Is it possible to compress the list of the categories?

[maria]

My use of serendipity is based in creating a lot of categories, so, in the template view, viewing all the categories, parents and childrens, is quite difficult to us.....I would like a tree structure of categories based on display them if one believes that is necessary, some menu with '+' option,
in the index page, showing only the parent ones, and then with the '+' option, view the childrens.
In oder words: Some way to compress the list of categories at the view of index page.

I don't know if it's easy to fix that I am over looking... but I figured that someone would be able to help me ...

Thanks!!

Something like this one?

Thanks Davy for your quickly answer, I've tried to install your plugin, but a message appears in the index.php screen saying:

Please install PEAR package HTML_TreeMenu to enable this plugin.

So, I can't see the working of the serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu.php plugin.

do you know when I can find the PEAR package HTML_TreeMenu in order to install?

Thanks very very much!!

Hi!

The easiest way should be to install the "HTML/Tree" files into your "bundled-libs" directory from s9y. There, s9y should find it automatically.

Sorry for my missunderstanding, but I don't know exactly what do you mean.
I've put the package as /doc/serendipity/bundled-libs/HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0 , and in that directory I've:
docs images imagesAlt imagesAlt2 TreeMenu.js TreeMenu.php

should it be enough?
What I should do in order that this takes effect?

THANKS in capital letters!

Hi!

Put the files in

/doc/serendipity/bundled-libs/HTML/

!

HTH,
Garvin

OK, now I've HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0 without any problems in my blog.
But I can't have the plugin:
serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu.zip working as I desired, it means, I would like to have the view of parent categories only, and the children compressed, with a "+" sign or similar in order to have the possibility to expand the tree.
Do I need to configure something else?

Thanks for ever,

Maria

Hi!

How does it look now? What's your URL?

It should offer you inflatable categories!

Regards,
Garvin

My url is http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/index.php but I think that is forbidden from out of Alcatel-Lucent.

No, I can't view the inflatable categories, my view is:

Categories
customers
orange
orange071206
ONO MVNO
platforms



All categories

The configuration of this plugin is:

Name: Category Tree Menu
Description: DHTML category menu. Requires PEAR::HTML_TreeMenu.

Title

Path to images
The absolute (URL) path to your images directory

Here there is: plugins/serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu/img

Path to HTMLTree.js
the absolute (url) path to your HTMLTree.js (provided with PEAR::HTML_TreeMenu).

Here there is: plugins/serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu/TreeMenu.js

but the img and TreeMenu.js doesn't exist, is it correct??
[root@sewebt serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu]# pwd
/doc/serendipity/plugins/serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu


[root@sewebt serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu]# ls
CVS lang_en.inc.php serendipity_plugin_category_dhtml_menu.php
lang_bg.inc.php lang_ja.inc.php UTF-8

[maria]

I've modified the configuration of the plugin in order to point to the /doc/serendipity/bundled-libs/HTML and now the category menu is working properly.
Great!!
