My site has far too many download categories to display in a widget. Will the add-on handle the display of my glossary terms in a way that makes sense?
Yes. There are a few different options on how this can be achieved. The quickest is to simply limit the number of categories that are displayed in the widget.
Alternatively you can choose to display based on tags. With this in mind you can use a more limited number of tags for your downloads and use them to display downloads within the widgets.
