<txp:category_list section="Thisonly"/> returns ALL categories :-/
Hi there,
I´m using the following tag
<txp:category_list section=“Section1” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” />
to list the categories assigned only to a specified section, but the output ignores the rule “section” and display all categories!
Any clues if i´m missing something?
Thx

Textbook says:
section=“section name” Link to categories within the specified section. Default is unset, resulting in links without section restriction.
Which means that the links created by category_list are in the form /section?c=your_category instead of /?c=your_category. What you want, that tag cannot do.

Allright… so, is there a way to do this?

Is this even possible? Sure, you can name a parent category the same name as a section but not “lock it” to usage only for articles in that section, or?
Sorry for no answers but more questions :)

This plugin is returning the categories for me in a list, but when I click on a particular category, how do I get a page returned that shows those articles associated with that category? Right now, when I click on the category, it returns the same page I’m one with all articles listed, not just the ones in that category.

Could you use:-
<ul><txp:article_custom section="sectionName" form="catList" limit="999" /></ul>
where the form “catList” is something like:-
<txp:if_different>
<li><txp:category1 link="1" /></li>
</txp:if_different>
or something similar?

I just tried this … do I need to change “sectionName” to something else for the article categories to show up?
Basically, I’ve got a series of article categories … when I write an article, I’ll also tag it with one of these category names. I’d like to have a side bar that lists the different categories that have articles associated with them and if I click on one of them, it will go to that category.

The code I show would produce a list of categories for a specific section which is the one specified in “sectionName” however if you don’t want it to be from a specified section then just remove that attribute. On the other hand, if you wanted a list of categories specific to the section you are currently viewing you could use the <txp:article /> tag instead of <txp:article_custom /> which should make it context-sensitive. You could also add the “sort” attribute to sort the list the way you want it.
