Plugin Category

This wiki plugin will display a list of categories and objects assigned to those categories. Options let you decide what level of category, what types of objects to list, how they should be sorted, whether to show subcategories, and whether multiple category displays should be split.

How to Determine a Category ID (without guessing)

Browse the categories (see Category User), hover over a category item, and look at the browser's status bar and note the ID number.

How to Change Default Number of Records

By default the plugin limits output to 50 records. You can change this in lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_category.php

Examples

Sort first on imageId and then name

Copy to clipboard
{category id="1" types="img" sort="itemId_asc,name_asc"}

Sort first on articleId and then name

Copy to clipboard
{category id="1" types="article" sort="itemId_asc,name_asc"}

On this site

This code:

Copy to clipboard
{category id="1" sub="n"}


Would produce on this site:

Category: Status

Wrong

No brackets around the id number:

Copy to clipboard
{category id="[2]" types="faq"}

Correct

Copy to clipboard
{category id="2" types="faq+blog+article"}
Copy to clipboard
{category types="wiki" sort="created_asc"}
Copy to clipboard
{category split="y"}
Copy to clipboard
{category}
