[Archived] stw_category_tree

Great plugin, does it sill work correctly in 4.0? Hopefully I can make a category list working with this. I’ll give it a try. Thanks

jonhicks · 2005-08-24 13:28:28

Working fine on http://pimpmysafari.com/

Joey · 2005-08-24 13:43:49

Thanks, John.

Okay it works, but I’ve a problem: I’ve 2 categories which I don’t want to redirect to the section as specified in the section=”“ attribute. They have to be redirected to an other section. Is that possible? Or is there a possibility to just don’t display those categories?

rajo · 2005-08-24 22:45:23

is there a way for it to only show category one in the list or category two?

Joey · 2005-08-26 06:54:51

Bumb … sorry :(, but I’m afraid nobody has looked at my and rajo’s questions. Thnks.

This plugin is working sooo well for me – thank you!

I have a question that’s probably largely due to my CSS ignorance. I’m hoping for some help with the styling of my category list. I’ve changed the plugin code to:
<code>$css_id = (empty($cssid)) ? “catlist” : $cssid;</code>

Can someone post some example code of how <code>catlist</code> would be styled in the stylesheet? What I’m doing is not working. Also, I have two levels of categories. Can someone post some example code of how I would style each category level separately?

A big thanks in advance.

PS: I searched the Forum and Textbook but didn’t find the answer to this.

First, take a look at listamatic, they have many examples and a couple of tutorials on how to style a list. This plugin just ouputs a standard list, so you can style it however you need to.

To give the second level a different style than the fist, simply declare something like:

ul {background:green} /* First level, whole list */
li {color:black} /* First level, indivual element */

li ul {background:red} /* Second level list */
li li {color:white} /* Second level, indivual element */

This is a bad example, but maybe you get the idea. I have done this on my website with a simple navigation and this plugin. Let me know if that helps.

flowmom – You don’t need to change the cssid in the plugin code. Just at the cssid attribute to the stw_category_tree tag like so: <code><txp:stw_category_tree cssid=“whatever” /></code>

Thanks. I have tried <code><txp:stw_category_tree cssid=“catlist” /></code> after removing catlist from the plugin but I wasn’t able to style the list using <code>catlist</code> in the stylesheet. Care to share example code of how I would do that? I’m not positive I am using the correct syntax for how to include <code>catlist</code> in the stylesheet.

It should output your cssid as id=“catlist” in the actual html so in your css you would style it like so:

<pre>
#catlist{ style1: here; style2: here;
}
</pre>

I have figured it out now! Elmar and tinyfly, your advice was very helpful.

In your css file:

<pre>
#sidebar-2 p, #sidebar-1 p

{

line-height: 15px; font-size: 10px;

}

}
</pre>

Remove that extra closing }

Also, #catlist is applied to the ul tag. You also have styles on an li tag that will override #catlist, hence the cascading in cascading style sheets. You can do this:

<pre>
#catlist li{ style1: whatever; style2: whatever;
}
</pre>

This will override any your other li styles. Also, you can set onclass=”“ to get rid of all the ids on the li tags. Which I would highly suggest.

Glad I could help.

Here is a great site for tutorials on html and css HTML Dog

This is a great plugin! Nontheless, there is a bug: when counting articles in categories, future articles are counted, even if they’re not yet displayed!

There is a quick way to fix it in the counting function?
