my category link destination pages don't show any content

so sorry if this is explained elsewhere… I’ve tried to find it, but without success. I’m developing a site at http://72.18.159.5/~herjutkj/. I’ve got sections listed horizontally across the top of the page, then, in the portfolio section I’ve created some categories. In the left column on that page, I’m getting a list of the categories for that section

<txp:category_list active_class="selected" this_section=1 wraptag="ul" break="li" />

but when I click on any of those links, I’m not getting to any of the articles in that category. Here’s what I have in my page template:

p:if_individual_article>
<ul id="prevnext">
  <li><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev></li>
  <li><txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></li>
</ul>
	<txp:article form="static_article" status="live" limit=1 />
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
  	<txp:article form="static_article" status="sticky" limit=1 />
</txp:if_article_list>

I know this is probably something really simple, and I thank you in advance for your help.

You’re telling it to only show sticky articles. :)

Re: my category link destination pages don't show any content

oh! I see what you mean… how can I make this work, so that when I click on a category name in the left column, I get to browse through the articles in that category (prev|next)… do I need to make the categories sections instead? Thanks for your help!

Just ad a <txp:article /> tag:

<txp:if_individual_article>
<ul id="prevnext">
  <li><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev></li>
  <li><txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></li>
</ul>
	<txp:article form="static_article" status="live" limit=1 />
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
        <txp:if_category>
                 <txp:article form="..." limit="..." />
        <txp:else />
         	<txp:article form="static_article" status="sticky" limit=1 />
        </txp:if_category>
</txp:if_article_list>
