getParentCategoryTree()

Sorry, I pushed send on that last email a little too quickly
... i  
should have dug a little deeper before posting here.

I now realize that getParentCategoryTree() is in fact
retreiving the  
data i expected. It looks like it is storing the tree in a  
multidimensional array. Each parent category is stored in a
key and  
its value is an array of its own parent categories.

So my question is ...
Is there a built in mediawiki function that can take the
results from  
getParentCategoryTree() and produce a list or do i need to
do this  
manually?

And ... is getParentCategoryTree() the most efficient way
(maybe it's  
the only way?) to retrieve the category tree for an article?


thanks again

Have a look at the method Skin::drawCategoryBrowser() in
Skin.php

There is probably a better way, but the way I used is
probably the 
easiest :p

Hello all,

Category pages are set up to tell you how many articles are
in the 
category, and to display a gallery of the images.  I'd like
it to say 
how many images there are - can anyone give a clue as to
what code needs 
changing/adding?

Thanks very much,
Roger
