I’m having the same problem that mericson stated on the previous page

I want:
http://www.mysite.org/bar/?c=baz

But I get:
http://www.mysite.org/category/baz/

section/category links do not work

lee also pointed out the problem here

Paul said it was fixed here and offered a download with the fix.

There is mention of version 1a.2 but the links lead to a page with only downloads for v1.1

Can anyone out there point me to version 1a.2? Or, does anyone know of a fix for the section/category link problem? Thanks!

I have no idea why, but I get all my categories listed with pre tags at the very beginning of my page (even before doctype declaration), then down where I inserted the tag <txp:stw_category_tree count="1" killempties="1" /> it displays the output you would expect.

This is what I see at the very top of the page with “view source”:

<pre>
breast-imaging, article
</pre>
<pre>
cardiac, article
</pre>
<pre>
chest, article
</pre>
<pre>
gastrointestinal, article
</pre>
<pre>
genitourinary, article
</pre>...etc, etc, etc...

Fixing this currently by brute force with pre { display: none; }

I’m running 4.2, working other than the issues I’m having above and below.

The killempties attribute has an odd behavior, not sure if it’s as intended. It does hide categories that are “top-level” with no child categories in them, but shouldn’t it display them if there are articles assigned to them? When I set count="1", any categories with articles assigned show up, while those without stay hidden. This is better, but actually I think any category (parent or “empty top-level”) should be hiddene is there are no articles assigned to it. Bug?

Another thing, even when I set the section attribute, if I use stw_category_tree in a different section, it is ignoring that attribute and just makes all the links relative to the current section.

Ok, I’ve figured out the problem of stripping off the numerics. Add these 2 lines to this section:

// BUILD THE TEXT OF THE CATEGORY LINK $newname=smd_strip_numerics($title); $title=$newname;

And add this function:
// Strips out numbers at beginning (hack allows for custom sort order)
// Items must be in format: ’1. Item’, ’2. Item’, ’10. Item’
function smd_strip_numerics($name) { // ^([0-9]+)\. $newname2 = ereg_replace(”^[0-9]+\. “, “”, $name); $newname1 = ereg_replace(”^[0-9]+\-”, “”, $newname2); $newname = str_replace(”-”, “ “, $newname1); return $newname;
}

— Now, next problem. For some reason, it seems that the plugin is now ignored my .htaccess. It is no longer leaving off the “index.php” in the url. (I am using “messy” urls.)

Any ideas about this problem? Thanks! Vicki

I have 4 lists on my start page which is the default section. List 1-3 are the 3 main product groups with their subproducts listed underneath and list4 is filled with about, references, ..
Product group 1:
<txp:stw_category_tree start="productGroup1" maxlevel="1" section="products"/>

Maxlevel is to avoid showing subProducts on the start page.

Now if I click on product1 in the productGroup1 list I get to my products section. Here I want to show 2 lists. 1 with all the products of productGroup1 with product1 active (since this was the link I clicked on the startpage). And another list with the subProducts of the active product.

How would I do that?
Right now i have <txp:stw_category_tree start="*" /> which gives me the subProducts. But as soon as I click on a subProduct, the list gets empty because it tries to fill in subSubProducts (which don’t exist).
My question is: how do I get lists on an absolute level in the hierarchy? So that list1 always displays the (right) 2nd level of my category tree (absolute, the 2nd level from the root) and list2 always displays the right 3rd level of my category tree (if something is selected on the 2nd level)?
