But these are two separate mods..... the fact that Glen's managed to get them to work in sync is a marvel..... chcategories is not Glen's mod so the fact he's helping you configure it is something you should be grateful for :-)

Oh, believe me I AM thankful!!! Glen, you rock, man!

Just spell my name correctly and I'll be happy ;)

So no one has figured out a way to uncollapse the subcatagories to the first level of subcatagories only I take it?

Thanks, Tim.

Categories Dressing with its Uncollapsed Categories option can be set to display pretty much any rational set of categories, including top & first subs only.

That's great i've downloaded and installed it but find it a bit confusing.

Any possiblity you could explain how to do just that?

Thanks, Tim.

I thought this would do it

Code:

---

define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '2|0|1');

---

But this shows all subcvats rather than just to the 1st level

There is a bit of ommission in the comments for that.
//active: 0=all tops/
should say
//active: 0=all cats, level control/
as that setting lets the level controls apply equally to all categories.
So you would use

PHP Code:

---

define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '0|0|1'); 


---

I think it was left over from when the mod didn't apply to expanded categories, so "all tops" was the only possibility. It is fixed for the next version of Cat Dressing, to be released as soon as I finish final testing.

Thanks again. That has solved the more than 1 subcat opening, but now it doesn't open even when you click on the subcat. There is no way around that?

Sorry for being a pain.

You didn't say that you wanted active sub-subcats to show in the sidebox. Some people don't. In that case, you would use setting 4:

//3=full active tree, others per level/4=like 3, active branches only

PHP Code:

---

define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '4|0|1');

If you want something different yet, other criteria can be coded in and the define choices extended.
