construct:has_children help

#134 opened by Greg Wineman

Description

This is the only code on my page... I i'm POSITIVE cat_id 1 has children, but the plugin isn't seeing them with the "has_children" tag.

The following code always returns false

{exp:category_construct:categories cat_id="1" }	
    {if construct:has_children}
	    This category has children!
    {if:else}
	    This category has NO children!
    {/if}
{/exp:category_construct:categories}

this code works and returns 4 subcategories for category 1:

{exp:category_construct:categories parent_id="1"}
    <option value="{construct:cat_name}">{construct:cat_name}</option>
{/exp:category_construct:categories}

The code above is the only code on the template. What am I missing?

    Unfortunately with the way Category Construct is currently written, there is no way for it to know if there are children when you use the cat_id parameter. Try the parent_id_with_children tag param.
