list only cat1 categories?

How do I list only cat1 (or cat2, not together!) non empty categories inside current section (maybe with article counter) on list page? Looks like rss_suparchive_bycat, but it (useartcat2=“1”) doesn’t work on list pages, it works only on single article.
One thing: I want hyperlink points to current section/category, not to home/category/.

Re: list only cat1 categories?

I haven’t tried this but how about something like:-

<code>
<ul>
<txp:article form=“formName” limit=“9999” />
</ul></code>
<br />

in your page template then create the form (formName) like so:-

<code>
<txp:if_different>
<li><a href=”<txp:site_url /><txp:section />/category/<txp:category1 />”><txp:category1 title=“1” /></a></li>
</txp:if_different></code>
<br />

There won’t be a count and I’m not sure about empty categories. The article tag is context-sensitive but categories aren’t tied to sections so it may well pick up all articles in a category regardless though you are linking to a section page so I don’t know. Suck it and see. :)

Then again, if you really MUST use a plug-in try this one.

Re: list only cat1 categories?

Thank you, thebombsite!

It’s really working.
Small change: /category/ to /?c=

Or may be there is a plug-in for this case?
zem_rewrite doesn’t work

Re: list only cat1 categories?

Oh you’re using messy URLs? Didn’t realise that. Sorry.

zem_rewrite??!! Are you trying to replace me with a plug-in? I pour my brains out all over this screen and you want a plug-in? I wish nobody had invented plug-ins. Damn pesky things. They stop you using your brains you know. They are a conspiracy to keep human beings ignorant!

All you need is TXP and a little thought and patience. Have a nice day. :grin:

Glad it’s working. I wasn’t 100% on that though I have used something similar for another output. :)

No, I don’t want a plug-in:)
But: I use section/id/title mode, and this mode doesn’t support /categories/ inside current section. It supports /?c= for this case and main_page/categories in general. May be I’m wrong?

Re: list only cat1 categories?

Errr – let me check. Nope you are correct. My bad. See! I said I wasn’t 100%. :) I need more info on your other problem. I’ll move across.
