Category Page vs. Article Page

1) On initial install, I noticed the category page seems to have a different form then the default form. (comment is missing)

What is the form being used for category page?

2) The url for category url is category/cat_name , is there a way to change the “/category/” in the url through the database?

3) Finally, is there a way to modify the default title appended text i.e. site title: , if I would like to move the site title : placement in the html title tag, or change : to – ?

Regards,

Brian

If you don’t specify a form (or listform) using the attributes in your article tag, ‘default’ will be used. But comments only show in individual article mode.

2) The url for category url is category/cat_name , is there a way to change the “/category/” in the url through the database?

Yes, in the txp_lang table. Search for ‘category’.

3) Finally, is there a way to modify the default title appended text i.e. site title: , if I would like to move the site title : placement in the html title tag, or change : to – ?

Yes, you can change the separator in your txp:page_title tag, or don’t use that tag and build your own page title using conditionals (if_section, if_individual_article, etcetera).

In my table it’s ID 425, but that may be different in your table (depending on when you last updated the language, if you have more than one language installed, etcetera). The ‘name’ field says ‘category’, ‘event’ is ‘public’, and you should change the ‘data’ field.

Remember that it will be overwritten when you update the language or your entire install!
