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.
