Re: if_category hates me
(and I threw the listform on there when it didn’t work the other way, as a measure of desperation and “try anything that might work”)

Re: if_category hates me
Hmm… I don’t see anything wrong with the code. And you have exactly the same tags for your category Web and it’s child category, and those articles display all right. Can you post a tag trace?

Re: if_category hates me
No the Web one isn’t working either. It just shows the “Web” content (which it always did) but it does not also show the “Geeky” content. It’s exactly the same as it was before I changed the code.

I recommend a tag trace.

Re: if_category hates me
Ok I got it working, but I’m still unsure as to what is going on. I have a page “main” that is for everything except the front page, which is “default”. All of the sections are set to use “main” as the page. But for some reason the top level category pages use “default”—which I’m sure is how it’s designed to work but is not the flow of logic that my brain follows. Why is it always stupid mistakes that could have been solved in three seconds that take me all day to figure out??

Re: if_category hates me
(Thanks, the “tag trace” thing was what showed me that, “uh…hello? Where are the tags? They’re MISSING! This is the wrong page template! ARRRRG!”)

Re: if_category hates me
Glad you found it. Category pages indeed use the default page, if you don’t know that it can take some time to figure out what is wrong… ;) (Teaches me something as well, I shouldn’t take for granted that everyone just knows these things.)
