Re: Sections, Categories and Articles

You might want to look at these plugins: ign_password_protect, mem_self_register and mem_simple_form. I haven’t used any of these myself and I don’t know if what you want can be achieved. Any questions about the use of these plugins are best posted in the plugin thread(s).

Re: Sections, Categories and Articles

Hello,

I’m setting up this site and I created my Categories and Sections.
the Sections have the following options;

1. Selected by Default…..No
2. On front page………….No
3. Syndicate……………….No
Include in Search………..Yes

When I click on a “category” however, the articles do not show.
if I change “On front Page to “YES”, the articles do appear when I click the respective category

I do now want all articles to appear on the front page. Is there a way to get the articles to appear ONLY for the category that is selected?

Thanks in advance for your response

RJ

Re: Sections, Categories and Articles

Yes, there are several ways to do that. For example:

1. Set all your sections to be displayed on the front page, and in your default page template use something like this:

<txp:if_section name="">
   <txp:if_category>
      <txp:article />
   <txp:else />
      <txp:article_custom section="sections,you,want,on,frontpage" />
   </txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>

2. Or don’t set them to be displayed on the frontpage, and use a section page to display the category listings.
