Plugin Description
This plugin utilizes mootools, mootree and milkbox javascript libraries to transform a cutom hierarchical post type into a branched tree. The tree is toggleable as a whole or by element considering the element has children.
The following are some of the configurable options:
- Initially display the tree as open.
- Initially display any elements as open.
- Choose whether to display connecting lines.
- Choose to display a unique icon for elements with no children.
- Choose whether to display expand/contract buttons top, bottom, both, none.
- Change the “theme” of you icons. There are two default themes, you can create your own.
- Change the behavior of the tree by editing the javascript (text editor with default script located in post category page). The default behavior is to display a lightbox containing the featured image if it exists.
- Create as many different trees as you want by simply assinging them to a new category.
- If you would like the branch to link to a url, you have a field for that (note: the javascript would need to be changed).
- Create a css id for each specific element. This can then be styled in any included .css file.
- Define the color of text for any specific element.
- Define a unique icon (both for the branch closed and branch open states) for any specific element.
- Assign miscellaneous text for each specific element. This can be used for whatever purpose you choose, but was placed as an option in order for a user to define for each element a json, url or similar style name/value pair string to be accessed via the javascript methods available in the editor.
- Set a featured image for each individual element. The default behavior is to display this image in a lightbox when the element is clicked.

Donations welcome. If you find this plugin useful and would maybe like to request more features or hope for future updates and optimizations, please help me eat! I find it takes a lot of pizza to code, something about thinking and calories…
