show subcategories of father-category
Hi!

My category has several subcategories, which are shown as menu. But if I visit one of the subcategories, I also want to see the same menu as seen in the window before.

That means, when I am in a subcategory I always want to see all the other subcategories, can call them sistercategories.

How can I do this?

Thanks for helping!

Tina

Hi,

What global do you currently use? I'm not quite sure I understand your question :/

Cheers

She wants subcategories of a category (probably title linked) to be returned.
I think she doesn't use global for this, yet.

EDIT: Hmm. Probably something different.
It seems, she wants maximum the 2nd level subcategories displayed into the menu.
So level 1, and level 2 categories, but nothing deeper...

Hi Webmaster33,

that's exactly what I meant.

Example:
Fathercategory
- Sub 1
- Sub 2
- Sub 3

If I am at the Fathercategory the menu "sub1, sub2, sub 3" should be shown and if I am in sub 1 the same
menu with "sub1, sub2, sub3" should be shown.

At the moment I am not using globals.

Thanks, Tina

Yes, I understand.

Andy might help you with a free global for this task.
Unfortunately I rarely do plugins, globals for free.

I might be missing something, here, but isn't this the "Yahoo Subcats" plugin?

Take a look at http://debtcure.com, or http://starwarslinks.com some categories have sub categories beyond the home page,

Minor changes (which I posted waaaaay back) let you alter the display from the default, to one-per-line, or other.

If what you are looking for is a category sidebar, I *think* code for that was posted awhile back -- 2-3 years, and it's running on one of my sites, but I can't remember which.

There is new code in links 2.99 that should allow this to be done more easily, and "on the fly" although storing/caching it would increase performance significantly.

This might be something I look at just to see how Links is working with the tree code

Thanks, Pugdog, that sounds great.

But I could not find the place to download the YahooSubcats-Plugin!
On this page it is listed, but there is no link for downloading, on ultranerds I did not find it also.

Perhaps you can help me again, thanks!!!

If you are running 2.99.x, it's the VERY LAST plugin listed in the downloads area.

You can search on "yahoo subcats" and "pugdog" for the changes that make it behave differently.
