Basically, what I am trying to do is, I want to display the content which falls under the same category in tree structure as a child-parent node instead of folder structure.
The solution was found on https://github.com/vakata/jstree/issues/1101
(function ($, undefined) {
"use strict";
$.jstree.plugins.noclose = function () {
this.close_node = $.noop;
};
})(jQuery);
$('#tree').jstree({
plugins : ["noclose", ... ],
...
});
