Categories hierachy

  • Hi guys!
    I need to present categories in the sidebar in a hierarchical way. Like this:

    Category 1
- Sub-category 1
- Sub-category 2

Category 2
- Sub-category 3
- Sub-category 4

    The problem is that only the default theme shows categories like that. All the other themes I have tried show categories in the same level even if they are sub categories. For example:

    Category 1
Sub-category 1
Sub-category 2
Sub-category 3
Category 2
Sub-category 4

    How can I make any theme to show categories in a hierarchical way?

    Thanks in advance.

  • That template tag has a hierarchical (yes/no) parameter. Use it. Although the default is “yes”.

    style your nested ULs in the sidebar.

    for instance:

    ul, li { margin:0; }
    ul ul, ul ul ul { margin-left: 10px; }

    (or do it with the ‘li’ element instead, up to you ??

    or… you can use the built-in classes

    .children {margin-left: 10px;}

    the children class appears on the UL tag for child categories.

    you probably have a definition which removes all margins from ULs and LIs… but without nesting your definitions, the margins will be removed from all of them (even the children)

    Thank you very much, moshu.
    The parameter hierarchy was set to “0” and I changed it to “1”.

    I thought I took the safer bet, to be honest… since I figured something staring at you saying ‘hierarchical=0’ would tip you off ??

    *giggles*

    I am trying to do the same thing with my categories. Where do I find the parameter hierarchy to change it to 1?
