Sorry its been awhile since I replied, but here is the vanilla
category tag code:
def category_tree(id=None):
"""
Creates an unnumbered list of the categories.
Example::
<ul>
<li>Books
<ul>
<li>Science Fiction
<ul>
<li>Space stories</li>
<li>Robot stories</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Non-fiction</li>
</ul>
</ul>
"""
active_cat = None
if id:
try:
active_cat = Category.objects.active().get(id=id)
except Category.DoesNotExist:
active_cat = None
# We call the category on every page so we will cache
# The actual structure to save db hits
current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
cache_key = "cat-%s" % current_site.id
existing_tree = cache.get(cache_key, None)
if existing_tree is None:
root = Element("ul")
for cats in Category.objects.root_categories():
recurse_for_children(cats, root, active_cat)
existing_tree = root
cache.set(cache_key, existing_tree)
# If we have an active cat, search through and identify it
# This search is less expensive than the multiple db calls
if active_cat:
active_cat_id = "category-%s" % active_cat.id
for li in existing_tree.getiterator("li"):
if li.attrib["id"] == active_cat_id:
link = li.find("a")
link.attrib["class"] = "current"
break
return tostring(existing_tree, 'utf-8')
Thanks for all the help.
