hi. how do i get a category list to output in a <ul> with this sort of logic to it?

> category
>> subcategory
>> subcategory
> category
> category
>> subcategory

etc.

Something like this?

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

thanks for that. the problem here is that the client i’m working for will be adding new categories and subcategories as he adds more content, and i need the category list to be able to auto-populate based on his additions.

and one more thing: display all articles (sorted by sub-categories) under this parent category then parent category link is clicked. possible?

Sure:

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

Yes, you can place this code on your page:

<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />'>
  <h3><txp:category title="1" /></h3>
  <txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' wraptag="ul" break="li">
    <txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
  </txp:article_custom>
</txp:category_list>

But this doesn’t work too well on a child category page. Do the child categories in the menu need to be hyperlinked? In that case the code will need some modification.
