Turns your sidebar into a very convenient, "dynamic" navigation tree. Supports scriptaculous effects.

== Description ==

This plugin can generate navigation trees for your posts, pages and/or categories. The archive tree (posts) can be displayed with monthly or yearly nodes. The category tree can be displayed with or without their posts.

Scriptaculous support is built in for cool presentation effects. It is optional and can be controlled through the admin interface (Presentation -> WP-dTree). If you choose to activate this setting, you'll need to [download WP-Scriptaculous](http://www.silpstream.com/blog/wp-scriptaculous/).

wp-dTree was originaly created by [Christopher Hwang](http://www.silpstream.com/blog/). It's a WP adaption of [Geir Landros's dTree](http://www.destroydrop.com/javascripts/tree/). Version 3.0 is a fork (since Mr. Hwang is MIA) by Ulf Benjaminsson, aimed at reducing the excessive database querying when running wp-dTree. 

Instead of creating the trees on every visit, 3.0 employs caching and updates the trees only when posts/pages or categories are altered. The result is a tremendous load reduction from previous versions; one site I tested (~360 posts) went from 411 to 18 queries (!) to display the main page.


== Installation ==

1. Extract the files and transfer the 'wp-dtree-30' folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Go to the 'WP-dTree' option menu under 'Presentation' and set your preferences.
1. Go to the template file that you want the archives to show on and copy paste the relevant code:

Displaying archives
---------
	<li>
	<h2>Archives</h2>
	<ul>
		<?php 	
			if (function_exists('silpstream_wp_dtree_get_archives'))		
			{				
			     silpstream_wp_dtree_get_archives();
			}
			else
			{
				wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); 
			} 
		?>				
	</ul>
	</li>

Displaying categories:
---------
	<li>
	<h2>Categories</h2>
		<ul>
			<?php 
				if (function_exists('silpstream_wp_dtree_get_categories')) 
				{
					silpstream_wp_dtree_get_categories();
				}
				else
				{
					wp_list_categories('show_count=1');
				} 
			?>				
		</ul>
	</li>

Displaying pages:
---------
	<li>
	<h2>Pages</h2>
		<ul>
			<?php 
				if (function_exists('silpstream_wp_dtree_get_pages')) 
				{
					silpstream_wp_dtree_get_pages();
				}
				else
				{
					wp_list_pages();				
				} 
			?>				
		</ul>
	</li>

All trees can be displayed at the same time if you like. Just add the relevant code in to your page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I change the images used by wp-dTree? =

The images are all stored in the 'wp-dtree/dtree-img/' directory. You can change them if you like. Just remember to keep the names the same, or you'll break the script.
