Re: anyone working on a category plugin ?
Busy working on a renumbering scheme. The only problem I see with this method is if I have to add a number of second level categories down the road. Below that level I made enough of a number spread so it shouldn’t be a problem there. Of cours,e if i have to renumber the nations on my site… everything below that will have to be redone.

Re: anyone working on a category plugin ?
I admit that with your number of categories and sub-levels it’s not the most elegant and simple way, but unfortunately at the moment there is no other way to handle the sorting (except hardcode the entire menu, come to think of it that might even be less work…).

Well, I have used an across the top menu system from here: Freestyle menu But I cannot seem to get it to work with Textpattern. Probably its the js and css I need to place correctly.

First get your menu to display what you want. Then it won’t be a problem implementing the css and js to make it look how you want :)

Re: anyone working on a category plugin ?
I have added the menu, but I had to add part of it to the defaultpage and archivepage as I couldn’t get the Server side include to work… SSI is enabled on my web hosts’ servers, I just couldn’t figure out how to get it to load on Textpattern.
edit:
It did take me a long while on my MT blog, so I am not too surprised… Plain html pages, I get it to work first time. I have placed the files for the menu in both the theme folder I am using, and in the root part of the cms.

It’s a kludge though, and I’d like to change this procedure in future TXP’s so you can add a category on-the-fly directly from the Write tab. Whether it’s possible remains to be seen.
That, and similarly being able to add a new image category while in the individual image tab (after uploading), would be a superb refinement. Something like the category drop-down selector accompanied by an input field saying “Select an existing category …or create a new one”.
I hope, you can figure out a way.
