Textpattern Support Forum

I’m getting the wrong url in the category list output.

Test site here

My Site URL ( in Admin > Preferences) is set to cac.pnca.edu/txp

Yet the bulleted links this plugin outputs (collections, facilities, history) chop off the /txp in their href.

I’m using the code like this:
<pre>
<txp:stw_category_tree start=“about” css_id=“subcats” />
</pre>

Anyone have any thoughts? Something easy I’m missing?

Thanks.

UPDATE: Fixed it on the database level by changing “path_to_root” in the txp_prefs table. No way to do this in the admin GUI, though.

Hey Sandor, it was great to meet you (albeit briefly) at SXSW. Thanks again for this plugin!

A little bump to ask if it is possible to get this working with clean urls, so my outputted list will point to /section/category instead of section/?c=category

First off a great big thanks to Santheo for a timely plugin that might have just saved my ass! So far it does exactly what I need! I aplogise in advance but this question is (possibly) not about the plugin.

Currently when I select the “Air Filters” parent category I get a whole list of ALL articles in ALL it’s child categories. I would only like to see an article list once I have selected a child category, then I would see articles belonging only to that child.

Thanks for any help

Sorry for the long absence from this thread. I don’t get as much time to work on this as I’d like. I’m glad to hear many people are getting such great uses out of it.

Anybody figure out a way to change the display order of the categories under a given section?

Aesop: I don’t think that’s possible. I think the categories are automatically sorted alphabetically. If anyone knows differently, please speak up.

I am using the latest RC3 Version of Textpattern and installed the plugin stw_category_tree 0.5 so far so good but i can’t get it work or do his job to put out the list of link with each category

I think what you’re asking is for the links to be written out as well as the category names. This is not what the plug-in does. stw_category_tree is designed to just to output the hierarchical list of categories.

<code><txp:stw_category_tree prune=true /></code>
but there is no output and no error at all?

First of all, you must enclose your property values in quotes. So it should be prune=“true”.

Secondly, to display the link categories, and not the article categories, you need to add the property <code>type</code> and set its value to “link”.

I’m looking into it.

Does this allow for an active class? I have been trying fruitlessly to get it to work and would love some insight if someone has this working.

It does allow for an active class. It’s the property <code>onclass</code>. From the documentation:

[Set onclass to the] value you’d like assigned to the class property of the current cateogry and all of its ancestors. Note: if this is assigned to anything other than an empty string, <code>id</code> attributes will also be assigned to all li tags, with the value set to that li’s category. If unassigned, no class or id attributes will be assigned.

Re-reading that now, I can see how that text can be a little confusing. Let me know if you think I should tweak it to read a little clearer.
