Re: ...view all posts of a certain category?

Here… Let me explain what I mean.

www.omreview.com

Go to “Artists.” You notice those? Each artist is a category. Click the artist. Notice that nothing happens? Jm’s code doesn’t help me in that regard.

Re: ...view all posts of a certain category?

Are the category name and title the same? How do you make that artist category list? What is the code for that? Can you link to the page code? (i prefer linked files to huge forum posts myself…)

And just to be bluntly sure – you have posts in those categories right? Otherwise you will be getting empty pages when browsing categories…

Yes, I have pages in those categories. The artist name is the same as the category name—all of which are article categories.

That artist category list is created manually in a separate page.

Separate page? You have <txp:article /> tag on that page after category listing?

If you’re using <txp:category_list /> make sure you have the ‘section’ attribute in there, otherwise it will lead to your default page.

Great, but here’s something I think we’re overlooking:

index.php?c=CATEGORY_NAME

^ This does not function. Category_list is great, but it brings up a bunch of links to index.php?c=CATEGORY_NAME, which does not function. It just brings up blank.

<txp:category_list section="artist" /> will give you links like index.php?s=artist&c=category-name. You’ll need the proper article tag(s) on your artist section page of course.

Excellent!

Question: How would I pull off index.php?s=<section_name>&c=CATEGORY NAME if the CATEGORY NAME has a space in it?

Re: ...view all posts of a certain category?

Category name shouldn’t contain a space (nor capitals, for that matter), if it does you’d better change it (content > organize). If your category title is something like ‘This category’, change the name to ‘this-category’.
