= $options['columns'])

And on about line 306 it should say if( $tags && is_array( $tags ) && count($tags) >=$columns)

(or something similar but that is the easiest logic to work out) because if you have say 1 tag then it throws in a extra DIV that does not get closed which messes your template layout. AFAIKS as long as you have at least as many tags as the number of columns you want then you’ll be fine forever. My fix patches the first-day-of-use kind of problems when you first enable the plugin on a new blog site and then panic when the layout has gone all wonky.
Using WP 2.9.1 and latest 2.2. plugin.

2) Am still interested in any code modification that will list tags with posts made private via WP Sentry plugin.

If I add the shortcode like so:

it doesn’t show anything but the alphabet heading and a link “more!”. I am not getting any issue resulting in having to have at least 1 tag shown.

For tags from private posts, I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with private posts enough to think of how to do what you need. I’ve just never needed that functionality. I’ll look into it but I can’t honestly offer a solution any time soon.

For the showing and hiding…

Will give you your ‘more link’ as a plus sign wrapped in square brackets.

In the mctagmap.php change this line (#248):
jQuery(this).parent('li.morelink').remove();

to this:
jQuery(this).text(jQuery(this).text() == '[-]' ? '[+]' : '[-]');

That will make your “more link” toggle the list as well as change from [+] to [-] on click.

*NOTE: back up your mctagmap.php as any upgrade I make to the plugin will over write you changes.

I’m using WP Sentry plugin to make posts private.
AVH Extended Categories plugin lists private posts even though categories only include private posts, but Multi-Column Tag Map plugin will not display tags for private posts.

As long as there is a public post with same tag as private post(s), then private posts will list along with public post.
I’ve created workaround by adding a public post ‘X - End of Posts’ that will only show at end of list of post summaries (by nature of beginning with letter ‘X’), but am interested in knowing if there is some code modification for listing private posts.

Would also still like to be able to click a link beneath each alphabet letter to show tags.
Then be able to click button to hide them again (such as “+” and ‘-’ links)

Is there any way to modify code to show all tag entries even though there aren’t any posts tagged with them yet?

Also, cannot set tag entry display to ‘0′; lowest setting that works is ‘1′. Alphabetical tag listings with more than 1 entry then show ‘+’ link for expanding list to all tag entries.

Is there code modification for just showing alphabet letters with ‘+’ link and no tag entries, that when clicked, expands for viewing all entries in alphabet list?
