Re: linklist page

Links only have 1 category.

Re: linklist page

ah… now I see what you mean (category1/2 made me think of the two categories you can set for articles, while you can only choose 1 category for links, hence the confusion on my end).

Have you tried using if_different using a Links form like this:

<txp:if_different><txp:link_category /></txp:if_different>
<txp:link_name />
<txp:link_description />

and remember to sort by category first, then linksort:

<txp:linklist sort="category ASC, linksort ASC" break="li" form="Links" wraptag="ul" />

Re: linklist page

remove the wraptag from ruuds code example. that should kill the spaces.

That’s what if_different will do. Try it.

Re: linklist page

That other page you referred to uses something like this:

<txp:if_different></p><p><strong><txp:link_category /></strong></p><p></txp:if_different>
<txp:link_name />
<txp:link_description /><br />

<txp:linklist sort="category ASC, linksort ASC" break="" form="Links" wraptag="p" />

Re: linklist page

voh, excactly what I wanted! …only I had to remove “name” at the end of <txp:link_name /> otherwise it didn’t link.

but, is it possible:

1. to leave article title to the top.
this doesn’t work:

<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
<txp:if_different></p><p><strong><txp:link_category /></strong></p><p></txp:if_different>
<txp:link />
<txp:link_description /><br />

2. to sort by category title not by name. right now it doesn’ t display some estonian characters

<txp:linklist sort="category ASC, linksort ASC" break="li" form="Links" wraptag="ul" />

Re: linklist page

1. Link tags only work from a link form, called by linklist.
2. Sorting doesn’t affect title display. If titles are not displaying correctly, something else is wrong.

in other words, not possible

1. Sorting doesn’t affect title display. If titles are not displaying correctly, something else is wrong.

but what could be? link category title “Eesti linnu – ja loodusfotograafia” but TP displays “Eesti-linnu-ja-loodusfotograafia”, link category title “Rõngastamine” TP displays “Rongastamine”. example

Re: linklist page

use <txp:link_category title="1" /> instead of <txp:link_category />

bingo ruud! :) thanks.

and last question (hopefully :) ): right now category names are sorted in alphabetical order, but how to sort them by date/time added?
