There in lies the problem. The tag should be <txp:mem_glinklist />

Try that and let me know. Also, what is the version number on it?

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

Oh, wow. I never saw this before. I am so excited… I have wanted this for a very long time.

One request: is there a way to display nested categories? I can set categories of parents of each other – can I get this plugin to show that relationship?

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

I had thoughts about handling nested categories, but I’m not sure which way to go with it. I could either do a breadcrumb style category header (E.g. Main Category :: Sub Category) or make it look like threaded comments.

Main Category
  • Link 1
  • Link 2
  • Sub Category 1
    • L1
    • L2
    • L3

The breadcrumb style is much cleaner with regards to several levels of categories, but the threaded look has its advantages. I will not be available to work on this until next week, but I’ll let you know when I have something.

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

Well, I don’t know which one would be better. Personally, if you’re able to find a way to do either one, I’d be very happy.

I really need to learn PHP so I can do these things myself. :\

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

Wilson, you are missing a piece. This is designed with the goal of listing multiple categories with their headers in a way that keeps each list separate, but grouped together. I could push it up a level and add another wrapper to surround the header and the list.

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

Jennifer, I added support for the breadcrumb style headers and updated the link above. The way to turn on bc headers is with the attribute crumbtrail. If this attribute is set, then it will be used as a separator for each level. This does not show the root (empty) level. To achieve this (and effectively put the separation character before the heading) specify the attribute crumbroot=“1”.

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

Thank you so much!

I can’t seem to get it to work; maybe I’m not not awake enough?

This is what I’ve used:

&lt;txp:mem_glinklist headwraptag=“h4” crumbroot=“1” /&gt;

Re: mem_glinklist: Grouped Link List

You need to specify the crumbtrail attribute for it to turn on.

<txp:mem_glinklist headwraptag="h4" crumbtrail="::" crumbroot="1" />
