lam_category_popup
lam_category_popup v0.5 download here
idea derived from this thread
basically the same thing as <txp:popup /> except it wraps each parent category in an unselectable
kinda hard to explain in words so you can see an example of this plugin at work here (the popup selector on the right)
Changelog:
v0.5 – saved a query for each parent category called
v0.4 – cleaned up some undefined variables (thanks mattmikulla)
v0.3 – using getTree function instead of my own blubbery (thanks bloke)
v0.2 – woops forgot custom prefixes for tables
v0.1 – initial release
Tag:
<txp:lam_category_popup />
Attributes:
Uses all the same attributes as <txp:popup /> (except “type” since theres no parent/child relationship for sections yet)

- Choose parent categories to include in popup list.
- If left blank, ALL parent categories (including empty ones) will show up!

- Label for the top of the list.
wraptag=“wraptag text”
- Character to be used as the wraptag.
- Default is div
section=“section_name”
- Jump to the selected category for the named section.
- Default is empty.
this_section=int
- Jump to the selected category for the currently active section. Available values: 1 (yes) or 0 (no).

Example Tag:
<txp:lam_category_popup label="browse" categories="fish, vegetables" parentsort="desc" /> would produce a popup list akin to the following:

Fish

Thanks to masa and mattmikulla for the idea. I currently don’t have a use for this plugin myself but I figured I’d give back to the community.
