Category browse menu

How do I get the category browse drop-down menu to show a list of results when placed on an inside section? The front page of the site I am working on is a splash page, so takes no txp:article tag. (Yes, I have searched the forum extensively for an answer, to no avail, but maybe I missed something…)

Re: Category browse menu

You have indeed. I’ve mentioned this several times. You need to setup a little block of code in your default template to deal with a category list so something like:-

<code>
<txp:if_category>
your code for a category list
<txp:else />
your front-page code
</txp:if_category></code>

Re: Category browse menu

Sorry. It still doesn’t work. I’m obviously doing something wrong – maybe because I’ve been banging my head on the desk for five days over this problem. I’ve now got this on the front page:

<code><txp:if_category>
<txp:article />
<txp:else />
my front-page code
</txp:if_category></code>

and this on my section:

<code><txp:popup type=“c label=“Sort by budget (&euro;) or by Location” wraptag=“p” /></code>

I thought txp:article on the default page template would bring up a category list. The section in which all the articles are saved is viewable on the front page. Any more suggestions, please?

Hold everything! There’s a typo type=“c Could be the solution.
