Category List Help

I would like a bit of help getting a list of sub galleries to show up.

http://ayeparty.co.uk/index.php?s=gallery

For example when I click on sub club I want a new list of categories to show up (is this possible?) and then I would use smd_gallery to pull the correct image of that specific category. I’m using this code for my page template.

<txp:category_list parent="gallery" type="image" children="0" this_section="gallery" />
<txp:if_category name="<txp:category />" >
<txp:smd_gallery sublevel="1" form="gallery" />
<txp:else />
</txp:if_category>

Just in case you’re wondering my category list looks like:

• Gallery
  • Club 2
    • Night 2
  • Club 3
  • Sub Club
    • Test

Re: Category List Help

Not a complete answer, but use section instead of this_section. The latter is a boolean (this_section="1" is the only value you would give it).

Code is topiary

Ok I’ve changed this_section to section now.

Yeah I can get the level 2 categories of the gallery branch to show alright but I’m wondering if you can get the level 3 categories to show up when you click on the related level 2 parent category?

Re: Category List Help

I’m not much of a category list maven, but this might work for you:

<txp:if_category>
    <txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' />
</txp:if_category>

Re: Category List Help

Thanks jsoo!

It didn’t work for me because I didn’t use single quotes for the tags within a tag. Stupid me :(

Now to get smd_gallery working so it’ll pull the correct category images.
