  Hi Guys,

  I bought a review theme and there`s a review categories widget for the sidebar, it works well but I have a list of over 350 review categories and when in the sidebar takes lots of space on the frontpage.

  I was wondering, hoping that someone here could look at the code and show how it can be changed as a dropdown menu for the sidebar.

  The review sidebar widget code is below:

  <?php

  add_action(“widgets_init”, “proreview_review_cat_init”);
  function proreview_review_cat_init()
  {
  register_widget( ‘proreview_review_cat_Widget’ );

  }/*
  function example_load_widgets() {
  register_widget( ‘Example_Widget’ );
  }
  */

  class proreview_review_cat_Widget extends WP_Widget {

  function proreview_review_cat_Widget() {
  /* Widget settings. */
  $widget_ops = array( ‘classname’ => ‘review_cat’, ‘description’ => __(‘Displays review categories in sidebar’, ‘review_cat’) );

  /* Widget control settings. */
  $control_ops = array( ‘width’ => 200, ‘height’ => 350, ‘id_base’ => ‘review_cat-widget’ );

  /* Create the widget. */
  $this->WP_Widget( ‘review_cat-widget’, __(‘ProReview : Review Categories’, ‘review_cat’), $widget_ops, $control_ops );
  }

  function widget( $args, $instance ) {
  extract( $args );

  /* Our variables from the widget settings. */
  $title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, $instance[‘title’] );
  $widget_content= $instance[‘add_text’];
  if( $show_on_home == “yes” ) if( !is_home() && !is_front_page() ) return;
  if( $border_flag == “yes” )
  echo str_replace(“widget_area_side”, “widget_area_side no-border “, $before_widget );
  else
  echo $before_widget;
  ?>
  <div class=”review_cat”>
  <?php
  if ( $title )
  echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
  proreview_review_cat($widget_content);

  echo $after_widget; ?> </div> <?php
  }

  function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
  $instance = $old_instance;

  $instance[‘title’] = strip_tags( $new_instance[‘title’] );

  $instance[‘add_text’] = $new_instance[‘add_text’];
  return $instance;
  }

  /**
  * Displays the widget settings controls on the widget panel.
  * Make use of the get_field_id() and get_field_name() function
  * when creating your form elements. This handles the confusing stuff.
  */
  function form( $instance ) {

  /* Set up some default widget settings. */
  $defaults = array( ‘title’ => __(‘Review Categories’, ‘s_add’),’det’ => ‘Some information s_add our website’ );
  $instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults ); ?>

  <!– Widget Title: Text Input –>
  <p>
  <label for=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘title’ ); ?>”><?php _e(‘Title:’, ‘hybrid’); ?></label>
  <input id=”<?php echo $this->get_field_id( ‘title’ ); ?>” name=”<?php echo $this->get_field_name( ‘title’ ); ?>” value=”<?php echo $instance[‘title’]; ?>” style=”width:100%;” />
  </p>

  <?php
  }
  }
  function proreview_review_cat( $add_text ){
  ?>

  <?php $of_terms_obj = get_terms(‘review-cats’); foreach ($of_terms_obj as $of_term) { ?>
  • “><?php echo $of_term->name; ?>

  <?php //$of_terms[$of_term->term_taxonomy_id] = $of_term->name; } ?>
  <?php } } ?>
