Category cloud for direct sub-categories of a certain category

  • Hey everybody,

    I’d like to get a category cloud for all direct sub-categories (only the next level) of the category (archive) that I’m viewing at the moment. Is this possible using the wp_tag_cloud function?

    Thanks in advance,
    René

    Nobody got an idea? Any simple alternatives are welcome. ??

    This will work:

    <?php
$childcategories = get_categories('child_of=' . $cat . '&hide_empty=1');
foreach ($childcategories as $childcategory) {
if (in_category($childcategory)) {
$childs  = array($childcategory->cat_ID);
foreach($childs as $idofchild){$string .= $idofchild.',';} } }
$args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'category','include' => $string);
wp_tag_cloud( $args);
 ?>

    And here a Version for all descendant categories:

    <?php
$childcategories = get_categories('child_of=' . $cat . '&hide_empty=1');
foreach ($childcategories as $childcategory) {
$childs  = array($childcategory->cat_ID);
foreach($childs as $idofchild){$string .= $idofchild.',';} }
$args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'category','include' => $string);
wp_tag_cloud( $args);
 ?>
