Categories Widget | Show all Sub-Categories too?

[xanthos84]

Hi,

if I add the categories widget to a sidebar it only shows the Main/Head Categories
but not the subcategories underneath it.

Is it possible to show them too?

Thanks!

after fiddeling around the complete day, i have found it!
if anyone else need it, you can change the categories.tpl in /nodebb-widget-essentials/public/templates/widgets/ for example into:

# code block
<!-- BEGIN categories -->
<ul class="categories-list">
<li>
<!-- IF !categories.link -->
<h4><a href="{relative_path}/category/{categories.slug}">{categories.name}</a></h4>
<!-- ELSE -->
<h4><a href="{categories.link}">{categories.name}</a></h4>
<!-- ENDIF !categories.link -->
<!-- BEGIN children -->
<!-- IF categories.children.link -->
<a href="{categories.children.link}" itemprop="url" target="_blank">
<!-- ELSE -->
  <a href="{config.relative_path}/category/{categories.children.slug}" itemprop="url">
categories.children.name}</a><br /> 
  </div>
<!-- ENDIF categories.children.link -->
<!-- END children -->
</li>
</ul>
<!-- END categories -->

This is nice we should add this to widget-essentials.

@xanthos84 said in Categories Widget | Show all Sub-Categories too?:

code block

<!-- BEGIN categories -->
<ul class="categories-list">
<li>
<!-- IF !categories.link -->
<h4><a href="{relative_path}/category/{categories.slug}">{categories.name}</a></h4>
<!-- ELSE -->
<h4><a href="{categories.link}">{categories.name}</a></h4>
<!-- ENDIF !categories.link -->
<!-- BEGIN children -->
<!-- IF categories.children.link -->
<a href="{categories.children.link}" itemprop="url" target="_blank">
<!-- ELSE -->
<a href="{config.relative_path}/category/{categories.children.slug}" itemprop="url">
categories.children.name}</a><br />
</div>
<!-- ENDIF categories.children.link -->
<!-- END children -->
</li>
</ul>
<!-- END categories -->

@xanthos84/ @baris : I tried this but it does not work. is there any other way?

This should work with latest widget essentials (4.1.1).

<!-- BEGIN categories -->
<ul class="categories-list">
<li>
<!-- IF !categories.link -->
<h4><a href="{relative_path}/category/{categories.slug}">{categories.name}</a></h4>
<!-- ELSE -->
<h4><a href="{categories.link}">{categories.name}</a></h4>
<!-- ENDIF !categories.link -->
<!-- BEGIN categories.children -->
<p>
<!-- IF categories.children.link -->
<a href="{categories.children.link}" itemprop="url" target="_blank">
<!-- ELSE -->
  <a href="{config.relative_path}/category/{categories.children.slug}" itemprop="url">
{categories.children.name}</a><br /> 
  </div>
<!-- ENDIF categories.children.link -->
</p>
<!-- END categories.children -->
</li>
</ul>
<!-- END categories -->

Thanks a lot @baris. It worked like a charm. Saw your commit on widget-essentials. Got to learn a lot.
