Hi
I was using a plugin to enable child cats to drop-down when selecting the parent cat.
I was using this code:
Could someone help me integrate this code into my site please?
Thanks
Rich
Hey Rich,
please let me know where you want to integrate the Fold Page list.
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks for replying Chris. In the sidebar menu replacing the long list of cats that are there currently.
See Lostwithiel

Hi Chris
If you take a look at the Lostwithiel site, I am hoping that in the categories menu on the far right we end up with something like:
Lostwithiel Accommodation
Lostwithiel Eating
Lostwithiel Shops
Lostwithiel Services
Lostwithiel Community
Photos
Things to do
Then when we click on Accommodation it folds down to reveal all the child cats. I have been trying to do it using a plugin but I have also looked at using the drop downs idea that comes with the standard Thematic, but I'm not getting anywhere with it!
Thanks for all the help.
Rich
Ok .. so I guess your favorite would be a widget :-)
Take a look here: King Pages
It uses the Folder Page List plugin. Haven't checked it 'til now, but it's mentioned by the author of Folder Page List.
Cheers,
Chris
Hi Chris
Running into problems - you might be able to help. I am trying to install the king_pages widget. The only instruction is to put it:
Copy king-pages.php into your plugins widget folder -> where your widgets.php is !!!
Any idea where that is please? There seems to be several places it could go. I will try them all if necessary!
Thanks
Rich
Just create a folder 'widgets' under your child theme folder second_to_none and copy the king-pages.php into this new widgets folder.
There's a lot of magic behind Thematic ;-)
I've done that and still can't see anything! Do I need to put widgets.php there as well please? Sorry for causing so much trouble and thanks for bearing with me.
Rich
Will be back with you in approx. 1 hour .. need to pick up my son from the kindergarten.

:( .. support ends with WP 2.2
.. will try to find something similar later on today
Rich, I'll have a working solution for you tomorrow. Need to do some tests.
Cheers,
Chris
Ok .. got it .. it's Folder Category List and not Folder Page List .. my fault!
Anyway here's some code to implement in your child theme's functions.php:
function widget_thematic_foldercategorylist($args) {
extract($args);
if ( empty($title) )
$title = __('Folder Category List', 'thematic');
echo $before_widget;
echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>
<ul>
<?php wswwpx_fold_category_list ('hide_empty=0&title_li=&exclude=1,4,6,9,11,14,17,26,29,236,251,264'); ?>
</ul>
<?php echo $after_widget;
}
register_sidebar_widget(__('Folder Category List', 'thematic'), 'widget_thematic_foldercategorylist', null, 'foldercategorylist');Tested and approved!
I haven't coded a user interface for the widget. If you need to change the title, change the line $title = __(...
If you want to change the parameters for the function call, change the line
<?php wswwpx_fold_category_list (...
Cheers,
Chris
