Drop-down menu for my link categories/blogrolls
-
I have two lists of links (so far) on my blog Liberty Street, under the category headings Blogtopia and Research, respectively. I just started the Research link category so it’s not very long yet, but the Blogtopia category of links is extremely long. Is there any way to have a list of links in a drop-down menu format?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

For links/blogroll, there is no drop-down list option. You can have a scrolling box in a text widget, so you could create links widgets manually for each link category using text widgets with the scrolling box. I’ve never gotten the drop-down code to work in text widgets.

In this other forum thread, panaghiotisadam gave a modified version of my original code that is quite slick for scrolling boxes in text widgets. It spaces things more nicely than mine did.

Thanks, tsp. It sounds like way too much work for lazy me, but I thank you for your quick and thorough reply (as per usual).

You’re welcome. One thing I forgot is that “the journalist” v 1.9 has a “links” page template so you might try playing around with that and see if that will work for you instead of using the links widget.

Create a new page (perhaps named links?), and then in the “atrributes” section there is a pulldown where you can choose a “links” page template for that page. It will then list all you links on that page once you publish it. Do not put anything in the body of the page (text area).

Okay, that worked, except that now I have my links in two places: that separate page, and still on the main page of my blog — which kind of defeats the purpose, obviously. Is there a way to keep the links from appearing on the main page without deleting them, and have them still appear on that separate page? On “Edit Links,” I did see a column on the right that said “Visible,” but I didn’t see any way to change that to “Invisible.”

Just remove the links widget from the sidebar at appearances > widgets: click the edit button on the widget then click “remove” then click “save changes.”
