3. Usage

The shortcode is called [tree] and has a single parameter tax for taxonomy.

[tree tax="tutorial_category"]

This will then render the heirarchy tree out for that particular taxonomy.

The taxonomy can have the following three levels:

  1. Parent category (level 1).
  2. Child Category (level 2).
  3. Post in the child Category (level 3).

or it can be only two levels.

  1. Parent category (level 1).
  2. Post in the parent Category (level 2).

3.1. Rendering

Each level has it's own PHP class that renders the output. These are located in the ./src/render/html folder.

Depending on what level is being called will pick the correctly named class and render it specifc to how the methods describe.

3.2. CSS

There is custom CSS for each variation used on ParkourLabs.com. One for the Demos, one for Tutorials. The CSS is the main driver for the animation and functionality of the tree.

3.3. Javascript

The toggle_checkboxes.js file listen for checkbox clicks and open the levels up.
