[ul_taxonomy]
Description
This tag is used to return an unordered list based off of the xs_cat tags so that css flyout menus, or javascript jQuery madness can be applied for ultimate styling and sliding pleasure.
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/
See Stuart Nichols stuff.
Once you get this tag implemented with xs_cat you will see how easy it is to optimize dynamic css menus from your database content. You can also modify the SQL generation easily enough to show only subnodes etc.
Parameters
-recurse
integer, required
-css_id
string, required
Sample Usage
<?LassoScript
var('br'='<br />');
var('gv_error'='');
var('comp_sql'='');
!(lasso_tagexists: 'xs_cat') ?
library:'/components/inSite/category_ctags.inc';
var(
'cattable_resources'='pages',
);
define_tag(
'taxonomy',
-namespace='ul_',
-req='css_id', -type='string',
-req='recurse', -type='integer',
-priority='replace',
-description='Returns nested unordered lists of elements of a taxonomy within the given path.'
);
local('out')='';
var('SQL' = xs_cat->(fullCatSQL(-cattable= $cattable_resources ,-xtraReturn=', node.lft, node.rgt, node.description, node.metatags, node.metadescription, node.title_tag ',-xtraWhere='', -depth=#recurse)));
inline(-username='xxx',-password='yyy', -database='zzz',,-SQL=$SQL, -maxrecords='500');
var('depth'= integer(column('depth')));
var('c_depth'= integer(column('depth')));
#out += '<ul id="' #css_id '">\n' ('\t' * ($depth ))
records;
var('c_depth'= integer(column('depth')));
if: integer(column('depth'))==$depth;;
#out += ('\t' * ($depth + 1)) '<li class="li_' $c_depth '">' column('title') '</li>\n';
else: integer(column('depth'))>$depth;
#out += ('\t' * ($depth + 1)) '<ul>\n' ('\t' * ($depth + 2)) '<li class="li_' $c_depth '">' column('title') '</li>\n';
else: integer(column('depth')) < $depth;

/records;
#out += '<ul>\n';
/inline;
return: #out;
/define_tag;
encode_smart:(ul_taxonomy: -recurse=2, -css_id='calendar');
?>
gets you:
<ul id="calendar">
<li class="li_0">Databases</li>
