Hi,

There seems to be a little confusion here between ‘categories’ and ‘pages’. They are distinctly different things in WP terminology.

The fold page list plugin does exactly what wishfull above describes, but for pages.

If what you want is to be doing this for ‘categories’ then it is the fold category list plugin that you need.

A download link and explanation of use is available from the Fold Category List support page

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

A new version of Fold Page List has been released (v1.5) resolving an issue where the ‘page_folder’ class was being applied to pages that had no sub-pages. The problem was triggered by attachments on a page, so if you had no attachments the problem wouldn’t arise.

The new version is available from the usual Fold Page List support page.

Also, to perhaps answer jfugere’s question, the King Widgets available from MediaProjekte offer sidebar widgetry that is compatible with both Fold Page List and Fold Category List plugins.

Best regards

Hi KK,

I’m the author of the Fold Category List (and similar Fold Page List) plugin.

If your current call to wp_list_cats is as you say, then you replace it with wswwpx_fold_category_list such that it looks similar, thus:

<?php wswwpx_fold_category_list(); ?>

The $args used in the documentation page can be any/all of the arguments accepted by the built-in function, or can be left out completely, as is the case with your setup.

Hope that helps some. If not, you can contact me through the email address in the head of the Fold_Category_List plugin.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

I’d have to say that’s kind of odd. Can you send me the call you are using to invoke the plugin so I can exactly duplicate things here to check. My email address is in the head of the plugin itself.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

There may be a good reason why nothing happened. Fold Page List is intended for folding the page navigation, not category navigation list. Fold Category List is the one for handling the category list. If you have tried FCL and still don’t get what you are looking for, please send details to the email address in the header of the plugin so that assistance can be provided.

From what you describe in the opening post of this thread FCL is exactly what you are looking for.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

Your description of requirements (unless I’m missing something) is exactly what Fold Category List is designed to do.

If you are having problems getting it to work, please contact me via the email address in the header of the plugin.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

The fold_page_list plugin supports the standard argument list of wp_list_pages, so should support everythying that the original wp function does, and then some more.

If you find that it doesn’t work in that way then contact me (the email in in the head of the plugin) and I’ll see what can be done.

In general though, if the functionality you want _is_ in wp_list_pages, then it’s also there in fold_page_list.

Best regards

Rob

Hi Sydsum,

Sorry for the delay…

To start with your second problem first, if your call to wp_list_pages was as you describe above, then the equivalent call to wswwpx_fold_page_list would also be similar:

‘<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list (‘title_li=<h2>’ . __(‘Pages’) . ‘</h2>’ ); ?>’

The bit between the ( & ) being the ‘$args’ in the sample call. $fullunfold defaults to false, so the effect should be to collapse the entire list to just its top level, andto then unfold one level at a time as you click into your page hierarchy. If you were to pass $fullunfold as ‘true’:

‘<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list (‘title_li=<h2>’ . __(‘Pages’) . ‘</h2>’, true ); ?>’

then clicking on a top level would fully unfold its hierarchy.

Now, back to your first problem…

wswpg_linkttl is the key you need to specify (type in) to add a new key to the list. Once added you can simply select it from the list, but first time you have to type it into the input field. You then add the rollover text you want to use to the textarea to the right of the key. This will be used as the value. To illustrate, if you want the text “Some interesting thoughts on things” to appear as a rollover (tooltip) on a link to a page, then add the value “Some interesting thoughts on things” to a custom field with the key ‘wswpg_linkttl’

Hope that helps…

Hi,

An update to the Fold Page List plugin was recently uploaded and can be obtained through the download link on the Fold Page List support page.

This update (v1.3) includes a compatibility fix that will allow the subscribe2 plugin to be used at the same time as the polyglot plugin with Fold Page List active.

It also makes publicly available a long-standing fix that makes Fold Page List compatible with the application of filters to the page list… This should have been included a while back, but wasn’t uploaded to the server until now.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

Just updated the plugin to fix a really silly bug affecting truncation of posts based upon a word count. Breaking based on a sentence count was unaffected and continues to work OK.

Full details are available on the Content Extract support page, from where the new version can also be downloaded.

Cheers

Rob

Can you be a bit more specific. Is what still a problem?

Rob

Hi,

The first problem suggests a css issue, so needs addressing in your stylesheet.

The second, I’m not sure I completely understand. Can you post a link to the site or a development page where the problem can be seen first hand.

I’d also potentially need to see how you are calling the wswwpx_fold_page_list function in the sidebar.

Lastly, there is a support email address in the header of the plugin… and a contact form on the website. These are better places to raise problems than here in the support forum since they reach me directly, getting seen and attended to more quickly than if they come here.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

I need to extend the plugin to support the hierarchy that fold_page_list does. Top-down that would be:

Ancestor -> parent -> current

It’s on the to-do list

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

As things stand you would have to treat parent and child menus separately… with different calls to the function.

If the two menus are presented separately, as would be the case of parent pages being in the masthead and children in the sidebar, that would be a viable option, and doable now with the plugin as it stands.

If, on the other hand, you still wish to keep parents and children alike in the same integrated (nested) menu, then the plugin would need some modification along the lines you describe.

Consider it added to the to-do list.

Best regards

Rob

Hi,

If not upgraded already, the problem goes away with firefox 1.5.0.1 (just how long can a version number get??)

Mac OS X 10.3.9, WP2.0

Cheers

Rob
