Anyone know how billguy did his catbrowser plugin? He has it working at cityweaver.com

Explain:

When you click on a category you see...

Category: Cityweaver > housing

SUB-CATEGORIES:

* apt / housing
* rooms / shared
* sublets / short-term
* office / commercial
* vacation rentals (2)
* parking / storage
* housing for sale
* housing wanted

When you click on a subcategory, you see the subcategories of this category...

Category: Cityweaver > housing > vacation rentals

SUB-CATEGORIES:

* hostels
* hotels
* general (2)

How can I do it? With my catbrowser plugin the user see all the categories and subcategories and sub-subcategories, etc. and i need something like this hack to improve the navigation through categories and subcategories.

A lot of thanks :)

PS: sorry for my english :(

Any idea? Is this a modification of the catBrowser plugin?

Can anyone help me, please?

Have you found a solution to do it ?

It would be very usefull ! :-O

This is as close as you'll come though I don't think it's exactly what you want.

Perhaps storing the data in arrays and then using a custom inlineList template would achieve your desired result...

Thanks for your help but I've ever tryed this tutorial but it doesn't display the same thing of the picture.

It displays a scroll menu like the menu "Select code type" when you whant to paste code on this forum.

Have ever tryed to display category like this picture ?

I am the one that made the CatBrowser plugin. It was always my intention of making the output of that totally skinable, and I am sure that if you could skin the output you could just drop it into the code to make a treeview, but I am not sure. I never came across an easy way to make plugin output skinable. If anyone has any tips of where to look for this I'll add it to CatBrowser.

Take Care,
Mike

I haven't really gotten into the catBrowser plugin but I assume it creates an array of the categories and subcategories and dumbs it into $url which then gets turned into a select menu? If so couldn't one just use smarty's <foreach> or <section> to pull the data out or $url and format it another way?

It's all about arrays... everything's about arrays...

Then again someone could just contact Vince and ask him for the plugin...



</section></foreach>

I'm not an expert of smarty so I will try to ask Vince for the plugin...

Did his login is "vpuzzella" ?

I believe this is exactly what you are looking for...no? Created by none other than Mike (Ferretlover)



I believe the call for "listClass" enables one to create a CSS style for the list. Bingo.

Here's a quickie on CSS lists formating:

I'd have to look at the code later to know for sure though

I've ever seen this solution but I hadn't CSS style to do it !

I will try with your URL ;)

Thanks a lot

From my searchings all of the css treeview type viewers seem to use javascript as well as css. Does anyone know of a good open source treeview css code? It is easy to get the css in there when you call the list(at least some, but I am thinking not quite enough for what the treeview takes). The JS would need to be either put into the template(as long as the JS code would not need to be dynamic), could add treeview as an option in catbrowser(may bloat the code), or make a separate plugin to make the treeview.

What do you guys think? Or if any of you want to take a stab at putting it in there, go for it! :-)

Take Care,
Mike

I'm sorry but I'm not enough good in english to understand what you say :-(

I've try to find solution to display list like a table but without success.
I've only found the solution of : "display: inline" but it isn't the same thing...

This CSS seems nice and close enough.

Again, without testing and playing I can't ensure that this is ready to go out of the box but it looks good to me...

This CSS is nice as you have said but it's always the same probl?me : it only make one colonne so it's ever too long and it's the same thing of a classical list...

It will be so nice if we could display differents colonnes.
