You’re a genius.
Thanks. I’ll let you know the results when I test it later…

Re: Category Links
The examples work just fine, except what keeps happening is, all the “Categories” and the articles appear on the same page.
What I’m trying to achieve is…..when I click on a “Section’, the “Category” list is displayed. Then when I clickon a “Category”, ONLY the specific “Category” name selected and the articles for that specific “Category” gets listed.
I know it’s possible, but I’m totally new to Textpattern so I know I’m doing something wrong but I can’t figure it out…
Thanks

Re: Category Links
Ah I see, you shouldn’t have that code in a form, but on the page. Does this do what you want?
<txp:output_form form="meta_nav" />
<txp:output_form form="header_nav" />
<body>
<div id="center" />
<div id="content">
<txp:if_section>
<txp:if_category>
<txp:article listform="article_listing" />
<txp:else />
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:section />' exclude='<txp:section />'
this_section="1"
label="Categories"
type="article"
break="li"
wraptag="ul"
/>
</txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:article listform="article_listing" limit="5" />
</txp:if_section>
</div> <!-- ends #content -->
<!-- right -->
<div id="sidebar-1">
</div>
</div> <!-- ends #center -->
<txp:output_form form="footer_nav" />Offline

Re: Category Links
I did try something similar before and now I’ve placed your code in a page and I get the same result…a blank page.
When I call it up in a form the way I sent it to you previously, I get the desired results (with a few quirks) BUT everything is duplicated. even the syntax errors(strange huh!!!).
I will play around with the latest code you sent and I’ll let you know later the results.
Thanks as usual…
