Hi,
I have created a 'list' page where the number of records is making the page a bit long. I am trying to create an index page where I can select a number of records by category. So I have created a category 'section' and created an index page from this that lists the categories. I have also added a category field (field type: list) in my data.
The problem is how do I make this work. When I click on a category on my index page I want it to filter the records and only show the records that are in the category selected.
Hope this makes sense,
Roger

Hi Roger,
Assuming that your field is called "category", you can search your records like this:
exampleList.php?category=123
On your category list page, you can generate links with the correct "num" like this:
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
