Page-Cat-List

Description

Page-Cat-List is a WordPress Plugin (surprise) that you can use for generating a sorted list (where you can/must
define the order) with items from pages and categories. That’s the whole story. Unfortunately WordPress does not
implement this in its core-functionality so I had to build that on my own.

As of writing this Page-Cat-List supports:

  • mix category- and page-items and display them in one list
  • sort these items (first level only)
  • define a title
  • define a maximum depth
  • define a html-id for the first ul-element
  • most of the stuff you can do with get_pages and get_categories arguments:
    • exclude items
    • include items
    • etc. pp.

  1. download Page-Cat-List here
  2. extract the zip file and copy the folder to you wp-content/plugins/ folder via ftp/ftps/sftp/whatever-you’re-using-to-transfer-files-to-your-webspace
  3. goto Plugins in your admin-menu and activate Page-Cat-List
  4. goto Design–>Widgets and Drag’n’Drop the Page-Cat-List to one of your sidebars. Note: If you have no sidebars listed then, Google is your friend
  5. enter any options (title, depth, get_pages or get_categories arguments, ul-id) and save your changes
  6. done ;o)

FAQ

How to define an order?

Just type in the page and category-ids in a comma separated list in the “Order” widget option.
The items will be displayed in the exact order you typed in from top to bottom. Remember to add
a trailing “p” to every single page id. If your page id is 42 you’ll have to write down 42p.

If you’re not sure about page and category ids search for a plugin or hover the links in the
listing views and look into the statusbar of your browser. The id should be part of the url.

What am I supposed to write down in “Page Args” or “Category Args”?

You can define excludes and stuff like that by providing args to Page-Cat-List that you would
normally hand over to get_pages or
get_categories. Just take
the syntax from there.

Do you have some kind of example configuration?

Well…click on the screenshots section. The important stuff is handled there.
