txp:linklist? > how to achieve the same effect as for txp:article's...

Hello Forum,

I need a helping hand. How to achieve the same effect as for txp:article’s listform and form in case of <txp:linklist />?

I need my links (arranged in few categories) to behave similarly as if I used the article’s tag listform. I basically want to write out the names of categories on the main section’s page and by clicking on a category, the links included will show up.

I thought this might be possible via <txp: linklist /> tag, but I’m not sure. Anyway, any other ideas are welcome and highly appreciated, because I’m in a hurry and this is the last thing I’m not able to figure out :(

Thankies in advance!

Simple:

<txp:category_list type="link" />

And:

<txp:if_category name="blogs">
<txp:linklist category="blogs" wraptag="ol" break="li" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name="shops">
<txp:linklist category="shops" wraptag="ol" break="li" />
</txp:if_category>

See more at:

  1. txp:linklist
  2. txp:category_list
  3. txp:if_category

Cheers!

You can use <txp:linklist form="yourlinksform" /> and form ‘yourlinksform’ to customize the display.

txp:category_list
txp:linklist

Jukka & Els,

thank you for your help :) but I probably haven’t figured out how to use it :(
Please, have a look at http://www.retriever-sport.sk/odkazy . ‘Chovatelske stanice’ and ‘Ostatne’ are the link categories and are written out correctly, but the links don’t work.
I wanted to add a form or a listform to my <txp:category_list type="link" section="odkazy" />, but such tags are not supported.

I’m helpless and puzzled. I need those links to work :(

You also need some tags to display the links on the page template for section ‘Odkazy’, something like example 2 here.

It would be something like

<txp:if_category name="ostatne">
<txp:linklist form="Links" category="ostatne" wraptag="ol" break="li" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name="chovatelske-stanice">
<txp:linklist form="Links" category="chovatelske-stanice" wraptag="ol" break="li" />
</txp:if_category>

You can adapt the form ‘Links’ (it’s in the default install) to suit your needs.

BTW very nice site :)
