A Web Publisher category tree on steroids! Allows all sorts of control over category presentation through Web Publisher Pro including tree depth, hiding private categories, pre-expanding nodes and delivering user-specific category configurations to your WPP users.
Some of the attributes of the Category Tree Pro:
| useAnchors | Set this to 'true' to have anchors added to the generated HTML, to keep the last expanded or collapsed node visible in the browser. |
| showCatalogs | Set this to 'true' to have the catalogs displayed as part of the category tree. |
| rootCategory | You can use this to select a category to act as the root of the displayed tree, rather than the default which is to use the catalogs as the tree roots. |
| showRootCategory | Set this to 'true' to display the root category (selected with the 'rootCategory' attribute) as part of the category tree. |
| maxDepth | You can use this attribute to limit the depth of node expansion allowed in the category tree. |
| hideRegex | Normally, categories whose names begin with a period ('.') are considered to be hidden - they will be ignored by the category tree taglib, along with all their subcategories. This attribute allows you to override this behaviour by specifying a Java regular expression to indicate the categories you want to hide. |
| hideSubcategoriesRegex | This works similarly to hideRegex, except that it hides subcategories of a category whose name matches. There is no default value for this attribute. |
| skipRegex | Categories whose names begin with a dollar sign ('$') are normally skipped by the category tree taglib - that is, they are not included as a separate level in the tree, and the taglib skips directly down to the next level. This attribute allows you to override this behaviour by specifying a Java regular expression to indicate the categories you want to skip. |
| showRegexUserField | You can use this to specify exceptions to the categories hidden by the hideRegex and skipRegex attributes (or their default settings). This attribute names a field which is extracted from the user record for the currently logged on user. |
| skipAllSubcategoriesRegex | This causes all the subcategories (not just immediate subcategories) of matching category names to be skipped. |
| id | If you need more than one instance of the category tree in a session, then this optional attribute can be used to identify each instance. Each tree will then have its own state, avoiding unwanted interaction between instances. |
