Hang on loading after upgrade
I've just upgraded my wiki from 1.15 to 1.17, got the categorytree from the SVN today but my categories are not working and the extensions is hung on on "loading...". I followed all the instructions (.htaccess rule, ajax enabled and so) but nothing. Can you please give me a hint? Thanx! 93.62.139.46 10:43, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Screencap
It would be cool to see a screencap on this article. I'm going to try this extension on the English Wikipedia. :) Mheart 19:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Display images in sub-categories
When I view a category, I can see all the image thumbnails (files) for that category. However, when I click on the + to open a sub-category, I only see the file names for that category, not the thumbnails. Is there a way to view the thumbnails here also? --Robinson Weijman 09:44, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Show pages (mode=all) in Sidebar
Hi, the sidebar option is great however I'd like to show all pages in the tree rather than just the subcategories as normally done by mode=all. Is this possible in the sidebar?

Namespaces setting not working
I have MediaWiki 1.16.0, and CategoryTree latest stable version r62678. I have 2 namespaces called "KB" and "HowTo", where the article/documents are residing. 2 documents coming from the two namespaces are linked to a Category called Category:SuSe, and from there, that category (SuSe), its linked to Category:Linux.

I want a CategoryTree to only show the articles/documents from the "HowTo" namespace that are linked to the "Category:SuSe". I am trying the following syntax:

CategoryTree and alternative table of contents templates
Recently I reported a problem with CategoryTree which affected the behaviour of MediaWiki categories. With the new version for MW 1.17, that appears to be sorted now (!). However, the TOC templates for categories as used on Wikipedia, such as this one here, don't currently work with CategoryTree. Does anyone know of a fix? Cavila 14:02, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it's neither CategoryTree nor Ajax. It must be something else in MW 1.17 or other extensions may not be compatible. Cavila 08:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Cavila MW 1.17, MySQL 5.1.57, Php 5.2.17 10:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Please Help With the Following Error
Why am I getting this error?

"Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "CategoryTree::renderChildren". Database returned error "1054: Unknown column 'cl_type' in 'where clause' (localhost)"."

Thank you, -Brad

Loop if category is member of itself
If a category is a member of itself you can click on the + and the tree will expand showing the category again where you can click on the + again and so on. A category loop detection would be more elegant --Danwe 13:22, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
