JimJoe, I’m pretty sure stw_category tree doesn’t enter <br>s in category names, so I think it’ll have to do with class names.

Well, it seems any category listing, any plugin, breaks at the blank between words.
So I changed some category titles to have underscores connecting each word and those don’t break.
I presently have the listing on my archive pages. I have added the plugin to my front page.

That’s just your CSS, has nothing to do with plugins or tags used…

Click around a little in your txp admin: Presentation > Style.
What do I change
Can you post a link?
BTW we’re pirating a plugin thread for a non TXP issue. You should open a new topic in Assistance > Presentation.

Re: adi_cat_menu – Category & article menu
You can edit the CSS in Presentation > Style. With such long category titles it will hardly be possible to always keep them on one line, but you can change a lot by increasing the width of #container and #sidebar-2. Then experiment with margin and padding for #sidebar-2 ul, #sidebar-2 ul li, #sidebar-2 ul li ul.
If you need help with the styling, post in the Presentation forum :)
Edit: ah Uli, you were faster again ;)

Re: adi_cat_menu – Category & article menu
Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to get the category to have the active class applied as well as the article.
- Category A (want active class applied to category that holds the active article)
- Article A1
- Article A2 (active article – active class applied)
- Article A3
- Category B
- Article B1
- Article B2
- Article B3
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

It should do this by default … I hope! Oops

Re: adi_cat_menu – Category & article menu
Oh! Shoot, I wonder what I’m doing wrong…
This is the tag I’m using:
<txp:adi_cat_menu parent=“Projects” this_section=“yes” active_only=“yes” />
The form: (adi_cat_menu_articles)
<li<txp:adi_cat_menu_if> class=“active_class”</txp:adi_cat_menu_if><txp:rvm_if_this_article> class=“active_class”</txp:rvm_if_this_article>>
<txp:permlink><txp:title/></txp:permlink>
</li>
Thoughts? Thank you!

Just for the record, the short answer is nothing. I’ve had some off-forum conversations with kbarlow & it turned out that adi_cat_menu (& my understanding of it) was a little lacking. Basically, the active class was not being applied to the category <li> when in individual article display mode.
This has been fixed up now and version 0.5 is available for download. The new version also includes some older enhancements previously only available in beta releases:
- new attribute: ‘list_empty_cats’ (for floodfish)
- new attributes ‘list_id’ & ‘list_id_prefix’ (for floodfish)
- new attributes: ‘wraptag’, ‘wraptag_id’, ‘wraptag_class’
- new attribute: ‘active_parent’ (for kbarlow)
I haven’t made the new active_class behaviour the default – not wanting to cause any nasty surprises – so active_parent="1" is required to switch it on.
Usual terms & conditions apply – if I’ve broken something, apologies in advance.
