Plugin Category

This plugin will display a list of categories and objects assigned to those categories. Options let you decide what level of category, what types of objects to list, how they should be sorted, whether to show subcategories, and whether multiple category displays should be split.

Usage

Below is an example showing the syntax: 

{CATEGORY(id=1+2+3, types=article+blog+faq+fgal+forum+igal+newsletter+ event+poll+quiz+survey+tracker+wiki+img, sort=name_asc, sub=y, split=y, and=n)}{CATEGORY}

Parameter Accepted Values Effect Since
id list of IDs separated by + or the string 'current' all the objects that belongs to at least one of these categories will be listed
types list of object types separated by + (or * for all types) a type can be article or blog or faq or fgal or forum or igal or newsletter or poll or quiz or survey or tracker or wiki or img - * means all
sort type, created, name or hits followed by _ and asc or desc (default: name_asc) example: created_asc will sort by ascending creation date
sub y or n display items of subcategories. (default: y)
split y or n when displaying multiple categories, whether they should be split or not. (default: y)
and y or n if set to y, only objects in all of the categories listed will shown. (default: n)
showname y or n Show the name. (default: y) tw >= 5.0
showdescription y or n Show description. (default: n) tw >=5.0
showtype y or n Show type. (default: y) tw >=5.0
one y or n Show one object per line. (default: n) tw <=1.10, tw >=5.0
showlinks y or n Show links to browse_category on the children categories. (default:y) tw >=6.0
categoryshowlink y or n Show links to browse_category on the top category. (default:y) tw >=6.0

How to Determine a Category ID (without guessing)

Browse the categories (see Category User), hover over a category item, and look at the browser's status bar and note the ID number.

Examples

Sort first on imageId and then name

{CATEGORY(id=1, types=img, sort="itemId_asc,name_asc")}{CATEGORY}

Sort first on articleId and then name

{CATEGORY(id=1, types=article, sort="itemId_asc,name_asc")}{CATEGORY}

On this site

This code, 

^{CATEGORY(id=1,sub=n)}{CATEGORY}^

Would produce:

Category: Status

Wrong

{CATEGORY(id=>[2]types=>faq)}{CATEGORY}

Correct

{CATEGORY(id=2,types=faq+blog+article)}{CATEGORY}

{CATEGORY(types=wiki,sort=created_asc)}{CATEGORY}

{CATEGORY(split=y)}{CATEGORY}

{CATEGORY()}{CATEGORY}
