   Hi,

   I want to code this into my sidebar as opposed to using widgets. I have about 10 categories so I want to use conditional tags to call specific focal lists. Can I do this?

   Thanks
   Stacey

   Hi

   Take a look at this plugin Fold Category List
   http://www.webspaceworks.com/resources/wordpress/31/
   which is intended for use as code, not as a widget. It does work with the current version of WP. Make sure you read the instructions.

   Hi Stacey,

   you can include a focal list anywhere within a template using the code on this page: http://www.lonewolfdesigns.co.uk/focal/2/

   I have also included a sample below.

   <?php
   $focal = new FoldingCategoryList();
   
   $focal->widget_FocalWidget(); // default
   or
   $focal->widget_FocalWidget($args); // passing widget args
   or
   $focal->widget_FocalWidget($args, 2); // where 2 is the widget number
   ?>

   $args are the standard widget arguments from http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets_Api/register_sidebar. You can pass null and a number if you wish: $focal->widget_FocalWidget(null, 2) to show focal list number 2.

   Hope that helps.

   Tim

   Hi there,

   I don't know if you are still offering support for this.

   I have the widget on a sidebar of my theme but it doesn't seem to pick up new categories when I make them or new posts in the categories when I make them.

   I have tried rebuilding the cache but that doesn't seem to work.
