    Scribu, I noticed both here in a couple of forum posts as well as on the Github issues page that you were thinking of doing a checkbox version to allow easy mutli-selecting. I was wondering if you had already started development on that yet? If not, I am going to need such functionality for a site I'm working on, and would love to go ahead and code it and then turn over any source to you.

    Just wondering if such functionality was nearly code complete or if I could get started on it. Thanks for the great plugin.

    Yes, I have done some work on it. One of the things that needs doing is mapping the $_GET data into a 'tax_query' that can be passed to WP_Query.

    I recommend you start with the development version, or even better, by forking on github.

    Each view is rendered via a walker, which you can see here:

    Great pointer, thanks. I think I'll fork the GH project, and submit a pull request when finished. Entirely up to you if you choose to accept it. Thanks again!

    @plamba, I got about half way through and then had to direct my efforts to another project for a bit, but I recently took it up again and hope to finish that in the next week or so. I'll post here when I do.

    Hi Scribu,
    first of all thank you!
    The checkbox-thing would help me a lot, i am a student, so not that good in programing(just a little little bit of php..). How can I get checkboxes work?!
    (I am doing the site for my parents :P )

    Thank you in advance!!

    This is brilliant plugin, one of those not many, that hits the bull's eye.

    I agree that checkboxes would look much nicer and less confusing.

    Since i'm not a programmer, i just simply took away list bullets and placed images of checked OR non checked box in front of each li tag.

    Doesnt look gorgeous, but serves the purpose:
