Integrating Category Hierarchy Can't Post
Hello!

Prior to switching to AM for my article management needs, I manually created a nested heirarchy of links to my site's categories, which looked much like this:




My one question is, then, how may I replicate this effect with AM? It's important that the hierarchy not include the currently selected index, and that the heirarchy display only two levels down beneath the present index...

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

I've now been able to figure out how to implement the automatic insertion of images based on which grade in the heirarchy the category stands.

But after editing the category_list.html file, I now have two outstanding problems with this... See image below:




1) The category hierarchy is reversed with the parent category on the bottom of the list, rather than the top.

2) The "parent" category should be a subcategory! The list is displaysing the currently selected category and the subcategories residing one level beneath it. But I really don't want the presently viewed category to be part of this listing at all; rather I would like to display all subcategories 1 level down, with subcategories two levels down being displayed beneath that in indented form.

Is there some custom code I must implement to make this work? =|

Hi Silvatti.

I was just going over this thread and I think we had actually been covering this in a separate thread:

http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/Products_C2/Article_Manager_F2/%5BTesting_Solution%5D_Ok.._just_one_more_time_%3D%5D_P49476/

If these were two different ideas, could you let me know? I want to make sure that we cover everything you are trying to setup Smile.

Yes! Actually, this is the same issue. I will provide an update on this seperate thread to ensure continuity. Thanks!
