Category menu with new counts

This module is same module as the same "Category Menu With News Count" posted by spamhater. The difference is it removed the ul/li list from the menu and customize it with css 3 style. The module is pretty simple but yet powerful for those website that want to add categories automatically with the news and articles counted without modify any Datalife Engine files only require a few lines of CSS styles and include file into the theme.

Features:
- Automatically generate the category list from the category cache files and database
- Use cache to reduce the server loading and resources
- Automatically count all news in both main categories and sub-categories and make the total count in main categories
- Supports category icons (useful for those who use category icons like file hosts and different category icons)
- Very simple to install without modify any DLE files
- Easy to customize in CSS
- Can set cache to how often to update the article count and category list

This module only tested on 9.6 and 9.7, if you are using older version please prefer to "Category Menu With News Count" posted by spamhater, however, this module may work on older versions but I don't personally check it.

rafuli92,
the module is automatically grab categories from your database, so all categories will be added automatically, if you want to create your own categories, you must add them manually in your theme, example

<div class="catmenus">
{include file="/engine/modules/cat_starter.php?new_days=1"}

<a href="http://site.com/link-to-page"><span class="ficon">Name Of link</span></a>
<a href="http://site.com/link-to-page"><span class="ficon">Name Of link</span></a>

</div>

noobos,

<div class="catmenus">
{include file="/engine/modules/cat_starter.php?new_days=1"}

<a href="http://site.com/link-to-page"><span class="ficon">Name Of link</span></a>
<a href="http://site.com/link-to-page"><span class="ficon">Name Of link</span></a>

</div>

When I use the above code, first it shows all categories with article count and then it shows those categories which i add manually but these are only links with out article count.

When I remove

{include file="/engine/modules/cat_starter.php?new_days=1"}

It shows only those categories which I added manually but without article count.
Please help to solve this problem.

Also is it possible to create drop-down menu (like dlestarter) for all subcategories?
Also please guide me how to use different icons for each category?

if you folks need manually input with category count then don't use this module because this is automatically added, not manual input.

Dropdown menu can be using any css menu https://www.google.com/search?q=css+drop+down+menu

Categories icons, please read the Category Manager in userguide http://docs.dlestarter.com/dle-administrations/7-category-manager.html
