Sue Crocker pulled code for me to sort selectively display categories and display them in the right column.  There is a bug in it when I limit the number of entries displayed let’s say to 5 and then the blog paginates. when you click on the second page of entries the category sorter does not work.

Here is when it works fine without page pagination (although when logged it as admin I get this error: Notice: Undefined variable: cat_name in /home/pmh2640/public_html/murmann/system/core/core.functions.php(637) : eval()‘d code on line 117)

Here is a copy with the big bug. I already put in on the second page of entries so that you can see it readily.

This is the code that Sue installed. She says it is from someone called MF in Germany. Can you help?

Hi,

It seems that you have deeply nested categories. To display them in their hierarchical order you can use exp:weblog:categories tag or exp:weblog:category_archive tag or
Recursive Subcategories plugin.

Hi Laisvunas: The problem is that the hierarchical display works when I don ‘t all entries are displayed on one page but not when they are displayed across multiple pages. 
here it works

http://professor-murmann.info/index.php/weblog/courses/

and here it does not

http://professor-murmann.info/index.php/weblog/courses_bug/P5/

I want it to work when entries of blog span across multiple pages.

I should add that the problem with http://professor-murmann.info/index.php/weblog/courses_bug/P5/ is that it displays all parent categories across my different blogs and not just this one courses.

It does not seem that either exp:weblog:categories tag or exp:weblog:category_archive tag or
Recursive Subcategories plugin has any relation with pagination; so, some approach of those three should work.

You use PHP for displaying nested categories; I do not see point for that.

Laisvunas: I am not a programmer. Could I hire you do get this to work correctly? Peter

Hi,

I sent you a private message.
