Hi,

How "deep" do your categories go? i.e does it just have "Test" , "Test 1" , and NOT "Test/something"

..ie. are your categories only one level deep, or more?

Either way, its still a little complex to do. You could do it with my PageCreator plugin - and set each category to build manually, using the "Condition" feature thats part of the plugin (however, for every category you would need to setup new "pages"). This will only really work if you are doing it for 1 level deep categories. Having more than one level, would really require some kind of custom work.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi Andy!

no, I don't have deep cats( eq subcats)
Just:
Cat1
Cat2

What code should I use in 'filename' field when I build cats in that way? (cat.html, cat2.html,etc) ?
