Info

Developed by Wouter Vervloet, http://www.baseworks.nl/

Installation

Drop the entire lonely_cat folder in the third_party folder:

/system/expressionengine/third_party/lonely_cat/

Usage

Just like any other fieldtype except that Lonely Cat doesn’t have any settings. It will show the categories that are assigned to that particular channel. Nothing more, nothing less…

Default value for the field is the channel’s default category (if set).

As of Lonely Cat v 1.0 you can also output basic category information without using the {categories} tag.

    The following options are available:
    
    {field_name} => Category id
    {field_name:category_id} => Category id
    {field_name:category_name} => Category name
    {field_name:category_group} => Category group id
    {field_name:category_parent} => Category parent id
    {field_name:category_url_title} => Category URL title
    {field_name:category_description} => Category description
    {field_name:category_image} => Category image

Changelog

[2011-05-10] v 0.9 => Initial release
[2011-05-10] v 0.9.1 => Default field value is now the channel’s default category.

Default value for the field is the channel’s default category (if set).

Works as advertised. Would be nice if honoured the “default” category admin setting.
