any way to add id element to section_list?
I have searched the forums for an answer to this but can’t find anything.
Is there any way to automatically generate a unique id element for the <txp:section_list />, perhaps through some plugin. Nothing in the basic tags seems to do what I want.
The end result I’m looking for is that each section link will have a unique identifier so that I can apply specific styling (i.e., image replacement) to links individually: <li id="about"><a href="index.php?s=about">About</a></li>
The other option would be manually coding the links, which I can do but I was hoping there would be some way to automatically call the section title from the database.
Thanks for your help.

Page:
<txp:article_custom form="alt_section_list" sort="section asc" />Article form ‘alt_section_list’:
<txp:if_first_article><ul></txp:if_first_article>
<txp:if_different>
<li id="<txp:section />"><txp:section title="1" link="1" /></li>
</txp:if_different>
<txp:if_last_article></ul></txp:if_last_article>The downside is that you can only sort the list alphabetically, either asc or desc. And it will only show sections that have articles.

It would be quite easy do with a plugin (or mod), if you were willing to have the id in the a element instead of the li, because then it should only take a small change to the section_list function (see taghandlers.php).
Code is topiary
