Hello,
When I want to edit the parameters of a widget in the Dynamic Widget settings, the page is very very hard on loading: I presume that the problem comes from my number of users (up to 10 000 users on my database). Is there a way to display only authors and not all users on the "Article settings" ? Maybe we can hack the code of the plugin to not display all the users.
Thanks !
Wow! 10.000 users... yeah, I can imagine it takes a while to build up such a list. Excluding users from the subscribers group is I think the best solution to that. I'll have a look what I can do about that.
Please note it will take a while. I'm traveling right now. I'm a bit limited in having internet access and no time to do some development work to Dynamic Widgets.

Hello Qurl!
Thank you for your answer, I don't want to take about your time while your travel ;) Just want to know if you can give me some indications: do you know where I can find the function which displays the list of all users ? Maybe if I hack this function I'll succeed to display only users with a certain role (so only authors in fact).
Thank you for your help and mainly for this awesome plugin which makes blogs more effective ;)
The function to get the list of users is located in ./mods/single_module.php on line 25. The (now I just found out deprecated function) get_users_of_blog() needs to be replaced by get_users() with the appropriate arguments.

Thank you so much, it works like a charm !
I've changed get_users_of_blog() by get_users('role=author'); for those who may have the same problem.
Thousand thanks ;)
The next (dev) version will have a limitation of user level > 0. This means subscribers will not be included in the list anymore.

Hi there!
Wondering if this was solved? I have about 10K subscribers too!
It would be great if it could be limited to admin/editors/authors/contributors.
Yes, it is solved. Stable version 1.4.2 has this in.

Can you walk me through how this should work?
I'm using the dynamic widget now, and when I view a widget, and expand the the drop down menu for something like SINGLE POSTS, it still shows all my users in the scrolling checklist. It does load relatively quickly, but I was assuming that you meant that it would only display a certain type of user.
It shows every user with a higher level than subscriber (level > 0). Do you have more roles in the WP system than the standard WP roles? Cause in standard WP the next role has author capabilities.

I'm just using the default settings, it's listed as
Administrator
Editor
Author
Contributor
Subscriber
Only a few people are from Admin - Contributor. Most users are subscribers, but that's what is being pulled into the list it seems.
Shoot! I think I made a typo in the code. The argument I need to use is 'authors', I used 'author'. Going to investigate and fix.

Thanks! Glad to help troubleshoot.
OK, it was indeed the typo.
Fixed now in development version 1.4.2.1.
