Hello t31os_
“If you only ever want to display sub-categories of the current category (and only when they exist) i can actually trim the above down somewhat, you don’t need the while loop if you’re never showning top level or parent categories…”
I tried trimming it down and I can’t get it to work. I only want to show the sub-categories in the body area if there are any. I have the parent categories listed already in the header.
Here is what I’m using…
<?php
if(is_category()) {
$breakpoint = 0;
$thiscat = get_term( get_query_var('cat') , 'category' );
$subcategories = get_terms( 'category' , 'parent='.get_query_var('cat') );
if(empty($subcategories) && $thiscat->parent != 0) {
$subcategories = get_terms( 'category' , 'parent='.$thiscat->parent.'' );
}
$items='';
if(!empty($subcategories)) {
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.'">'.$subcat->name.'</a>
</li>';
}
echo "<ul>$items</ul>";
}
unset($subcategories,$subcat,$thiscat,$items);
}
?>
