Category links (category1 category2) are broken

Absolute · 2013-06-16 13:18:34

Hello,

Hope someone can help,
I have added the below code to my articles to provide links to articles matching the same category.


<txp:if_individual_article>
  <div class="CategoryList">
     <p>Categories: 
        <txp:category1 link="1" title="1" />
        <txp:category2 link="1" title="1" />
     </p>
  </div>
</txp:if_individual_article>

The category links display right, and when I hover over them I get a decent looking url like:


website.com/category/cats

However when I click on the link, the page only displays the most recent article (regardless of what category its in), even though the url indicates I should be looking at all the “cat” articles.

Any suggestions?

Hello, welcome to the forum.

website.com/category/cats will display only articles (in cat category) that belong to some “front page” section. So make sure that you have more than one such article. Also check if the limit attribute of <txp:article /> is not set to 1.

You probably only have a <txp:article_custom> tag on the page template for section ‘default’, or you’re missing one or more conditional tags (e.g. <txp:if_category>). Can you post the code on this page?

Thank you for all your replies, what a brilliant response.

I am trying to add the hyperlinked categories to the single article pages.

I have a BLOG page template that only uses this line of code to pull in the indiviudal articles:

<txp:article form="SINGLE-ARTICLE" limit="5" listform="ARTICLE" pgonly="0" sort="Posted desc" status="4" />

The form SINGLE-ARTICLE has this code in it:


<h2><txp:title /></h2>              
   <txp:body />
<txp:if_individual_article>
     <p>Categories: 
        <span class="SingleCategory"><txp:category1 title="1" /></span> 
        <span class="SingleCategory"><txp:category2 title="1" /></span>
     </p>
</txp:if_individual_article>

Hope that helps.

Sorry just to amend that last block of code, it should be:

<h2><txp:title /></h2>              
   <txp:body />
<txp:if_individual_article>
     <p>Categories: 
        <span class="SingleCategory"><txp:category1 link="1" title="1" /></span> 
        <span class="SingleCategory"><txp:category2 link="1" title="1" /></span>
     </p>
</txp:if_individual_article>

I removed the link=“1” part of the code for bug testing but it still doesnt work right :)

A link like website.com/category/cats lands on the page associated with the default section. Are you sure the page used by the default section is BLOG? If yes, what is in the ARTICLE (list)form?

I think Oleg is right and your page template for section ‘blog’ is a different one than the one that is used by the front page. But there is another easy way to solve the problem: just add this_section="1" to the category1 and category2 tags. Then the category pages will be displayed within section ‘blog’.

You were all absolutely right. By adding this

section="blog"

my category links now work as hoped. Thank you all so much. Top forum!
