One thing being overlooked for nesting is a top-level link.
on Appetizers, link to [[!Category]]
on Breakfast, link to [[!Category]]
Now when you add Category.GroupHeader of:
Recipes:
(:pagelist link={$FullName} fmt=#titlespaced list=normal group=!Category:)
----
Subcategories:
(:pagelist link={$FullName} fmt=#category list=normal group=Category:)
& a Site/LocalTemplates including:
!!fmt=#category
Outputs nested categories.
[@
(:if false:)
[[#category]]
(:template defaults wrap=none:)
*[[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]] (:pagelist link={=$FullName} fmt=#category
list=normal order=title group=Category:)
[[#categoryend]]
(:ifend:)
@]
You will see the top-level categories on the Category.Category page, and all
nested categories under any other category page.
I recently had a problem doing a recursive listing of nested categories (see my
recent pmwiki-users email about wrap issues).
Here's the page where you can see the issue:
http://holistichv.org/Category/Category
If you do the same thing WITHOUT the pagecount, you should be fine. I removed
the pagecount from the pagelist template for you.
Funnily, I did the right thing & submitted a PITS about it this morning
(PITS:1336), but it's gone. Perhaps it was rolled into another bug report, but
I can't find it. I'm starting to think that Recent Changes pages need to
contain information on deleted pages.
