Jiglu: Jiglu support: Discussion: Tags on widget have stopped auto-hiding

When I first installed the widget on my blog last week it was relatively small when the page first loaded and only expanded when interacted with. Now it loads up fully expanded all the time, taking up a large amount of vertical height in my sidebar. Is this an intentional change, or a bug?

Hi Rob.

This reason it is not folding anymore is because the system is currently configured to only fold if:

1. There are more than 20 topics (or whatever else is being displayed), which there are on your site.

2. The widget is configured to markup the actual text of the article itself. This is currently set to off for your widget, which is the reason the widget is not folding anymore.

Because we want to come up with a solution that is better for our users, what is your preference for the functionality here? Would you prefer it to fold all the time, whether text markup is on or off? If you let us know then we can hopefully come up with a solution that is better for all of our users.

Thanks for letting us know about this.

OK, I didn't realise about the second condition, the documentation I could find on this site only mentioned the first condition.

What would be best for me would be if I could have control over the style of the links which get embedded in the articles. I see that your widget basically inserts a load of CSS into the head of my page after all of my stylesheets, which is fine for the widget itself but means your applying styles to my body text, across all medias not just screen, which it's difficult for me to override.

Hi Rob. We'll make sure we update the FAQ about the auto-hiding

In the light of some of the feedback we are getting, we are going to implement some further changes over the next few weeks, and we'll keep you posted

Thanks for your support
