I'm using SelectCategory 0.8. By default the category tree is collapsed (at least until you apply my patch from 27795 to fix $wgSelectCategoryMaxLevel ;-) I'd like to have an additional config option ($wgSelectCategoryOpenSelected ?) that automatically opens all parts of the tree that contain a selected category. For example, I an article belongs to the category "dog", the tree should be displayed like this: - animals - pets - dog <--- selected category - cat + wild I'm not providing a patch this time ;-) but I'll give you some implementation hints: The current code won't work :-( because you can't go upwards in the tree and mark an item as open, which is something you need to do to implement this. A working variant is probably to have a nested array like (re-using my example categories from above) $category_tree = array( 'animals' => array ( 0, 1, array( 'dog' => array ( 1, 0 ), 'cat' => array ( 0, 0 ), ), 'wild => array ( 0, 0, array ( # ... ) ) The included arrays have the following structure: (example: 'animals') - selected? - open in tree by default? - array with sub-categories - if no sub-categories exist, you can - leave out this part (as in my example) - use an empty array() You can also use named array keys, for example 'animals' => array ( selected => 0, open => 1, subcategories => array(...) ),
