@Tom,

Whoops, I just realized I had the ‘home’ set wrong in the database. That test site should look better now. Here is my suggestion. Set up a brand new wp 2.7 install, and try it out that way. I still think it might have to do with the version of mysql.

@amenity,

Currently the plugin is designed to be used either as a widget or manually, but not both. Here is a workaround. Find out the id number of your collapsing category widget by looking at the html source. You should see something like:

<li id="collapscat-299723351" class="widget collapsCat"><h2 class="widgettitle">Categories</h2>

Then, insert the following code where you would like to have it:

 collapsCat(299723351) ?>

Can I use this widget outside of the sidebar as well? It works so beautifully, I’d like to have it on a page to browse categories.

Rob,

I did another download and install of the development version. No change at all. I removed the distinct from the postquery, it didn’t seem to change anything either. On that testblog, the listing looks good, but nothing happens when I click on anything. Is that supposed to be like that?

I am thinking I really need to set up a test blog and go through my plugins. I know of at least one intermittent problem that screws with my dashboard if I load any of 3 plugins.

@Mitch, that is a good idea for a feature. It might take me awhile to work on it though.

@Jezzoo – I’m working on fixing these issues. Please try the development version.

@Tom – look here:

(and do one more update). My guess is that it might have to do with your old version of mysql, since the postquery is not returning anything. I don’t have an old version of mysql to play around with. One tip. I tried removing DISTINCT from the postquery in collapscatlist.php, and it doesn’t seem to display duplicates. Maybe that would work with mysql 4.0

Rob, No joy here. With these settings, I get this on page load and this when I expand everything. Posts still don't show no matter how I set it. If if is working on the copy of my database, then there must be something else, probably another plugin, on my site screwing with it.

Hey,
After update to latest version of plugin I’ve got no category in widget. When I enable debug in source is a list of categories in debug part but none on list.
This part of code looks like:

<li id="collapscat-328988982" class="widget collapsCat"><h2>Categoriesh2>

    <ul id='collapsCatList'>

<pre style='display:none' >MySQL server version: 5.0.41

CATEGORY QUERY: 

 SELECT sz_term_taxonomy.count as 'count',

      sz_terms.term_id, sz_terms.name, sz_terms.slug,

      sz_term_taxonomy.parent, sz_term_taxonomy.description 

      FROM sz_terms, sz_term_taxonomy, sz_term_relationships

      WHERE sz_terms.term_id = sz_term_taxonomy.term_id 

      AND sz_terms.term_id  = sz_term_relationships.object_id 

      AND sz_term_taxonomy.term_id  = sz_term_relationships.object_id 

      AND sz_terms.name != 'Blogroll' AND

      sz_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category' '' 

      GROUP BY sz_terms.term_id ORDER BY sz_terms.name

      ASC

CATEGORY QUERY RESULTS

Array

(

    [0] => stdClass Object

        (

            [count] => 72

            [term_id] => 10

<in this place is correct list of categories)

What should i check to resolve problem.
