I can look at it... I haven't "played" with tdmdownloads much but I'm sure it can't be too difficult to create a category block.

- Which version of tdmdownloads are you wanting to use?
- XOOPS version?
- PHP version?

I will try and look at this in the next day or so. I am away from my computer most of today and tomorrow.

I do have a few Block Settings (Preferences) questions:
- Do you want the block to show all categories or only top level categories?
- Do you want the block to show images if the category has images?

Block Preferences: only to select which top level categories to display
Display: only top level and without images. Only text (link to the category)

Thank you again

Bleekk,

I have checked in 2 new category blocks for you to try. One allows you to list categories (and subcategories if you want) in a list. The second block displays a HTML dropdown (select) box with the categories.

There are some block Preferences to give you flexibility in what you want to display. I did not take a lot of time formatting the template so you may want/need to adjust them some.

Let me know if this works for you.

The category dropdown block doesn't work

Class 'XoopsObjectTree' not found in \htdocs\xoops2571\modules\TDMDownloads\blocks\tdmdownloads_cat_selbox.php on line 79

This is really strange. I believe it has to do with the other blocks I have loaded on my page - it worked here. It is interesting that the list category block works on your site, although this bug wouldn't show up if you don't show subcategories.

I have fixed it and placed the fixed files (both of the ./blocks category php files) on SVN. Please download it again to see if this solves the issue.
