Unlinked Categories links still appearing in article list pages Can't Post
I was hoping to ad some unlinked categories to assist me with creating some sort of archive article structure, so I created some unlinked categories called, e.g., 2009, january, etc., and made them unlinked. I was hoping this would cause the links next to the "posted in:" to not show the category links for those that I designated "unlinked". I removed the category from the article, republished, added the unlinked category to the article, and republished again, but the link is still there.

Am I correctly analyzing how the unlinked function is supposed to work?

Attached is a screencap with the unlinked category "January" still showing up in my main article index page.

Hi there,

Unlinked actually means that it won't show up in category lists. It does still show up in Breadcrumbs, however.

You could setup a workaround, though -- create a new category field called "Archive" and set it as a checkbox. Then, for any category intended to be used for archive purposes only, make sure you check this box.

Then, in your breadcrumb template, add a templateIf like this:

<!-- templateIf : $category.archive$ != "1" -->
breadcrumb category code
<!-- /templateIf -->

This way, only categories that do not have the "Archive" button checked will be displayed. :)

This seems to only affect the breadcrumb at the top of the pages, not the "posted in:" categories for each article. The breadcrumb include wasn't where I was looking to hide the archive categories. I'm referring to the behavior of this code on an article page:

Posted in: <!-- template insert : $article.categoryList$ -->
<!-- templatecell : categoryRow -->

<!-- templateIf: $isLastCategory$ != "1" -->
<a href="$published.categoryIndex.url$">$category.name$</a>,
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- templateIf: $isLastCategory$ == "1" -->
<a href="$published.categoryIndex.url$">$category.name$</a>
<!-- /templateIf -->
<!-- /templatecell : categoryRow --><br/>

Hi there,

The same code should work there. :) So, you'd have something like this:

Code
<!-- templateIf : $category.archive$ != "1" --> 
 
 <!-- templateIf: $isLastCategory$ != "1" --> 
  <a href="$published.categoryIndex.url$">$category.name$</a>, 
 <!-- /templateIf --> 
 
 <!-- templateIf: $isLastCategory$ == "1" --> 
  <a href="$published.categoryIndex.url$">$category.name$</a> 
 <!-- /templateIf --> 
 
<!-- /templateIf -->
