Overview

This simple theme component automatically indents all subcategories in the sidebar - works in desktop, tablet and mobile viewport sizes.

There is one setting to change the indent size - the default is 1em, minimum 0.5em and maximum 3em.

Notes

This theme component is only intended for single level subcategories. If your forum has sub-subcategories enabled, this component will probably break, or at least not look very good in your sidebar.

This component replaces the now deprecated Indented / Nested Sidebar Categories or Subcategories.

nice job! It will be wonderful if it can fold or unfold for the parent categories. Is it possible?

[Lilly]

no - sorry, but i have no plans to add more options to this component.

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

Nice work Lilly - delightfully simple and effective. A marked improvement!!

Also, I love the clear admin notice about it.

[Neil_Evans]

It would be useful to have the option to indent on mobile too

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

I agree - and hadn’t noticed that it doesn’t until you pointed it out just now!

@Lilly, did the old TC indent on mobile?

[Lilly]

i refactored this component and it should work for you on mobile now. let me know if there are issues. edited OP.

[tknospdr (David Muszynski)]

What was the thought/reason for deprecating a more full featured component (Nested categories) in favor of this one with less control?
Can I keep using the old one even though it’s deprecated or is it going to eventually break?

[Neil_Evans]

Works great - thanks so much Lilly! I can remove my CSS workaround now

[Neil_Evans]

Ahah - it indents fine in portrait, but not in landscape (using an iPad)

[Lilly]

works on my ipad

let me guess, it’s doing that two-column sidebar view?

[Neil_Evans]

Ahah - sorry, forgot to mention my custom CSS forces it to single column on mobile. It works fine in portrait (indented like desktop) but is a plain-flat list in landscape

[Lilly]

this is what i see on my iPad in both landscape and portrait views:

i think firefox view was sometimes weird on tablet with 2-columns. i pushed a fix that should force it to use single column all the time.

[Neil_Evans]

Ah -it’s working for me now too, sorry! It seems to go “flat” when you rotate the device - but fixes itself if you refresh. Thanks for checking!!
