I’m not quite sure if I understand you correctly.
But do you have Use Category URL Titles In Links? set to Yes under CP Home > Admin > Weblog Administration > Global Weblog Preferences?

Would it be possible to get this to work with the Gallery module? It could certainly do with it.

Is it possible to set the menu to read the {category_url_title} from the url instead of the menu? When I have the menu set to category={category_id} and the link in my menu to {category_name} and click the menu, I get the category ID’s in the address like: http://www.myurl.com/myweblog/c4., which looks bad.

I deally, I would like to do a http://www.myurl.com/myweblog/category_url_title and have the menu expand. I have it set up this way; {exp:cat_expand:expander category="{category_id}" active-style="font-weight:bolder;"} and I get nothing. I can’t see how you did this from the example site, so could you point me in the right direction?

@Paul:
Sure, you can do lots of things to style the ordered list that is produced by the weblog:categories tag.
Since this is not a specific thing concerning this plugin but CSS-formatting a nested list and I am not a CSS/design guru myself I’d recommend seeking assistance in the
HTML, CSS, and Design Help forum if you need help in applying a specific design.

@ Stef:
That’s just a general matter of applying CSS formatting to the list produced by the weblog:categories tag.
To adjust the indentation you’d problably use something like this.

<style>
.nav_categories ul {
padding-left:10px;
}
</style>

Hi, great code!

How can I avoid that the submenus are intended (something like 35px as default)?
