linking to a section and category to show in an iframe
So I want to link to an iframe to display some articles contained within a certain section and category – but can’t figure it out at all.
Category links seem to be formed like this: www.domain.com/category/catname/
Category links seem to be formed like this: www.domain.com/sectionname/
Is there a way to link like this: www.domain.com/sectionname/catname/ ?

OK – I’m not sure if I’m understanding the txp semantics correctly… what I am trying to do it link the iframe to a txp section and display an article list from a specific category in that iframe… is this possible?

Hi tye

I dont understund why you use iframe it s not a valid W3C command!

You can just create another new section and a new page and use article_custom in that page
and link to that new section
for example:
if you want to link to a section name “Music” with articles that are only in the category of “Trance”
so go create a new section name “music_trance” and a page with that name too or what you want
then in that page you use article_custom in this way:
<txp:article_custom section="music" category="trance" form="blablabla" pgonly="0" />
and this will be your link: <a href="/music_trance">Trance music</a>

Those links look like domain.com/section-name/?c=category-name.

I tried all the mentioned and none worked I – I’ve resorted to using hidden sections – which works :)
I had to use an iframe as I am doing this job as a favor for a friend – he already got the design signed off before consulting me and the client isn’t interested in Search Engine traffic – its all offline marketing – soooo iframes it is
domain.com/section-name/?c=category-nameI tried those aswell – but it wouldn’t work – no idea why

I think for it to work you need to go to
> Admin
> Preferences
> Basic
and change “Permanent link mode” to “/section/title”
