Hello,

I'm having a problem trying to edit the <%category%> tag. I'm not sure where to start looking. I have a couple of questions:

1. How can I edit the html code that the <%category%> tag is generating?

2. The reason is, I only want one column of categories running vertical down the home.html page, is this possible?

3. But, I want two columns running vertical down the rest of the site, is this possible?

4. Also, how can I make it so the catergories running vertical are not alphabetized?

Thanks!

Eddie

1) Edit subcategory.html in your templates folder...

2) Yeah, just use <%loop category_loop%> i.e;

<%loop category_loop%>
<%include subcategory.html%>
<%endloop%>

That should do what you want (just replace the <%category%> tag with it)

3) 2 columns of categories, or links?

4) Edit the sort order for the building process (Setup > Build Options)....not definate on the exact name of it, but instead of organising by Title, you can organise it by whatever field you want...


Hope that helps

Hey Andy,

First, thanks a lot for posting back! I think I know what you're talking about and I think it'll work now!

Second, sorry for the double post.

Third, I'm looking to have on home.html one column of links I guess. I would like it to look very similiar to http://www.cgi-resources.com. They have one column of links I guess. But, on the other pages, I would like to have 2 columns setup. So it would like like this: http://cgi-resources.com/...ms_and_Scripts/Perl/

Would I have to setup another template called subcategories2.html and run edit tags like:

<%loop category_loop%>
<%include subcategory2.html%>
<%endloop%>

Lastly, thanks again for your help!

Eddie

Mmm...its just a case of using the normal <%category%> tag for 2 columns of categories, and then the <%loop category_loop%> one in home.html to get a single line of links

Hope that helps

How would I edit the tables in the 2 columns that the <%catorgory%> tag spits out?

If you are wanting to use 2 columns, but not in the default table that Links SQL makes, then search this forum for '2 column links'. This code is for links, but the principle applies to the categories too...
