Hi Jonathon

“Now do you see my dilema?”

No I don’t, I must be missing something.

Firstly, did you try any of the suggestions offered.?
And what where the results ?
Was there errors or just non display ?

Secondly, the cat id is passed to or via the category template, which is where the links are displayed.
You can do a dump to see all the variables available, search for dump in this forum for further info.

Thirdly, I just placed the following in the link.html template and displayed Category, Search and other / non.
Screenshot attached has the results.

<%if category_id%> <ul><li> if category_id
<%elseif link_results%> <ul><li> elseif link_results
<%else%>
Non link page
<%endif%>

<%if category_id%> </li></ul>
<%elseif link_results%> </li></ul>
<%else%>
<%endif%>
