Category list
I would like to show a category list where by clicking on the category name I get redirected to the list of articles with that category.
Thank you very much!

Re: Category list
Check out <txp:category_list /> in the user documentation, it has info and examples of how to do that.

Re: Category list
With the code of documentation I can see the list but does not link refer to any article with that category.
Where is the problem?

Re: Category list
Do you use txp:category_list with a form or as a container?
Have you included <txp:category title="1" link="1" /> as the example 3 shows (txp:category)?

Re: Category list
Hi
If i understund the category list is shown but the link is not sending you the right place, have you use some section to your aticles? if it s that you need to add it to the category tag like this:
<txp:category title=“1” link=“1” section="yoursection" />Offline

Re: Category list
- Caution with the quotation marks in your code.
- The category-list is shown in an individual article context from the section “ricette”.
- Are there in the section “ricette” articles with categories?
- How ist the code in the page dedicated to the section “ricette”?

Re: Category list
I have not solved either by entering the section:
<ul id=“secondary-menu”>
<txp:if_article_section name=“ricette”>
<txp:category_list wraptag=“ul” break=”“>
<li<txp:if_category name=’<txp:category />’> class=“active”</txp:if_category>>
<txp:category title=“1” link=“1” section=‘ricette’ />
</li>
</txp:category_list>
<txp:else />
<txp:article_custom section=’<txp:section />’ status=“live” limit=“999”>
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:if_article_section>
</ul>

Re: Category list
Hi,
I don’t know if it’s related, but section="ricette" will not restrict categories to those having articles in the section “ricette”, it will simply add “ricette” section to the category url. So, if you have a category “teatro”, the link will be output (in messy mode) as
<a href="...?s=ricette&c=teatro">Teatro</a>Clicking on it will show all articles in section “ricette” with category “teatro”, which can be an empty list.
