[Archived] stw_category_tree

adnanoner · 2007-02-21 17:07:59

Hey guys, I’m having a problem.
My page turns blank/404 even when I use the basic stw_category_tree plugin. I think it has got something to do with the “sgb_url_handler:“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=6810&p=30 , because when I used it my whole website turned blank. I now deinstalled and deleted it, but my stw_category_tree still seems not to work.

Anybody got an idea on how to fix it? Or is there a plugin that does the same as the stw_category_tree plugin?

Thanks in advance!

I can’t answer your question about why stw_category_tree isn’t working but I know sgb_url_handler is no longer supported and there is a fantastic replacement out there called gbp_permanent_links if you want to try it out.

mrdale · 2007-02-21 17:30:42

The two are probably not related.

Although sgb_url_handler is not supported, it still works well for me, and will keep using it till greame’s excellent plugin to support image categories.

You can turn off “sgb_url_handler’s” dependence on “sgb_error_handler” and also tell it not to do any error redirects by editing some lines at the top of the plugin.

// Include sgb_error_documents
//include_plugin(‘sgb_error_documents’); <—Comment out this line, like this

$config[‘send_errors’] = 0; // bool <— change the one to zero

// Send 301 redirects? $config[‘send_301’] = 0; // bool <— change the one to zero

// Send 404 not founds? $config[‘send_404’] = 0; // bool <— change the one to zero

I am using txp:stw_category_tree tag, and I have problem with URL’s. They doesn’t contain section but only category. Is there any way to put section in url too? (s=something&c…)

Thank you

Use the section attribute, see the first post for details.

Thank you, that’s it ;)

Is it possible to use some kind of category list sorting with this plugin?

Not as such, although you can use the category “name” for ordering and the “title” for display. So you could do the following…

category title=“people” and name=“01-people”
category title=“animals” and name=“02-animals”

to list people before animals in a list.

I’ve read through this thread and haven’t been able to find an answer to my problem. stw_category_tree works great, except I really want to remove “category” from the URL.

For example, I have a top-level category called “computers” and a sub-category called “apple”. These are the URLs it creates:

http://domain.com/category/computers
http://domain.com/category/apple

Is there anyway to get rid of the “category” in the URL so it show like this:

http://domain.com/computers
http://domain.com/apple (or http://domain.com/computers/apple)

This is my current code:

<txp:stw_category_tree break=“li” prune=“true” onclass=“select” type=“article” killempties=“true” wraptag=“ul” />

I use a built-in TXP function called pagelinkurl to construct my category links. In the plugin it’s called from a function called stw_cat_link:

function stw_cat_link ($cat,$sec,$title) {
	return tag(str_replace("& ","&#38; ", $title),'a',' href="'.pagelinkurl(array('c'=>$cat, 's'=>$sec)).'"');
}

So if you wanted to overwrite the way category links are constructed, that’s your best bet on where to go to start tinkering. As for a way to do it from the markup, I’m afraid there isn’t a way.

Sandor,

Great plugin, thanks!

Wondering if there’s a way to apply a different class to the parent and children <li>?
Doesn’t look like the plugin will do this in it’s current state…unless I’m missing something.

Is this a feature that would be difficult to add?
Would you consider an update?

If you are willing…here’s an example of possible attributes:
onclassparent=""
onclasschild=""

I’d try to mod it myself, but my programming skills aren’t quite ready.

This would allow for a lot greater CSS control over how things get hidden/shown when using javascript to create an expanding menu. I’ve been using stw_category_tree and a small bit of Javascript to create a really good tree menu. See this thread

I have the menu working pretty well here
(the rest of the store is still very much under development, just sample stuff in there now).

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for this very good plugin.

There is only one thing I could ask for. For the sake of Accessibilty do you think it would be possible to add the ability to wrap a strong tag around the active category and additionally remove the link? This would improve usability alot.

Furthermore, this would make it possible to identify ones location on the websites with either styles turned off or website only read by screenreader.

I have tried to adjust the plugin myself but couldn’t find my way through your code.

thanks

PS: now that I have further read trough the threads, It might also be very useful to add the ability to sort categories

:-)

Markus-

Glad you enjoy the plugin. Thanks for using it.

I don’t have any plans to add a strong tag and remove the link as part of the standard set-up; however, I’d be happy to tell you which lines of PHP to change to make it work this way on your set-up. I won’t be able to do it today, but I’ll try to get it it in the next couple weeks.

Renobird, I’ll see what I can do about that. I might not implement it exactly the way you describe, but I don’t see why I couldn’t add an additional class to the parent and child LIs.

Hi,

Just been updating a website where I am using this plugin and I am finding that it would be great to add a ‘sort’ attribute to the display of categories. Basically, the plugin is sorting by name and I would like to have the possibility to sort by title also. Sure it takes just a few lines of code somewhere.

Thankfully,
Alex
