multiple values for parent attribute in txp:category_list
Having this category tree, I’d like to traverse both mammal and reptile (and exclude them) with one call to txp:category_list
- mammal
- tiger
- lion
- human
- zebra
- reptile
- crocodile
- alligator
If parent attribute could accept multiple values, I think I could do this:
<txp:category_list parent="mammal, reptile" exclude="mammal, reptile" />and get done with it
But currently, the parent attribute on txp:category_list accepts only one value.
So, current options are to use two calls to txp:category_list (one for mammal, one for reptile), or maybe assign them to a higher category (ie. animals) and use it as the value for parent attribute. But I’m not sure this second alternative would let me traverse mammal and reptile while at the same time excluding/filter them…
Bottom line: does it makes sense for parent attribute to accept multiple values?

Re: multiple values for parent attribute in txp:category_list
I think I used some thing similar to <txp:category_list parent="animal" exclude="animal,mammal, reptile" /> in the past. Away from base otherwise I would check it.

Joe, thanks. Will try it.
Although having to re-group categories into a up-level category to be able to do so may not be always possible. Also, it won’t be possible for top-level categories, if there is more than one.
