Here you go:

Just replace the default one in ..\inc\widgets\widgets

I'm getting a 404 not found error when I click that link... :?:

the extension should be .rar .. corrected

Thanks tilqicom! That works perfectly :) :)

no problem.. it's the least i can do..
Actually, wait..it's probably most i can do, i suck at php :P hehe, it's just a one liner

Ok, I lie... The widget works perfectly, except for the aggregator blog I've set up:

http://www.schoolofpuppetry.com.au/archives.php

which seems to repeat the widget's category lists by presenting categories for all the blogs aggregated by this page. (Ie. it lists categories for blog #3,4,7, etc. instead of just blog #4)

I've deleted the cache several times, but it still doesn't seem to fix it. The correct blog id is entered in the widget settings, and I've even checked mysql databases to be sure it saved correctly.

Well, you're one up on me. I'm sort of learning as I'm going, by trial and error. Php is not my forte either :)

see ? :P

anyway, i will be able to see that tomorrow, it's 3am here

:) No worries. Have a good night's sleep!

Ok, here it is:

http://www.tilqi.com/assets/_coll_selective_category_list.widget2.rar

Just leave 'Is Aggregated ?:' unchecked. Check if you want the default action -to display all categories across blogs-

Perfect!!!

This should be added to the plugins/hacks. :)

Thanks so much tilqicom!

you're welcome
