Dear RT, Did you end up getting this to work? I'm looking for something similar to this and this was the closest thread I found to helping me out. I tried to setup JQuery toggle but that ended up not working whatsoever so I scrapped my changes and now am back to where I started.
Or if anyone else can help out, it would be greatly appreciated -Alex On Jul 20, 11:24 am, RT <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry its been awhile since I replied, but here is the vanilla > category tag code: > > def category_tree(id=None): > """ > Creates an unnumbered list of the categories. > > Example:: > > <ul> > <li>Books > <ul> > <li>Science Fiction > <ul> > <li>Space stories</li> > <li>Robot stories</li> > </ul> > </li> > <li>Non-fiction</li> > </ul> > </ul> > """ > active_cat = None > if id: > try: > active_cat = Category.objects.active().get(id=id) > except Category.DoesNotExist: > active_cat = None > # We call the category on every page so we will cache > # The actual structure to save db hits > current_site = Site.objects.get_current() > cache_key = "cat-%s" % current_site.id > existing_tree = cache.get(cache_key, None) > if existing_tree is None: > root = Element("ul") > for cats in Category.objects.root_categories(): > recurse_for_children(cats, root, active_cat) > existing_tree = root > cache.set(cache_key, existing_tree) > # If we have an active cat, search through and identify it > # This search is less expensive than the multiple db calls > if active_cat: > active_cat_id = "category-%s" % active_cat.id > for li in existing_tree.getiterator("li"): > if li.attrib["id"] == active_cat_id: > link = li.find("a") > link.attrib["class"] = "current" > break > return tostring(existing_tree, 'utf-8') > > Thanks for all the help. > > On Jul 15, 4:44 pm, lzantal <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > Make sure the templatetags is a package, so it needs a __init__.py, > > Also you don't need a custom category tag if all you want is collapse > > the subcategories. > > You just need to would iterate through the category list with jQuery. > > Could you post the generated html so I can write up a simple example? > > All my category template tags are modified so I don't have a vanilla > > satchmo category template tag. > > > lzantal > > > On Jul 15, 11:19 am, RT <[email protected]> wrote:> Where are custom > > templatetags supposed to live?
