klarabellaHello everybody,
I'm sorry if my request sounds a little confusing.
I want to use WordPress more like a CMS and melt category and page navigation a bit. At the moment my blog is showing one horizontal main navigation menu at the top with the following links:
Home | Top Cat 1 | Top Cat 2 | Page 1 | Page 2
To make this work I'm currently using the blog-in-blog plugin which links categories to pages. The home page is a static page. All these links are the top level and always shown.
Now I wanted to show at the top of the sidebar
+ when viewing a subcategory or post inside of Top Cat 1
- Sub Cat 1.1
- Sub Cat 1.2
- Sub Cat 1.3
-- Sub Cat 1.3.1
- Sub Cat 1.4
+ when viewing a subcategory or post inside of Top Cat 2
- Sub Cat 2.1
- Sub Cat 2.2
-- Sub Cat 2.2.1
- Sub Cat 2.3
- Sub Cat 2.4
+ when viewing a Page 1 or a subpage of it
-Sub Page 1.1
-- Sub Page 1.1.2
- Sub Page 1.2
I already tried the information given here by t31os_ and snatched a bit of code. It does what it should on the categories but doesn't work when viewing a single post and of course the part for the pages is missing.
<?php
if(is_category() || is_single()) {
$breakpoint = 0;
$subcategories = get_terms('category', 'parent='.get_query_var('cat'));
$thiscat = get_term(get_query_var('cat'),'category');
while(empty($subcategories)) {
$subcategories = get_terms('category', 'parent='.$thiscat->parent.'');
$breakpoint++;
if($breakpoint > 10) break; // Avoid infinite loop (you never know)
}
$items='';
foreach($subcategories as $subcat) {
if($thiscat->term_id == $subcat->term_id) $current = ' current-cat'; else $current = '';
$items .= '
<li class="cat-item cat-item-'.$subcat->term_id.$current.'">
<a href="'.get_category_link( $subcat->term_id ).'" title="'.$subcat->description.'">'.$subcat->name.'</a>
</li>';
}
$dyntitle = get_cat_name( $subcat->parent );
$wrapcat .= '
<div class="widget categories widget-categories">
<div class="widget-inside">
<h3 class="widget-title">'.$dyntitle.'</h3>
<ul class="categories">'.$items.'
</ul></div></div>';
echo "$wrapcat";
}
?>I guess this is too complicated for what I want to do?
I'd be so happy if somebody could help me. Thank you very much in advance.
