• The plugin is now fully compatible with the ‘Top Level Categories’ plugin.
• Now, if no class is given in the parameters, the class attribute is not added to the img tag.

Ukrainian language added by Andrew S. Thank you, Andrew !Bug resolved : I said to put the category_icons.php file into the category_icons directory instead of category-icons directory. So, to be clear, you must put (if it’s not done yet) category_icons.php file in the wp-content/plugins/category-icons/ directory. Note the ‘-’ instead of ‘_’.

Slovak (author : Samuel K.) & Spanish (author : TechnopodMan) languages added. Thanks to them !

The Template Code process has been improved.

Through the Template Code panel, your template files are scanned and patched if they’re writable. If not, informations about where you should paste get_cat_icon() in your files are displayed. Thanks to Andrew S. for reporting me a bug.

PS : If you don’t want your files to be patched automatically, make sure it’s not possible to write into them by checking the permissions.

New feature : you can now display the icons vertically, it’s like a ’stack’ of icons, thank to a new parameter for the function get_cat_icon() : vertical_display. Set it to true if you want to use that feature.Example :

get_cat_icon(‘vertical_display=true’);

The ’stack’ is generated thank to a div tag. That div tag has a class : caticons. So if you want to extend the style of the div tag, you can use css in style.css.

Example of generated code :

<div class=”caticons” style=”text-align: center; float: left; width: 32px“>[the_icons_are_here]</div>

Example of extending the class in style.css :

.caticons,img {
border:0 !important;
}

You can’t modify the value text-align, nor the float value. The width take automatically the larger width of the icons to display.

• You can now use a new function in sidebar.php to “iconize” your categories list in the sidebar : put_cat_icon().Example : write the following code in sidebar.php to have icon next to the category name for which you uploaded an icon. (See that plugin to upload things). You can give any parameters to wp_list_categories, but you MUST ADD echo=0, in order to process the list :

• There’s a new feature : you can prioritize the display of icons. From the author (Oliver) :”You can now assign numeric priorities to categories. The priority is used to select a single category icon for a post with multiple categories.
  Example: imagine we have a post with two categories:- Companies -> ACME Corp. (Icon: ACME.gif, Priority 10)- Products -> Milk (Icon: Milk.gif, Priority 20)
  If you now pass the new boolean parameter “use_priority” to the get_cat_icon() function, it will only render Milk.gif because Products -> Milk has the highest priority of all categories for the post”.
• You can define the maximum number of icons to display in front of your post title
• You can translate the plugin into your own language thanks to the .pot file provided with the plugin. If you translate it to another language than french, thank to send it to me in order to put it online and share it with everyone.
  For the frenchies : I’ve translated the plugin into french. You just have to put the file ‘category_icons-fr_FR.mo’ in the plugins directory. (Pour avoir la traduction du plugin en français, vous devez juste déposer le fichier ‘category_icons-fr_FR.mo’ dans le répertoire des plugins).
