Version 1.1.2 now available!

This plugin is a variant on the Taxonomy Dropdown Widget. Rather than display post tags (or terms from any public, non-hierarchical custom taxonomies) in the tag cloud, the Tag List Widget will present terms in a list.

For version 1.0, I completely rewrote the plugin and added support for all public, non-hierarchical custom taxonomies in addition to post tags. I also removed support for WordPress 2.7 and earlier.

Version 1.1.2 of the Taxonomy List Widget features:

• Ability to specify list style;
• Ability to specify label shown above list;
• Ability to trim long tag names to fit within sidebar;
• Ability to specify indicator that tag names are truncated;
• Ability to display post counts;
• Ability to specify list of tags to include in or exclude from dropdown;
• Ability to specify order tags should be shown in;
• Ability to specify a minimum number of posts a tag must be associated with before it will appear in the dropdown;
• Ability to include tags that aren’t associated with any posts;
• Ability to specify link relationship (dofollow, nofollow) in the widget options.
• Ability to filter get_terms arguments for greater control over tags shown in dropdown.
• Function available to generate lists outside of the sidebar.

The function powering the Taxonomy List Widget can also be accessed through the taxonomy_list_widget( $options, $id ) function for use outside of the sidebar or in a theme that does not utilize a widgetized sidebar. Details of the valid parameters that can be passed via the $options array are included in the plugin’s readme file.

Compatibility

Taxonomy List Widget v1.1.2 is compatible with WordPress 2.8 and higher.
