NSM Categories is a superior approach to filtering & rendering categories and entry tagdata. Check it out on http://ee-garage.com/nsm-categories Features: * Filter categories using category_id, category_group_id or channel parameters. * Render category entries and display totals with the same flexibilty as {exp:channel:entries}. * Nested category output with flexible tags and options. * Cleaner templates without PHP enabled

NSM Categories is a replacement module for standard category tags with more power and flexibility.

Category entries

Nesting tags and performance has been discussed by the EE community before. Until now the only way to render catgeory entries is to enable PHP and add PHP tags to your template. This limits you to using PHP on output only and introduces more complexity. NSM Categories includes this functionality with easy to use tags.

NSM Categories accepts all the same parameters as {exp:channel:entries} which it uses to filter categories and channel entries. The module then re-orders, counts and assigned the entries to their categories. Output the entry tags using the {category_entries}…{category_entries} tag pair.

Category entries can even be rendered in both linear and nested category output! Here’s some example code for linear category and entry output.

Nested categories

NSM Categories isn’t limited to simple linear output. Like the standard {exp:channel:categories} tag NSM Categories can render a nested tree with one exception… it’s way better.

There are many parameters and single tags that allow you to customise the output of the primary {exp:nsm_categories:archive} tag. Control the depth of the tree, target a specific category and customise the output with recursive tag rendering.
