Collapsing Categories vs Folders – Unlimited Folders to Organize Media Library Folder, Pages, Posts, File Manager

Collapsing Categories creates an expandable list of categories and subcategories. It can also expand to show posts. The primary usage is as a widget, but you can also use the code in your theme manually if you wish (see installation instructions) Options Options can be set from the block panel. If you wish to insert the code into your theme manually instead of using a widget, you can use the following options. These options can be given to the collapsCat() function either as an array or in query style, in the same manner as the wp_list_categories function. $defaults=array( 'showPostCount' => true, 'inExclude' => 'exclude', 'inExcludeCats' => '', 'showPosts' => true, 'showPages' => false, 'linkToCat' => true, 'olderThan' => 0, 'excludeAll' => '0', 'catSortOrder' => 'ASC', 'catSort' => 'catName', 'postSortOrder' => 'ASC', 'postSort' => 'postTitle', 'expand' => '0', 'defaultExpand' => '', 'postTitleLength' => 0, 'accordion' => 0, 'catfeed' => 'none', 'taxonomy' => 'category', 'showPostDate' => false, 'postDateAppend' => 'after', 'postDateFormat' => 'm/d', 'useCookies' => true, 'showTopLevel' => true, 'postsBeforeCats' => false, 'expandCatPost' => true, 'debug'=>'0' ); inExclude Whether to include or exclude certain categories ‘exclude’ (default) ‘include’ inExcludeCats The categories which should be included or excluded showPages Whether or not to include pages as well as posts.

Possible values: ‘0’ Triangles (default) ‘1’ + – ‘2’ [+] [-] ‘3’ images (you can upload your own if you wish) ‘4’ custom symbols customExpand If you have selected ‘4’ for the expand option, this character will be used to mark expandable link categories customCollapse If you have selected ‘4’ for the expand option, this character will be used to mark collapsible link categories postTitleLength Truncate post titles to this number of characters (default: 0 = don’t truncate) accordion When set to true, expanding one category closes all others at that level catfeed Whether to add a link to the rss feed for a category.

When false, categories are always display collapsed (unless explicitly set to auto-expand). Possible values: 1 (true) (default) 0 (false) showTopLevel When set to false, the top level category will not be shown.

Use this option if you are having problems Examples collapsCat('catSort=ASC&expand=3&inExcludeCats=general,uncategorized') This will produce a list with: * categories shown in alphabetical order * using images to mark collapsing and expanding * exclude posts from the categories general and uncategorized ` ‘postDate’, ‘postSortOrder’ => ‘DESC’, ) ); } else { wp_get_categories(‘your_options_here’); } echo “ \n”; ?> ` Demo I use this plugin in my blog at http://robfelty.com CAVEAT Currently this plugin relies on Javascript to expand and collapse the links. If a user’s browser doesn’t support javascript they won’t see the links to the posts, but the links to the categories will still work (which is the default behavior in wordpress anyways)
