I want to be able to display the catergory list on internal pages (NOT as a drop down list though) as I only have around 12 categories - for example when you go to category page blue widgets I have in the ' show links in category ' template a left hand column that I want to display the other main categories in
I tried using the same code that is used to display the categories on the home page - see below, but when you put the same code into the show links in category ' template it only displays the category that you are in ie Blue Widgets is - there a way that you can list all category descriptions ?
Tried the suggestion - what it did was in each catergory it displayed just it's own category
5 times as a main catergory then 4 times as a sub category followed by another 7 of the
main category - the sub cats were indented although I do not have sub cats
Which raises another question - if I did have sub cats I would like to just be able to list the main categories down the left hand side of internal pages

Here is the code from my template and I am running version 4.0.12

Paul sorry but what means fixed and confirmed here, as we are running 4.1.37 and have the same problem. Sitemap only works at Top level. So if you have a solution share it.
It means what it always means: that's it's fixed in anything released after the date of the post. Since I don't have a time machine, it's unreasonable to expect a fix from 04/06/08 - 03:00 PM to be available in something released before that time.
Sharing the source code changes on the forum would lead to lots of people messing up their sites now and for years into the future as they read the archive. Leave the programming to me, or look at it after release if you're curious, as the forum isn't intended to be a tutorial on how to write/edit PHP code.
You should have a planning and a schedule - I need to know when these updates are released because we have a deadline to keep. Especially the fatal error in paypal.php on line 152 is worrying me under the given circumstances. It makes the application unusable if we do not add a php programmer to the team, to fix it, to guarantee delivery date if you cannot say when you will publish the fixes. You don't need to lecture us about php or databases but better explain the usage of your software and your own developed unique template language is recommended. Share the updates in a download section as most of you colleagues do and check out the support of phpMyDirectory which is tested to run flawless with 1 million records and this is the software we normally use for these kind of projects. Using your software was just a test drive to see if we could use it for future projects and to explore it's possibilities. Your competition is simply more helpful and no they do not present old manuals dating back to 2004 and outdated examples in the forum dating back to 2001 of template examples nor do they give unclear answers if I request inormation. They cost only half or a third of the price of what you charge and numerous add ons and templates are available. You however act as if your software is for free and support is charged even for bug fixes, which are normally for free when buying a software. Additionally we think you should debug more thoroughly and not distribute releases that have such major flaws that produce fatal errors.
When there's a critical fix, the release is the same day. Normal releases are approximately once a week, unless there's nothing important in which case it may stretch to two weeks. I haven't seen any other script which offers such frequent updates.

You're a liar, and you know it. Say that about someone who has money and you'd be sued for libel. I've never charged anyone for a bug fix, even if I have to go into the customer's server and spend ten hours on it, and that's a policy clearly stated on the site. For you, personally, I gave you several hours of complimentary inspection and configuration for things that you admitted yourself afterwards were your own fault and certainly not bugs -- I've never charged you for any services, even though I should have.
From the first email, you've spent your time attacking me. Perhaps the fact that I kept doing work for you for free made you think the abuse was working and that you could exploit me, but no, that doesn't work. I dedicate more of my time to people who are professional. Not everyone is worth having as a customer.
The fact that you're trying to use instructions from 2001 forum posts (which are now wholly non-applicable, especially since the script didn't exist in 2001) is your problem, since I've told you not to. I could delete all old forum posts, but it wouldn't be fair to prevent legitimate reference for the sake of stopping a few people from shooting themselves in the foot. Some personal responsibility is called for, so after spending hours bandaging your foot as you curse at me, and after I've given gun safety instructions which you've ignored, I have to give you your gun back and let you shoot your foot again.
Please go use the competition. I'm more than happy to supply a full refund.

There's the problem. Sitemaps weren't globally available until 4.1.0, so you need to upgrade.
