    • How to show categories?

    Posted by Gruz_ posts: 5

    I want to use articles as it's done at iraqwar.ru.

    I want to divide articles into several logical categories as

    __News
    Analitics
    Statistics
    Smth. else.__

    What way have I to use?

    No I've created several categories and assigned posts to them. What is the way to show the lists of the posts in several blocks on the home page? How can I show a menu containing my categories:

    News
    Analitics
    Statistics
    Smth. else.


    Thanks!!!

    Hi, I hope I understand what you want to do!

    Remember though that there are two types of Categories. The Categories for articles and the general Categories as found in the side menu. Both may be used for sorting. I am assuming you mean the articles Categories!

    Once you have created your categories and articles,

    To add articles to your wiki page use something like this,
    {ARTICLES(max=>3,topic=>Site News)}{ARTICLES}
    In this case "Site news" is a category I have.

    Check out these links.
    forum post-Articles home
    PluginArticles, PluginArticle, PluginsList

    For the menus.
    Make a menu that has links like this (using the "menus" option in the admin drop down on the main menu)

    tiki-list_articles.php?topic=1
    The topic id in this case points to my "Site news" cat. This should open a page with a list of items from this cat.

    I hope that is what you were asking,

    James

    NOTE; if you use the main category list (in the main menu) you can also have other areas included such as blogs , wiki, forums, ect. The links provided should help with this as well!
