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.

**Changes in v3.1:**

1. Updated to comply with WordPress 2.3's new taxonomy tables for categories. (should be backwards compatible)
1. Widgetized! You no longer need to edit your sidebar manually.
1. Fixed "Open To Selection"-option.


== Installation ==

Make sure to disable and remove any previous installation of wp-dtree-30 first!

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 'Presentation' -> 'Widgets' and drag-n-drop WP-dTree Archives / Categories / Pages to the relevant section of your sidebar. 
1. If you think that widgets are lame: 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

				} 
			?>				
		</ul>
	</li>


== 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.
