Re: [kapelle] separating categories

Hi Kapelle,

So all your articles are in one section and you have a pulldown called 'category' with music, software, and links? Is that right?

If so, you can "filter" results like this:

yourViewer.php.php?category=music

or in the code:

'where' => ' category = "music" ',

Let me know if that does when you need.

I'm not sure what you mean by "pulldown."

Instead of having Multi Record section editors for each topic, I have them all listed in one Category Menu section editor called "resources."

music, software and links are all under "resources" as parent categories, and I assign articles to these parent categories.

Are you saying I should create a Multi Record section editor (not a Category Menu) and add a list field, display as pulldown, create music, software and links list options, then tag my articles using this pulldown?

Yes, that's what I was thinking. I'm not sure about your site layout. Is there anything you need the category menu for or could you try this other method?

I'd start with the method (multi-record section with a list field) and see if that does everything you need.

Hope that helps!
