Yeah, that’s beyond the abilities of the stw_category_tree plug-in. You’re going to need a plug-in that handles article output. I use chh_article_custom, though I don’t know if it supports what you want to do.

I’m not sure what you mean by category titles. Which column in the DB table are you referring to? (I’m only on release g1.19, so if this is more recent improvement to the system, please let me know.)

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

Yes, this is a new TXP feature. The database has been expanded so that every category and section, apart from its name, has also a user-friendly “title”. Currently, the TXP core cannot make use of these extra fields, but the upm_section_title, upm_category_title and my own etz_crumbs plugin can take advantage of them.

This is very useful for internationalization, especially in languages that use their own alphabet (non-ASCII). See a demonstration of etz_crumbs, where in the breadcrumbs menu the category and section names are translated to Greek, thus avoiding the use of Greek characters in the URLs.

Gotcha. I’ll look into it.

Try editing the plugin by replacing the function stw_cat_link with this:

<code>
function stw_cat_link ($cat,$sec) { global $pfr,$url_mode; $path = $pfr.”?”;

if (!empty($sec) && $sec != ‘default’) $path = ($url_mode==1) ? $pfr.$sec.”/” : $path.“s=”.$sec.”&amp;”; return tag($cat,‘a’,’ href=”’.$path.urlencode($cat).’”’);
}
</code>

I’m not sure if this is the right way to go about it, but it appears to be working for me.

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

I have txp installed in a subdirectory called main

so its:
http://cepa/main/

When I use section=“links” on your plugin clicking a category link should take me to:
http://cepa/main/links/?c=whatever-category

Instead it takes me to:
http://cepa/links/?c=whatever-category notice the missing /main/

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Update: If I add section=“main/links” it works but main isn’t a section it is the install path of txp so it should be unnecesary.

There you go: admin >> plugins >> stw_category_tree >> edit

and replace:

<pre>return tag($cat,’a’,’ href=

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

Thanks Etz! That was driving me nuts (and preventing an upgrade from rev326 for a site).

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

Thanks Etz, does this also work for link categories?

I guess I should try it huh?

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

You can actually use rss_superarchive very nicely for palin ol’ cat links with section pruning . Look at this thread

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

Why is the upm_category_title plugin needed if all categories have titles anyway?

Re: [Archived] stw_category_tree

Etz,

You are awesome, it worked perfectly. Now one more request. Can you get mem_glinklist to output category titles instead of names, as well?
