01: # Fancy Categories For Wordpress #
02:
03: This is a very simple plugin that uses Javascript to form a collapsable set of
04: links in the sidebar for the categories. Each sub category will be placed
05: "below" its parent in a logical hierarchy.
06:
07: ## Demo ##
08:
09: You can view a demo of this plugin at my Wordpess demo page [here][1].
10:
11: ## Installation ##
12:
13: Unpackage contents to wp-content/plugins/ so that the files are in a
14: fancy-archives directory. Now enable the plugin. To use the plugin, change the
15: following where appropriate (most likely sidebar.php):
16:
17: <?php wp_list_categories(...); ?>
18:
19: To something of the following:
20:
21: <?php
22: if( function_exists('list_fancy_categories') ) {
23: echo "<li>\n<h2>Categories</h2>";
24: list_fancy_categories();
25: echo "</li>\n";
26: } else {
27: wp_list_categories(...);
28: }
29: ?>
30:
31: **Note:** Replace the above `...` with whatever the correct arguments for your
32: theme are.
33:
34: The above will fall back to the WP function for categories if you disable the
35: plugin.
36:
37: Options for the Fancy Categories plugin include:
38:
39: * Show post count in category links
40: * Include sub-category totals in parent link
41: * Text to show for category link (%title, etc)
42: * Limit title length to a set number of characters
43: * Add a '...' to the end of shortened category titles
44:
45: Fancy Categories also looks at the current URL of the user's browser to
46: determine if the user is looking at a category page. If the URL is a category
47: page, that category is auto-magically expanded. This allows even those without
48: javascript to enjoy this plugin.
