Is there a plugin, or way, that can display categories in a "collapsible" tree like menu? I'm using the great "catbrowser" plugin (which is like the default listbrowser plugin) I found on pagesetter.org but would like to hide sub-categories from view, since I have a lot of them. Thanks for any help.

I came up with a quick and dirty fix that sort of accomplishes what I am trying to do. Instead of a collapsible, tree menu, it's a drop down box.
I'm using the catbrowser plugin b/c I like having the pub. count in my categories. I'm using it like so:
Code
<!--[pagesetter_CatBrowser additionalvars="orderby=lastname:asc" field="category" listClass="kb1" showcount="yes" trim="no"]-->
I modified _CatBrowser.php like so:
Code
function pagesetter_CatBrowser_rec(&$items, &$i, $indent, $size, &$url_parameters, &$setup)
{
if (isset($setup['listClass']) && $i == 0)
// $html = "<ul class=\"$setup[listClass]\">\n";
$html = "<select name=\"catid\" class=\"pn-text\" onchange=\"window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')\" ><option value=\"Select\">Select</option>\n";
else
$html = "<ul>\n";
..then a little further down:
Code
$url = pnModUrl('pagesetter', 'user', '', $url_parameters);
if ($setup['currentValue'] == $item['id'])
//$html .= "<li><span class=\"current\"><a href=\"$url&orderby=lastname:asc\">$item[title]</a></span>\n";
$html .= "<option title=\"$item[title]\" value=\"$url&orderby=lastname:asc\">$item[title]</a></option>\n";
else
// $html .= "<li$className><a href=\"$url&orderby=lastname:asc\">$item[title]</a>\n";
$html .= "<option title=\"$item[title]\" value=\"$url&orderby=lastname:asc\">$item[title]</a></option>\n";
}
Pretty simple fix. I'd still like to have a way to distinguish sub-categories instead of having one big colossal drop down box. Check out how http://cityweav….com/index.php was done to get an idea of what I mean.
Later!
