Category Listing

Is it possible at all to list the categories within the sidebar (panel.php), or will it only work called from categories.php ?

I just want to be able to list title/link/description.

    /me points the the "Categories" drop down menu in the upper left portion of your forum view. providing you do have it enabled via your account...

    but that doesn't show descriptions...
    the answer is, as usual: it would be a very quick extension add-on :)

    Yeah, I'm sure you could take that extension, then extend it to display the kind of info you require, including the code for block/unblock category all in a nice list there instead of the drop-down. Seems like a nice alternate sidebar replacement extension for that thing.

    Really old topic but still.

    I got pissed with MVC.. Here's something really ugly to add to panel.php to get categories listed:

    // Get categories and sort by priority $query = "SELECT * FROM LUM_category ORDER BY Priority ASC"; $sql = mysql_query($query);?> <ul> <?php while ($rows = mysql_fetch_row($sql)) { ?> <li><?= "<a href='http://yoururl.com/?CategoryID=".$rows[0]."'>".$rows[1]."</a>"; ?></li> <?php } ?> </ul>

    Btw. If theres a more proper way to do this, gief me a hint. Its quite hard to find addons from this site, since lack of tags etc.
