nested menu

I’m experimenting on my localhost with Els’ code here

<txp:category_list children="0" wraptag="ul" break="">
<li class="cat"><txp:category title="1" link="1" />
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />' wraptag="ul" break="" class="subcat_list">
<li><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></li>
</txp:category_list>
</li>
</txp:category_list>

I’m wondering if there is a way to include linked articles in there too. Thinking of ways to create a linked nested menu

• category 1
  • article 1
  • article 2
• category 2
  • sub-category 2a
    • article 3
    • article 4
  • sub-category 2b
    • article 5
• category 3
  • article 6

etc

Do you mean like this?

<txp:category_list children="0" wraptag="ul" break="">
   <li class="cat"><txp:category title="1" link="1" />
      <txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />' wraptag="ul" break="" class="subcat_list">
         <li><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></li>
         <txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />'>
            <li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
         </txp:article_custom>
      </txp:category_list>
   </li>
</txp:category_list>

Yep:) I think that it will work! I’m trying different layouts on my localhost so as to relaunch neme.org.

Re: nested menu

No it doesn’t work as it does not parse articles which belong to parent categories

This is where I am at

<ul><li><a href="<txp:site_url />">Home</a></li>
<txp:category_list children="0" wraptag="" break="" class="">

<li><txp:category title="1" link="1" />
<ul><txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' break="li">
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:article_custom></ul>

<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />' break="" wraptag="ul" class="">

<li><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></li>
<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />'>
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:category_list>
</li>
</txp:category_list></ul>

which does not work either as it produces empty uls in parent categories which contain no articles. (all articles in those are in child categories)
