Yes, the category template mod was not intended for use with any other mods, especially Subcategories Like Yahoo... If you give me some time, I can make a modified version that will work with Glennu's subcategory mod.
There seems to be quite a bit of problems with this mod. Mostly, the original instructions are a bit incorrect and vague. Most users had a problem with a missing bracket at about line 450. Corrected versions have been posted (and lost over time). Here is a (another) working copy of Subcategories Like Yahoo 2.1:
Code:
sub site_html_print_cat {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This routine determines how the list of categories will look.
# We now use a table to split the category name up into two columns.
# For each category you can use the following variables:
#
# $url : The URL to go to that category
# $category_name : The category name with _ and / removed.
# $category_descriptions{$subcat}: The category description (if any).
# $numlinks : The number of links inside that category (and subcategories).
# $mod : The newest link inside of that category.
#
my (@subcat) = @_;
my ($url, $numlinks, $mod, $subcat, $category_name, $description, $output, $i);
my ($half) = int (($#subcat+2) / 2);
# Print Header.
$output = qq|<div class="margin"><table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td class="catlist" valign="top">\n|;
foreach $subcat (sort @subcat) {
($description) = @{$category{$subcat}}[2];
($subcatstyle) = @{$category{$subcat}}[8];
# First let's get the name, number of links, and last modified date...
$url = "$build_root_url/" . &urlencode($subcat) . "/";
if ($subcat =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$,) { $category_name = &build_clean($1); } else { $category_name = &build_clean($subcat); }
$numlinks = $stats{"$subcat"}[0];
$mod = $stats{"$subcat"}[1];
# We check to see if we are half way through, if so we stop this table cell
# and begin a new one (this lets us have category names in two columns).
if ($i == $half) {
$output .= qq|</td><td class="catlist" valign="top">\n|;
}
$i++;
# Then we print out the name linked, new if it's new, and popular if its popular.
$output .= qq|<a class="catlist" href="$url">$category_name</a> <font class="catlist">($numlinks)</font> |;
$output .= qq|<small><sup class="new">new</sup></small>| if (&days_old($mod) < $db_new_cutoff);
$output .= qq|<BR>|;
if ($subcatstyle =~ m,^\(([^\)]+)\)(\d)$, && $#{$subcategories{$subcat}} >= 0) {
($subcatstyle, $style) = ($1, $2);
$s = 0;
