Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Daniel’s DropDowns extends the standard WordPress category and archive template

tags. It provides a category dropdown that uses the standard WordPress link

tags for its targets, so it will work with the standard permalinks, or any

form of “pretty” permalinks. The archive dropdown is a lot simpler, as that

template tag will create option entries with the proper links.

Dropdowns can also include buttons or links to activate the current selection,

or (as of version 2) be rendered as auto-navigating select boxes. Also, as of

version 2, you can specify the text that will appear in the link or on the

button.

0 USERS – As of version 2, the CSS parameters have been removed, as

each item can be uniquely identified without it, and will use the CSS of the

theme if none is specified. There are notes in the plug-in that explain how to

write CSS to address these elements, and also explain the (now 2) parameters for

each tag.

1 – There is now a “Select Category” option in the category

dropdown, and it is the default. This allows the auto-navigation to work

properly for the first category in the list.

1 – The “Select Category” option was not correctly displayed in the

5-series, due to an extra space in the category dropdown output.
