Categories List
Hi,
I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong with categories. I have two section with different sub items but using the same page. In the categories I created the following down below. I only want to display the children. When I enter the parent name I get nothing.
- Item A
- Item A1
- Item A2
- Item B
- Item B1
- Item B2
<txp:category_list parent="item-a, item-b" exclude=''" wraptag="ul" break="" class="">
<li>
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</li>
</txp:category_list>Offline
Re: Categories List
<txp:category_list parent="item-a,item-b" exclude="item-a,item-b" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="">
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:category_list>Yiannis

Re: Categories List
OK, let me understand better. You have 2 sections, let’s call them sec1 and sec2. Then you have a number of categories, two of which are parent categories and the others are children categories. Let’s call them catA, catAa, catAb, catB, catBa, catBb.
What I understand you would like to see when visiting domain.tld/sec1/catA/ is a list of the children categories of catA. Correct?

Re: Categories List
Yes, you are correct.
I have a section called Outdoor and Lightning. When I click either section I want on the side of the page to show accent chairs and bistro etc.
- outdoor
- Accent Chairs
- Bistro
- Lighting
- Table Lamps
- Pendants Lamps
- Chandeliers Lamps

Re: Categories List
Untested:)
<txp:if_section name="outdoor">
<txp:category_list parent="item-a" exclude="item-a" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="">
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:category_list>
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="lighting">
<txp:category_list parent="item-b" exclude="item-b" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="">
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:category_list>
</txp:if_section>You may be able to automate the above if the section and parent categories have the same name
<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'>
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:section />' exclude='<txp:section />' wraptag="ul" break="li" class="">
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:category_list>
</txp:if_section>Yiannis

<txp:category_list wraptag="ul" break="li" parent="furniture" children="n"/>
<txp:else/>
<txp:category_list wraptag="ul" break="li" parent="outdoor" children="n"/>
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>Offline
Re: Categories List
There was an issue with the quotes in the first line:)
<txp:if_section name='<txp:section/>'>
<txp:if_category category="outdoor,furniture" parent="1" name="anakin">
<txp:category_list wraptag="ul" break="li" parent="furniture" children="n"/>
<txp:else/>
<txp:category_list wraptag="ul" break="li" parent="outdoor" children="n"/>
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>Yiannis
