category_list not using messy urls

kvnmcwebn · 2007-03-19 17:08:39

I still havnt been able to get clean urls going on my hosts server. Anyway i have the urls set to messy in the site admin. However the dynamically generated links in my sidebar are clean. Why is that?

look at the side bar categories here
www.mcmonagle.biz

here is the code in the sidebar form.

<h2>Categories</h2>
<ul>
<txp:category_list break=“li” />
</ul>

Might be related to the ‘Send “Last-Modified” header?’ setting.

Oh your right Els they are messy.
I tried turning off the last modified setting, no change maybe i have to research it more.

right now i have category lists that i cant get to.
Any idea of how i would find them?

For instance this is a blank page
http://mcmonagle.biz/index.php?c=Homes-Of-Donegal
but this article
http://mcmonagle.biz/index.php?id=20
is filed under the Homes-Of-Donegal category.

Not sure how to proceed, please advise

Then it’s probably something with the article tag(s) you’re using. Can you give us the code that is on your page template?

kvnmcwebn · 2007-03-22 09:01:38

sure here is the page template in question:

<txp:output_form form=“doctype” />
<txp:if_individual_article><title><txp:section title=“1” />: <txp:page_title /></title></txp:if_individual_article><txp:if_article_list><txp:if_section name=”“>
<title>Home Page: <txp:sitename /></title><txp:else />
<title><txp:section title=“1” />: <txp:sitename /></title>
</txp:if_section></txp:if_article_list>

</head>
<txp:if_section name=”“>
<body id=“home”>
<txp:else />
<body id=”<txp:section />”>
</txp:if_section>

<txp:output_form form=“access” />

<txp:if_section name=”“> <!— we’re on the homepage, so display one image —> <txp:article form=“image” limit=“1” /> </txp:if_section>

<txp:if_section name=“photos”> <txp:if_article_list> <!— This is the thumbnail listing. —> <ul id=“thumbs”> <txp:article form=“thumb” limit=“9999” /> </ul>

<txp:else />

<!— we’re viewing a single image —> <txp:article form=“image” /> </txp:if_article_list> </txp:if_section>

</div>

<txp:output_form form=“sidebar” />

</div>

<txp:output_form form=“footer” />

</body>
</html>

Here is the form for the sidebar:

<!—
<h2>Sections</h2>

<ul>

<li><a href=”<txp:site_url />about”>About</a></li>

</ul>—>

<h2>Categories</h2>

<ul>

<txp:category_list break=“li” />

</ul>

<h2>Archives</h2>

<ul>

<li>By Category</li>

<li>By Month</li>

</ul>

<li><h2>Links Out</h2>

<ul>

<txp:linklist form=“Links” />

</ul>

</li>

</ul>

</div>

thanks in advance

First, change your category name to all lower case (though I don’t know if that will help, it’s just that names that are not all lower case can cause trouble sometimes).

Second, I see you are using the code from Jon Michael’s photoblog tutorial. Is there an image assigned to the articles in this category? If you are using the article form from the tutorial all it will display is the thumbnail (if in an article list) or the full image (if on an individual article page).

Forget that, I can see that there are images. Do try my first suggestion though ;)

Hi,
I found out the problem of the broken category links but im not sure of a sulotion.

the category lists are there for instance
http://mcmonagle.biz/index.php?s=photos&c=homes-of-donegal

BUT, the category links dont generate the section as in the above example so the dont work:
http://mcmonagle.biz/index.php?c=homes-of-donegal

My question is how do i create a side bar that can link to a category list without being in the photos section?

Here is the sidebar repeater as it is
<txp:category_list break=“li”/>

Here is a repeater that generates a valid categor link from inside the photos section <txp:category_list break=“li” this_section=“1” wraptag=“ul” />

So can i just do something like ???
<txp:category_list break=“li” +section =“photos”/>

Seems like a hack but it will do for now till i learn more.

thanks for the patience

<txp:category_list break="li" section="photos" /> should work.
