Void Categories not-listed. Howto.

How to get listed only categories containing articles. At present I can’t find any example, although time ago, I remember, I have already read howto get that.

Perhaps the zem_popup_cat plugin is what you’re looking for.

Or adi_cat_menu: When I read …

adi_cat_menu will produce a menu of categories and their articles.
[…]
new attribute: ‘list_empty_cats’

… I’m quite sure that it previously did only list those categories that had articles assigned. And Adi won’t have removed that previous behaviour.

At present the download of this plugin is not available, anywhere they tell it produce a pop-up. I don’t need to have the categories listed in another window.

adi_cat_menu:

About this plugin, I’ve tried it, but list_empty_cats doesn’t work. If = 0 displays all the categories; if=1, it doesn’t display anything. Besides I can’t integrate the script in the complex expression I was using (a clickable category-menu, that displays article-lists – by selected category – in the center of the page).

I tought could be available a solution by means of a TXP tag.

Anyway thank you very much.

<txp:category_list>

<txp:variable name="cat-has-article" value='<txp:article_custom category=''<txp:category />'' limit="1" />' />

<txp:if_variable name="cat-has-article" value="">
	<!-- What happens if hasn't artilce, maybe empty -->
	<txp:else />
	<!-- What happens if has one or more artilces -->
</txp:if_variable>

</txp:category_list>
