Display image categories
Run into a mind block here. I have a section called “photos”, in which I want to display 3 image category links on the sidebar – work, travel, personal.
I use the category_list tag: category_list active_class=“active” break=“li” class=“list_images” type=“image” wraptag=“ul”
When in the photos section, clicking on “work” for example, should bring up all the thumbnails of images in the work image category.
Thing is, categories use the front page by default, so at the moment, clicking on work brings us to a nice blank page, instead of the images.
Can’t seem to get my mind around this simple problem today, can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: Display image categories
Doh!! Changed the tag to assign the photos section, and it works:
category_list active_class=“active” break=“li” class=“list_images” section=“photos” type=“image” wraptag=“ul”

Re: Display image categories
OK another question:
I have this tag in a form which is outputted to my “photos” page:
category_list class=“list_images” active_class=“active” break=“li” section=“photos” type=“image” wraptag=“ul”
The active_class is not applied on the link when using this tag on a section page, like so:
mysite.com/photos/?c=Work
But the active_class IS applied when using the default page, like so:
mysite.com/category/Design/
Any idea why? Apart from the fact that the “type” is “image” in the tag, there is no difference, apart from the URL. Is the active_class only applied on /category/ pages using the default page?

Re: Display image categories
Is the active_class only applied…?
No, it shouldn’t. Does a tag trace reveal anything?

Re: Display image categories
Hi Mary,
Set site to debugging, and the following shows up at the top of the page:
Tag error: -> Textpattern Notice: Page template archive does not contain a txp:article tag on line 464
textpattern/publish.php:464 trigger_error()
index.php:39 textpattern()
The code in the page is the following:
<txp:if_section name=“photos”>
<txp:if_category>
<txp:article_custom section=“photos” />
<txp:output_form form=“images” />
<txp:else />
<txp:article limit=1 />
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>
So, there IS an article tag in there…
The tag trace is below:

This should already be fixed in SVN. It’s the uppercase category name that is causing problems (if you change the category name to lowercase, while keeping the category title uppercase, it’ll work).
