   I want to have a category widget which shows all categories in the same family as the current category, or lists the top categories only if no category is selected.

   eg; If I have these categories:

   Cat1
   - cat1.1
   - cat1.1.1
   - cat1.2
   -cat1.2.1
   - cat1.3
   Cat2
   - cat2.1
   - cat2.2
   Cat3
   - cat3.3

   And if I am in category "cat1.2" I want it to list all categories from Cat1 down and nothing else, or only the top of Cat2 and Cat3.

   I have searched but can't find anything to do this
   Thanks!

   little more help please?

   What I've come up with so far is
   

   if ( is_category() ) {
     $current_cat = $cat->category_parent;
   
     wp_list_categories('&title_li=&show_count=1&child_of='.$current_cat);
   }

   This seems to show all categories, while below only shows the sub categories

   if ( is_category() ) {
     $current_cat = get_query_var('cat');
     wp_list_categories('&title_li=&show_count=1&child_of='.$current_cat);
   }

   I need it to go just one or two parents higher, and list all below.
