[Archived] stw_category_tree

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

applied_robert · 2007-09-17 01:03:01

Hello!

I am using this category layout…

PrimaryCategory1
…SubCategory11
……TertiaryCategory111
…SubCategory12
PrimaryCategory2
…SubCategory21
…SubCategory22
PrimaryCategory3
…SubCategory31
PrimaryCategory4

<txp:stw_category_tree onclass="active" />

Is there any way to flag the current subcategory as “active”, if the user navigates to them? And how to do it? As I understood it, the plugin can or should do this (documentation says so… doesn’t it?) – but on my site only the related ancestors get flagged as class=“active”, whereas the current category itself does not.

E.g., if I click on SubCategory11, only PrimaryCategory1 is flagged as active, if I click on TertiaryCategory111, PrimaryCategory1 and SubCategory11 become flagged active, but TertiaryCategory111 itself never is.

Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something all to obvious..? I have been scratching my head for literally hours…
Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I’ve sort of combined this plugin with the wow_menu plugin, since I also needed the ability to order the categories for a site, and wow_menu lacked some of the nice features of this one (plus this plugin is easier to edit). I’m a bit unsure how to go about this sort of thing around here (do I have to ask the authors if I can use the code when doing stuff like this?), but anyway, I hope this is okay :). I bumped the version number to (hopefully) avoid version-confusion.

Also fixed the warnings in debug, and added a few attributes like ‘hide’ to exclude certain categories. I haven’t tested it fully yet (just one site), but if anyone wants to give it a try:

I think it should work fine on sites currently using stw_category_tree, since I haven’t removed any attributes. The php source can be found here:

Edit: new version, http://www.smartposition.nl/downloads/txp/ should always link to the newest from now on.

Paul:
I just installed your version of the plugin. The admin looks awesome! But I have 2 problems: one (very) minor, one major

The minor one: the images for up & down in the admin tab are not there, i have to look at the status bar info to see whether it’s up or down.

The major one: after reordering and clicking on “save changes i get this error:

Warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘’ at line 1 update txp_category set idx = 0 where id = in /home/.jacobina/linea/dev/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 84

New menu order saved successfully.
It does seem to save the order, but i keep getting errors.
