wp_list_cats ignoring optionall?

  • Howdy,

    I just upgraded to 1.5, and I’ve been slowly converting the plugins and themes over. Definitely worth the effort. One thing I noticed. In my old index.php, I had modified wp_list_cats to:

    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&all=all&optionall=1&optioncount=1'); ?>

    However, I’m not getting the ‘all’ option in the list now for some reason. I tried changing around order of parameters, and adding and removing things in different combinations. It doesn’t seem to matter much. All the other parameters I add and remove seem to work just fine. ‘optionall’ doesn’t.

    Thoughts?

  • I think that option only works for dropdown_cats.

    Any confirmation on that?

    Well, prior to the upgrade, it was working just fine in a list.

    I got the same problem in WP 1.5, in WP 1.2.2 the wp_list_cats succesfully displayed what I want

    It code that handles the optionall/all parameters was removed from list_cats(). I’ve no idea why. If you need it back, look in

    wp-includes/template-functions.category.php

    for the function list_cats(). In this, just before the line:

    foreach ($categories as $category) {

    insert this:

    if (intval($optionall) == 1 && !$child_of && $categories) {
    $all = apply_filters('list_cats', $all);
    $link = "<a href=\"".$file.'?cat=0">'.$all."</a>";
    if ($list) {
    echo "nt<li>$link</li>";
    } else {
    echo "t$link<br />n";
    }
    }

    This is a mod from 1.2’s source. The query string ?cat=all doesn’t seem to work either, so I’ve used 0 (zero) in the code above to call up all categories.

    I have created a version of the code posted before so that you also see the count of posts in the “All” category. Here the apropriate diff:
