<txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
I’m trying to use <txp:category_list>. When I use it, all the URLs in the list look something like this: domainname.web/emporium/?c=jaggerspun-yarns
If the “?c=” is removed then the link works. How do I get rid of the offending “?c=”

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
the c part of the url is what is leading to the category, if you remove it there is no category!
can you post your code and tell us what is the desired link you want?

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
Thank you. I have the preferences set to use not use “?=messy” in the admin>preferences. I have it set for /section/title
This is what I have in my form:
<h4>Product Categories</h4>
<txp:category_list parent="yarn" exclude="ebay,books,looms,shuttles,everything-else" title="1" children="1" wraptag="strong" break="">
<p><txp:if_first_category></p>
<h4>=<txp:category title="1"/>=</h4>
<txp:else />
<p><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></p>
</txp:if_first_category>
</txp:category_list>
<txp:category_list parent="emporium" exclude="yarn,jaggerspun-yarns,uki-cotton" children="1" wraptag="strong" break="">
<p><txp:if_first_category></p>
<h4>=Etcetera=</h4>
<txp:else />
<txp:category title="1" link="1" /></p>
</txp:if_first_category>
</txp:category_list>It returns “domain.com/emporium/?c=jaggerspun-yarn” when I want it to return “domain.com/emporium/jaggerspun-yarn”
When I use this rss_uc_list, the links work perfectly (there is no “?=c” in the URL so it works).
<txp:rss_uc_list linktosection=“emporium” section=“emporium” offset=“1” parent=“emporium” children=“1” wraptag=“ul” break=“li” showcount=“0” class=“catlist” /> I’d use this but can’t figure out how to get it to display the children of parent categories like I can with <txp:category>.
Thank you for your help.

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
What would be ideal and what I’m trying to achieve is to have a menu that lists the categories in the same exact way that they’re listed in the admin panel in the categories tab, including the count(s) with the option of hiding some of them.

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
Re article counts you can download the mdn_count plugin
The reason categories have that url is because they are section sensitive (please someone correct me if I am wrong). I think that if you want clean urls you will need to change your code to
<h4>Product Categories</h4>
<txp:category_list parent="yarn" exclude="ebay,books,looms,shuttles,everything-else" title="1" children="1" wraptag="strong" break="">
<p><txp:if_first_category></p>
<h4>=<txp:category title="1" section="default" />= (<txp:mdn_count category='<txp:category />' />)</h4>
<txp:else />
<p><txp:category title="1" link="1" section="default" /> (<txp:mdn_count category='<txp:category />' />)</p>
</txp:if_first_category>
</txp:category_list>The problem with the code above is that the category links might end up in pages without any listings if your articles use any other sections but the default one.

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
Thank you. I appreciate the time and effort to reply with a possible solution. I’ve spent way too much time on this so I’ve decided to just bag it. I will hard code in a menu so that it shows up in an unordered list like it does in the admin categories tab. It will be quicker, I think.

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
The solution I offered above works if you do not have any other sections. If you do, clean urls will not work and the section="default" would need to be deleted. Don’t go for a manual solution unless you really have to

Re: <txp:category_list> ?c= appears as the url
no one has answered the question … why does this form of url NOT work :
domain.com/emporium/?c=jaggerspun-yarn
i.e.why is the “?c=” being output but it fails to go to the category ?
I’am seeing the same thing and it fails to go to the category with great frustration.
