Clean urls with cbs_category_list? - help!

TXP’s normal <txp:category_list /> produces link with urls like www.site.com/category/category_name. But I wanted a category list that includes the number of articles in each category, so I am using cbs_category_list. Works great, except it outputs messy urls. Does anyone know how I could modify the plugin (see code below) to make it output clean urls? It’s such a short plugin I thought I could figure it out, but my PHP skills are…lacking.

/*
   cbs_category_list v0.9
   by Christophe Beyls [http://www.digitalia.be]
*/

function cbs_category_list($atts)
{
	global $s, $c;

	extract(lAtts(array(
		'label'    => '',
		'labeltag' => '',
		'break'    => 'br',
		'wraptag'  => '',
		'parent'   => '',
		'posted'   => '',
		'section'  => $s,
		'sticky'   => '',
		'showcount'=> '',
		'class'    => __FUNCTION__,
		'activeclass'=> ''
	),$atts));

	$parent = ($parent) ? " AND c.parent = '$parent'" : '';
	$showcount = ($showcount == 'true') ? ', COUNT(*) AS count' : '';
	$sticky = ($sticky == 'true') ? '5' : '4';

	switch($posted) {
		case 'all':
			$posted = '';
			break;
		case 'future':
			$posted = ' AND t.Posted >= now()';
			break;
		default:
			$posted = ' AND t.Posted < now()';
	}

	if($section == 'default') {
		$table = ', `'.PFX.'txp_section` AS s';
		$sqlsection = 's.name AND s.on_frontpage = 1';
	} else {
		$table = '';
		$sqlsection = "'$section'";
	}

	$rs = startRows(
	  'SELECT c.name, c.title'.$showcount.' FROM `'.PFX.'txp_category` AS c, `'.PFX.'textpattern` AS t'.$table
	  .' WHERE (c.name = t.Category1 OR c.name = t.Category2) AND c.type = \'article\' AND t.Section = '.$sqlsection.$parent.$posted
	  .' AND t.Status = '.$sticky.' GROUP BY c.name ORDER BY c.title'
	);
	if(!$rs)
		return '';

	$count = '';
	$out = array();
	while($a = nextRow($rs)) {
		extract($a);

                $out[] = tag(str_replace('& ','& ', $title), 'a', ' href="'.pagelinkurl(array('c'=>$name, 's'=>$section))
				.(($activeclass && ($s == $section) && ($c == $name)) ? '" class="'.$activeclass.'"' : '"')).($count ? ' ('.$count.')' : '');
	}
	return doLabel($label, $labeltag).doWrap($out, $wraptag, $break, $class);
}

Re: Clean urls with cbs_category_list? - help!

It uses pagelinkurl() to generate URLs, same as category_list. URLs such as /section/?c=category are as clean as Txp currently produces for section-based category lists.

Code is topiary

Oh okay I get it. So if you are cool with ignoring the section, then txp can produce a url like www.site.com/category/category_name, but if you want it sort of section-sensitive, you’re stuck with messy urls. Okay, no biggie. If I recall correctly, I think gbp_permanent_links can help.
