<txp:category title="1"> not working in 4.0.3??
I changed the title of a category from the default (nycpics) to NYC Photos.
I’m using <code><txp:category title=“1” /></code> in a page and nothing is showing up.
However, if I use the same tag, same context, but simply change the value to <code>title=“0”</code>, it returns “nycpics”, so I know my syntax and usage is correct.
What gives?

Does the name of the category match “nycpics” exactly?

Yes, the name of the category is “<code>nycpics</code>”. I know this because the correct pictures in the category are displayed using the <code><txp:image_index /></code> and <code><txp:image_display /></code> tags when I call it up using <code>/photos/?c=nycpics</code>.
Any ideas?

Additionally, I just created a clean category “<code>test</code>.” I immediately changed the <b>title</b> to “<code>This is a Test</code>.”
When I called up <code>/photos/?c=test</code> this with the <code><txp:category title=“1”/></code> tag on the page, it didn’t work as expected.
Nothing returns.

Okay, after doing a little research on both this problem and abother question I had, I found that, apparently, this is a common problem and has even been documented in the “help” for bos_image_display.
Supposedly, this plugin fixes the problem with a custom tag.

Is it an image category? As far as I know <txp:category /> is for article categories…

That’s correct, Els. There is no ?c=category_name url equivalent for links, images and files. <txp:image_index /> and <txp:image_display /> are special cases.
