How can i list cusom categories with subcategories in one line?
-
I have an script which i use to copy categories into new categories with another taxonomy, it works great with 20+ categories with 2-3 levels of subcategories, BUT if i copy 2-300 categories with a big mix of id’s in regards to how and when they orginally was added, and some categories is 10-12 levels deep then it does not add the copies hierarchial correctly. It does copy all categories but i have to edit parent of 10-12 always.
This is the code i use today:
$args=array( 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'hierarchical' => 0, 'hide_empty' => 0, 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'asc' ); $categories = get_categories($args); foreach ($categories as $cat) { if ($cat->category_parent != 0) { $term = get_term($cat->category_parent, $taxonomy); echo ''.$term->name.'|'.$term->slug.'*'.$cat->cat_name.'|'.$cat->slug.'', "\n"; }else{ echo ''.$cat->cat_name.'|'.$cat->slug.'', "\n"; } }
This gives me the following output:
Cat1|cat1*Cat2|cat2Problem is that if Cat1 has 2 or more level1 childs then the second loose its parent (Cat1) and get listed like this:
Cat1-2|cat1-2So how can i get output like this:
Cat1|cat1*Cat2|cat2
Cat1|cat1*Cat1-2|cat1-2And ofcourse unlimited depth, so i get all child levels listed.
Thanks
