Displaying categories in two-level dropline

  • Hello, I found a great tutorial about displaying pages and child pages in a very nice dropline, but I need the same functionality for categories instead.

    The original code:

    <ul id="nav">
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

<?php if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul id="subnav">
<?php echo $children; ?>

<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>

    Is there any way to change things around to display categories? I understand I need to use wp_list_categories instead, but I’m guessing the $post variable will be different for categories?

    Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

    Justine

    Shameless bump. Anyone able to help?

    I also noticed I didn’t close the ul tags. So the code should be:

    <ul id="nav">
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
<./ul>

<?php if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>

<ul id="subnav">
<?php echo $children; ?>
<./ul>

<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>

    Edit: Please ignore the dots in closing tags. Couldn’t make the preview here work without them.
