Hi,
I replied by email, but just in case here is the link:

Thanks

It would be a great addition!

It’s ok, I’ve done it. I had to use ‘get_the_author_meta’

Hurray – solved by my friend – here is the code in case anyone else wants to do this:

<?php

// this returns the current page category, which is used later to match the clients tags
$current_category = single_cat_title("", false);

// check to see if we are on a special page
$on_special_page = ($current_category == "product") || ($current_category == "airline") || ($current_category == "transport") || ($current_category == "spaces") || ($current_category == "packaging");

// this starts a loop to generate the 'clients' list
// this gets the categories that are children of category 7, which is the 'clients' category
$categories = get_categories('child_of=7&hide_empty=0');

foreach ($categories as $cat)
{
	//this makes an array of the categories IDs
	$args = array('categories'=> $cat->cat_ID); 

	//this is a custom function that get's the 'tags' for each category ID
        $tags = get_category_tags($args); 

	$tag_names = array();
        foreach ($tags as $tag)
	{
		// this takes the above and returns the tag name as opposed to it's ID
        	$tag_names[$tag->tag_name] = 'on';
        }
#	print_r($tag_names);

	// checking to see if the current page 'category'  is NOT the specific categories and then
	// generate the normal list, (like that shown on the home page) also checks to see if a
	// category doesn't have any posts, in which case we write it but not as a link
        if (!$on_special_page && ($cat->count))
	{
        	echo '<li><a href="http://www.factorydesign.co.uk/?cat=' . $cat->term_id . '">' . $cat->cat_name . '</a></li>' . "\n";
        }
	//this is where I need to check if ANY of the returned 'tags' are matched, currently it's
	// just checking the LAST one. If it does match then I set the 'li class' to 'page_link'
	// which then allows me to style it independently
        else if (($tag_names[$current_category] == 'on') && ($cat->count))
	{
		echo '<li class="page_link"><a href="http://www.factorydesign.co.uk/?cat=' . $cat->term_id . '">' . $cat->cat_name . '</a></li>' . "\n";
        }
        else
	{
		echo '<li>' . $cat->cat_name . '</li>'; //this writes the categories that are left, but NOT as link items
        }
}
?>

sorry – I’m not clever enough to extract from that link the information I need! To start me off, is there a way to list the categories, and for each on list the tags asociated with it? For example, you can list the categories and the number of posts for each.

Actually I tell a lie – this works on my local install but not on the live version. Please help!
