10/11/11 9:56 AM Hello, I am trying to create a page which will display a specific category or multiple categories, depending on some parameters. Similar to clicking on a category from the menu. I have yet to find anything which would easily facilitate this. I have been fiddling around with customizing a page type but keep getting errors. My hope was to build something in which I could use the page title as a parameter for the category. Can anyone give me some advice? Dan |

10/11/11 11:03 AM Sounds like you want to use categories for page navigation, similar to many popular wordpress sites. You can use posts instead of pages and assign the categories to the post. Your navigation would then link to the archives.cfm template instead of a page. - Mark - www.visual28.com | www.mangowear.com

10/11/11 11:10 AM Themes typically output pages as the navigation, not categories. So in your case you would need to modify the template(s) to hard code your category links into the navigation. - Mark - www.visual28.com | www.mangowear.com

10/11/11 11:12 AM To add to what Mark is saying, you would need to modify the skin, but you don't need to hardcode the categories, unless you want to add links to only certain categories. If you want links to all categories, then you can use the <Categories> tag to loop over all of them. |
