The behavior for browsing categories has changed, and not to my liking. If this was not intentional, then it is a regression (as I've listed it). If this was intended, then please consider this a "wish" to restore the old behavior or (perhaps better yet) provide a plugin that allows me to control the display.
I have two versions available for viewing. They are not show.tiki.org, but they should do for demonstration.
11.2-
http://www.hrsms.org/home/cat74?deep=on&type=wiki+page&sort_mode=name_asc
9.2-
http://www.hrsms.org/home9/cat74?deep=on&type=wiki+page&sort_mode=name_asc
I like that in 9.2 it only shows the current category, and without watch links.
In 11.2, all categories are shown, with watch links (which in my opinion just add clutter to the page), and the category listing is expanded to the last viewed, not the current. To see this:
a) Browse categories on this site
b) Expand "How To-->Hulls"
c) On left menu, select "Models-->By Nationality"
d) Note that the results displayed are for nationality, but the category listing is still expanded to "how to--> hulls". Confusing to the viewer.
e) Change current URL from ..\home\.. to ..\home9\.. to see how "nationalities" looked in the old version. I much, much, much prefer this way.
I tried using PluginCategory for the same purpose, but I could not get the desired results. Indeed, I'm not even certain I get the results that should be expected. Based on my understanding of the parameters, I would expect the categories AND sub-categories to be displayed, and the results split when the category changes. That does not happen. You can see that here:
http://www.hrsms.org/home/Models
{category id="4" types="wiki" sort="name_asc" split="y" sub="y" showdescription="y" showname="y" showtype="n" one="y" showlinks="y" categoryshowlink="y" maxRecords="1000" showTitle="n"}
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
