<p>This is a very simple plugin that uses Javascript to form a collapsable set of<br />
links in the sidebar for the links (blogroll). Every link corresponding to a<br />
given link category will be expanded.</p>
<p>You can use multiple instances of the widget, each with its own set of options. In this way you could have one set of links for certain categories one place on your page, and another widget with a different set of links somewhere else.</p>
<p>It is based off of the Collapsing Categories and Collapsing Pages plugins.</p>

instead of using a widget, you can use the following options. These options<br />
can be given to the <code>collapsLink()</code> function either as an array or in query<br />
style, in the same manner as the <code>wp_list_links</code> function.</p>

<h3>Demo</h3>
<p>You can see this on my test blog at http://robfelty.com/test</p>
<h3>CAVEAT</h3>
<p>Currently this plugin relies on Javascript to expand and collapse the links.<br />
If a user’s browser doesn’t support javascript they won’t see the links to the<br />
posts, but the links to the links will still work (which is the default<br />
behavior in wordpress anyways)</p>
<p>The option to show the number of links currently uses the number stored in the<br />
database, which includes both visible and invisible links. If you have<br />
invisible links, this number will be wrong.</p>


Collapsing Links

This widget uses Javascript to dynamically expand or collapsable the set of links for each link category.

<p>danixland-wporg.stats is a plugin that adds a new widget to be used on the Sidebar (or wherever you like) and some useful shortcodes.<br />
This widget will show a list of plugins by the same author, hosted on the WordPress Plugins directory. It uses the wordpress.org API to fetch all the details and it’s able to show links to the plugin page on wordpress.org or to the URI specified by the author inside the plugin itself. Other stats displayed by the plugin are the total number of downloads for all the plugins, average rating per plugin and total average. Soon the plugin will be able to display even more stats.<br />
If an author has used the assets directory to store the plugin’s icons, danixland-wporg-stats is able to fetch and display the icons as well.<br />
The plugin ships with a few shortcodes to embed your stats inside your posts or pages. You can use it on a landing page for your plugins or, like I do, inside a custom post type page to display stats about the plugins I write.</p>
<h3>ToDo list</h3>
<ul>
<li>.POT file to allow translators to translate the plugin.</li>
<li>bugfixing.</li>
<li>theme directory support.</li>
<li>custom tags inside the description.</li>
<li>average downloads and more stats coming soon…</li>
<li>I’m open to suggestions, so don’t be shy.</li>
</ul>
