Category tree
I have emulated section tree by hand (presentational templates will remain quite steady), but I would let authors to set new categories for his articles.
Both txp:category_list and txp:popup type="c" work fine, but do not reflect subcategory dependence upon its parent category (and txp:popup also reverts ?c="messy" URLs). The following example is wrong, although I hope it will demonstrate what I am willing to achieve:
<dl id="c-tree">
<txp:category_list>
<txp:if_different>
<dt><txp:category1 title="1" link="1" /></dt>
</txp:if_different>
<dd><txp:category2 title="1" link="1" /></dd>
</txp:category_list>
</dl>Offline

Re: Category tree
Not sure if this is what you’re after?
<dl id="c-tree">
<txp:category_list children="0">
<dt><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></dt>
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />'>
<dd><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></dd>
</txp:category_list>
</txp:category_list>
</dl>Offline
Re: Category tree
You are TxP wizard. And my redeemer, too. Because I am not a programmer, only HTML/CSS coder. That is where Textpattern especially helps. You could post this trick on Texpattern.net, Textpattern.org, or Txptips.com — I think that is the typical solution for the most of quite complex sites. Thank you very much!
Still one small problem in the output list, can you imagine — where unexpected <br /> line breaks shoot up from?

Tag reference is your friend. Look what it says about break attribute on category_list article. Yep, the default is <br /> which can be undone by setting the value to unset (adding break="" to your <txp:category_list /> -tags).

Done, thanks!

Re: Category tree
The tree is context-sensitive: full on a front page (with consistent URLs), and section-limited elsewhere (/section/?c=“some-category”). It is OK, although there are some informational pages with no content, e.g. /index. Is it possible to avoid context-sensitivity in this form?

Re: Category tree
Hi Vladas, try this:
<dl id="c-tree">
<txp:category_list children="0">
<dt><txp:category section="default" title="1" link="1" /></dt>
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />'>
<dd><txp:category section="default" title="1" link="1" /></dd>
</txp:category_list>
</txp:category_list>
</dl>Offline
