Is it possible to hold the "What's Cool" template to just the top level categories? But still take into effect all links within the subcategories below the category.

Now:

XCategory : XSubcategory : XXSubcategory
Link Name and Data

Preferred:

XCategory
Link Name and Data

Thanks in advance!

You could remove the grouping (to get rid of the categories from the output) then a variation on the root cats global :

sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $cat_db = $DB->table('Category');
my @root_cats = $cat_db->select (['Full_Name'], { FatherID => 0 })->fetchall_list;
my $output;
foreach my $root_cat (@root_cats) {
my $url = $cat_db->as_url($root_cat);
$output .= qq~<a href="$CFG->{build_root_url}/$url">$root_cat</a><br>~;
}
return $output;
}

This would have to be modified so it would display only the rootcat which is a parent of the current link id (I am pretty sure links already has a bit of code which checks to see if a link is a child of a category)

EDIT: hmmm... sorry my solution is still garbage.. I looked at build.pm (lines 338 - 347) where the loop is produced. Better to make a global than change this.

So, not something you would suggest eh?

With so many subcats (same as yours) it makes it a real issue to find the What's Cool for the category of choice. I thought that by trimming it down to just pulling the top per category it would make it only a page or two deep.

Just an idea. Thanks though!

My personal preference is to include the categories with each link... that tidies it up a little I find.

No, that looks great but I have 34 pages of What's Cool so I was looking for a way to limiit the output to about 2 or so pages at most for all categories.

Hmmm, maybe just the link title's like in Remote Count? Or a variation on that concept would be good.

This would be the output that I would like:
Airline Industry
AB Airlines pop
http://www.abairlines.com/

Appliance Industry
Top Link from this category
Audio Industry
Top Link from this category
Aviation Industry
Top Link from this category
Beer Industry
Top Link from this category
and so on...

If I were able to do this I would have 27 links showing (currently). Remote Count is GREAT but it would not be able to do this style of output. This is more along the lines of Five Cats and the way IT thinks.

The output would be the most popular per category.

I may have what you want...private message incoming...
