what's wrong with this toplist:

<table>
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 5 -->
<CONFIG>categories,name,15,ascending,parent={CATID},,3,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<td>
{CATSUBCATS}
</td>
<!-- END TOPLIST 5 -->
</table>

I'm trying to list all the subcategories under a parent category.... thought the above was the way to do it...? I've put it in displaylinks.tpl but it outputs stuff like this: categories,name,15,ascending,parent=79,,3,0,0,0,0 categories,name,15,ascending,parent=2042,,3,0,0,0,0 categories,name,15,ascending,parent=2043,,3,0,0,0,0 categories,name,15,ascending,parent=2044,,3,0,0,0,0 categories,name,15,ascending,parent=2045,,3,0,0,0,0 categories,name,15,ascending,parent=2046,,3,0,0,0,0

Probably means you have another toplist #5.

I don't. I changed it to #15 and it still outputted the same... I think there's something wrong with how I've created it.... would {CATSUBCATS} output a list of all the subcats...?

i'm getting a similar error. and i'm sure it's not the toplist numbering that's the problem.

what's making the config parameters show up in the list?

My output looks like this. The titles and links come out correctly, but the config parameters are getting written as well. Does anyone know what's causing this?

links,time,5,descending,catid=24,,,0,0,0,0,0,0
Uni teasy - Unit Conversion and Dictionary
links,time,5,descending,catid=24,,,0,0,0,0,0,0
Nobel prize
links,time,5,descending,catid=24,,,0,0,0,0,0,0
Scien ce and Engineering Encyclopedia


This is what my toplist code looks like (not sure if it will print out correctly here):

<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 32 -->
<CONFIG>links,time,5,descending,catid={LINKCATID},,,0,0,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<div class="linktoplist"><a href="http://www.elementlist.com/lnx/link.php?id={LINKID}" target="_blank">{LINKTITLE}</a></div>
<!-- END TOPLIST 32 -->

You have {LINKCATID} instead of {CATID}

Try this... only a slight change...

<table>
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 5 -->
<CONFIG>categories,name,15,ascending,parent="{CATI D}",,3,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<td>
{CATNAME}
</td>
<!-- END TOPLIST 5 -->
</table>



I put " " around {CATID} to make parent="{CATID}"

And because you are using parent="{CATID}" you do not use {CATSUBCATS}, you simply use {CATNAME} because you have already specified that that you want to display the child categories.

<!-- END TOPLIST 32 -->


If this is going in your displaylinks.tpl, use

<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 32 -->
<CONFIG>links,time,5,descending,catid="{CATID}",,,0,0,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<div class="linktoplist"><a href="http://www.elementlist.com/lnx/link.php?id={LINKID}" target="_blank">{LINKTITLE}</a></div>
<!-- END TOPLIST 32 -->

If it is going in your details.tpl, use

<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 32 -->
<CONFIG>links,time,5,descending,catid="{LINKCATID}",,,0,0,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<div class="linktoplist"><a href="http://www.elementlist.com/lnx/link.php?id={LINKID}" target="_blank">{LINKTITLE}</a></div>
<!-- END TOPLIST 32 -->

{LINKCATID} is fine.

It looks like you've placed this toplist in a repeating area. Repeating toplists weren't handled automatically in the 4.1 series, only in 5.0. In 4.1, you can try to make it work by using {LINKNUMBER} as the toplist numbers -- this will require you have no other toplists on the page that conflict with whatever {LINKNUMBER}s may ever be involved.

Yes, I'm trying to use this in a details/comments page to list the newest and most popular posts for the category that the details page belongs in.

If I take the catid={LINKCATID} out completely, the toplist works in the details page.

I tried using double quotes around {LINKCATID} and got the same error.

It seems like there's some trick that I'm missing.

Where exactly are you putting it? Indications suggest a repeating area.

I know this doesn't look much different but try it...

<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 11{LINKID} -->
<CONFIG>links,title,5,descending,catid="{LINKCATID}",,,0,0,0,0,0,0,,0</CONFIG>
<div class="linktoplist"><a href="http://www.elementlist.com/lnx/link.php?id={LINKID}" target="_blank">{LINKTITLE}</a></div>
<!-- END TOPLIST 11{LINKID} -->


If it doesn't work then it is the place you are putting it rather than the toplist itself. Do you have any toplists in your wrapper?

Please see post #9 instead of post #12. Toplist numbers over 100 aren't allowed.
