nozero

so i can put any field name from the table after $post-> and it will return that info?

it works great the issue is that i was missing a “.” right before “$cat->cat_ID” it works great.

$categorieschild = get_categories(‘child_of=’$cat->cat_ID);

can you help me out with this code. i dont know php so im not sure whats goign on.

<?php
$categories= get_categories(‘parent=0&hide_empty=0’);
foreach ($categories as $cat) {
$categorieschild = get_categories(‘child_of=’$cat->cat_ID);
foreach ($categorieschild as $catchild) {
$xyz = $catchild->cat_name;
$xyz .= ‘ (‘.$catchild->category_count.’)’;
$xyz .= ‘
‘;
echo $xyz;
}
}
?>

is there anywhere a list of the information this funstion returns like

category_count
cat_name
etc….

i needed to add hide_empty=0
because the top cats dont have anything.

more clearly.

i modified the code to this

‘ <?php
‘ $categories= get_categories(‘parent=0’);
‘ foreach ($categories as $cat) {
‘ $xyz = $cat->cat_name;
‘ $xyz .= ‘ (‘.$cat->category_count.’)’;
‘ $xyz .= ”;
‘ echo $xyz;
‘ }
‘ ?>

the point is to get the top most cats then i will loop through each one to get their children. the problem is that parent=0 doesnt work

ok i figured it out, thanks.

so how do i do this that it should know which is the parent not to link it?

Thanks for your help!

I wish i knew hoe to read that kind of code. all i know how to do is use the wordpress functions

in what way …

i down loaded it. what part need to be set up specifically?

this looks right. thank you.

can i just change the permalinks and this plugin takes care of the rest?

i dont know too much about this stuff, i just started querying the worpress db, but i copied you query to test and i needed to change the table name to “wp_posts” and “wp_postmeta”
