CATEGORY TREE NAV BLOCK
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2005.02.28

INSTALLATION:

From CVS:
Download the 'contrib/block_category_tree' directory from CVS to somewhere safe
on your file system (I suggest creating a 'contrib' directory below your Moodle
root). From this directory, copy the subdirectory 'category_tree' and all its
contents from your 'block_category_tree/blocks' directory, to your Moodle
'/blocks/' directory. Copy the file contained in the 
'block_category_tree/lang/en/' directory to your language directory
(e.g. /lang/en/).
Visit your admin screen and configure the new block the way you want.

From ZIP:
To install and use, unzip this file into your Moodle root directory making sure
that you 'use folder names'. This will add a new block directory (category_tree)
to your '/blocks' directory and some language files to your langage directory.
Once unzipped, visit your admin screen and configure the new block the way you
want.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Category Tree Nav block allows you to add a category/sub-category/course
menu structure to your Moodle setup. The block will display a separate menu
side block for every category at the level you are at. For example, at the site
level, the menu will display each top category in a block, with any
subcategories for that category listed in the block followed by any courses. The
order of the display is dependent on the order you set in the course
administration section.

An optional configuration parameter allows you to use the first course in a
category (defined by the order you set) as the category home page. If you set
this option, the category name will link to the first course in that category.
You can then use that course as a pseudo-category page, much like the site home
page. When this option is used, the first course will not appear in the category
menu, but will only be linked by the category name.

Have fun with it!
