What I'm looking to do is to have the help page show a list of the help items within each of the help categories.

Example:
- Help Category1
-Help Item1
-Help Item2
- Help Category2
-Help Item1
-Help Item2

Is there a way to do this? When trying to include a second toplist within the first only the code shows on the page for the items. I also tried to change it to -

- Help Category1 > Help Item1
- Help Category1 > Help Item2
- Help Category2 > Help Item1
- Help Category2 > Help Item2

hoping the toplist generator would be able to help me do this, following is the code I got from the generator -

<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 5 -->
<CONFIG>helpitems,category;subject,100,ascending;ascending,,,,0,0,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<a href="{HELPCATURL}">{HELPCATNAME}</a> > <a href="{HELPITEMURL}">{HELPITEMSUBJECT}</a><br>
<!-- END TOPLIST 5 -->

This time I got the items to show correctly, but the categories were listed as {HELPCATNAME} and the URL wouldn't work either.

Thanks for your help.

Help category data isn't currently available from help items -- I'll make it available in the next release.
