I’ve a really complex site where it’s necessary to use categories to group entries.

Now I want to make a simple three-level-navigation tree of categories and entries.
For example:

<ul>
  <li>Category 1</li>
  <li class="active-parent">Category 2</li>
  <li>Sub-category 1</li>
    <li class="active-sub">Sub-category 2</li>
      <li>Entry 1</li>
      <li class="active-item">Entry 1</li>
      <li>Entry 1</li>
      <li>Entry 1</li>
    <li>Sub-category 3</li>
  <li>Category 3</li>
</ul>

I think I’ll can fix the active layers, but the problem is finding out how to create that navigation tree. I also can’t find it on the forums, wiki, KB, docs etc. etc.

Can someone please help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Does anybody have a clue about this issue?

I’m not certain what your after. But I would assume if you just use the category_archives tag or the categories tag with the default nested style, then your list would generate with categories, and subcategories and sub-sub categories as nested items.

Also, when you post at 5:15AM in the morning, it isn’t unreasonable to not expect a reply until after the start of the next business day. Lord knows, I spend a number of hours trolling in the early AM, but most people are asleep.

Excuse me for losing my patience, because I live in Europe I forgot the time.

I’m looking for the right solution for mixing categories (including subcategories) and entries for this submenu. Is the category_archives a solution for it?

Using the category archives tag like so:

{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="english" style="nested"}

{categories}
<h3>{category_name}</h3>
<p>{if category_description}{category_description}{/if}<br />
{/categories}</p>

<p>{entry_titles}<br />
<a href="http://{path=template_group/template}">{title}</a></p>

<p>{/entry_titles}</p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:category_archive}

Will get you a template that looks like so test page  These seems like the formatting you want without the ul li classes.  So then it’s just a matter of assigning styles or CSS code.  If that’s not the structure your looking for then I need more details.
