Re: Showing different category listings for Category 1 vs Category 2 menu

masa, I think ied_hide_in_admin lets you hide categories.

Jon-Michael & Steve,
thanks for the link – I had forgotten this one existed.

On a side note, well, you know how it is, plugin authors come and go, plugins get abandoned, which also makes upgrading txp a real gamble at times.

I’m always trying to do as much as possible with what’s natively available in txp keeping the number of installed plugins at a minimum.

Cheers Martin

If you don’t mind changing TXP core code, edit /textpattern/include/txp_article, change line 837 (in the category_popup function) from:

$rs = getTree('root', 'article');

into:

$rs = getTree($id, 'article');

I just tried to reapply that patch – now line 957 – after upgrading a site from 4.0.6 to 4.0.8, but sadly it doesn’t work anymore: now both selects disappear entirely (the labels are still visible).

I would love to get this working again, as I need to make sure the users can only select from a certain subset of child categories under category-1 and -2 respectively.
