    This is what it currently looks like:
    o First one o Second one o Third
    one o Fourth one o Fifth one o
    Sixth one o Seventh one o Eighth one, etc.

    Why can’t categories be listed like this:
    o First one
    o Second one
    o Third one
    o Fourth one
    o Fifth one
    o Sixth one
    o Seventh one
    o Eighth one, etc.

    This question has been asked a few times and I haven’t seen a response or a suggestion on how this can be done. If anyone can help, pleas let me know. Thanks.

    What are you referring to? if you mean the category radio buttons available when you create a link? then these types of form elements are naturally of an inline nature, if you want them stacking vertically then, sadly, you will need to re write the markup to correctly describe input labels as the category text at present is naked anonymous inlinebox text and as such is not controllable via presentational styling it needs to be marked up as ‘label’ tags

    I noticed that. What I did was just add a <br> at the end of each category title. Not perfect, but workable in my scenario. Hope this helps.

  • I am going to take a look at the code. works with the multisite hack.

    Now i know that the output is a bit broken i think could be a bit more work than i hoped to get the styling right

    or
    define( 'BP_LINKS_CREATE_CATEGORY_SELECT', true );
    to make it a select box

    Does anyone know how to turn the select pulldown feature (in the main links area) to a sidebar with buttons for each category. Let me know, I’m willing to pay :)

    @Cam which .php file is that under?

    I’m looking after /plugins/buddypress-links/ here and not showing where to put that.
