hello there,
i've recently used the link list sidebar plugin but it has some issue with long links names and i'm wondering if it's possible to fix this.

Sure. Just use shorter link names. (That was an easy one.)

:wink:

lol,
i've already thought about that :) - i thought having the links names in 2 lines won't hurt.

as for the other part.. any idea what file should i look for to edit that text below the comment form?

Another alternative would be to make your sidebar wider :wink:

Great idea. Theoretically.

You could try this:

Code: Select all

.dtree a.node, .dtree a.nodeSel { white-space:normal!important; }
in your stylesheet, but you're not going to like the result.

The reason is this: constructing and formatting the HTML code for this is not that easy. It's supposed to have this tree structure, which requires some formatting which requires some compromise. Hard to explain, but with the current HTML code for this, "2 lines" isn't that simple to do. In the end, it will pretty much per pointless anyway since the more "levels" the link list tree gets, the more likely it is to look ugly.

I'm not 100% sure. I think these come from various language files. Anyway, I don't think you want to edit these. Your changes would be overwritten with the next s9y update.
