Hi, Like everyone else, I am very grateful for this new plugin! It seems to be exactly what I need, however, I am having a little difficulty making the links to the Entries work.
I have a project where a Law Office has several “Areas of Practices” and each Area of Practice can have 0 - 30 Services associated with it (in other words, subcategories).
There is a page that will list all of these out, and the “Areas of Practice” and “Services” need to link to their respective details pages if content exists in their description field, otherwise they need to just display on the listing page with no link. Oh, and there will never be a “Services” entry without a description, though there my be an “Area of Practice” entry without description.
I have set up my Categories as such:
Area of Practice 1
- Service for 1
Area of Practice 2
- Service for 2
Area of Practice 3
- Service for 3
Area of Practice 4
- Service for 4
Area of Practice 5
- Service for 5
Area of Practice 6
- Service for 6
And so on…
When inputting content, there is a weblog called hr_areas_of_practice_and_services with the “title” field and a custom field called “description”.
My problem is that I cannot figure out a way to make the links work for the entries generated by your plugin. I fear that it may be because I am a novice, so please have mercy 
I have tried category_archive, but cannot get it to do what I want. I feel like I just don’t have the hang of it.
I have tried entries, but they don’t get me the nesting capabilities I require, though the links are correct.
And I have tried your code. It’s by far the closest to what I need. It’s just that the links aren’t correct. In the code below you will see what I am TRYING to do with the links.
Here is my code:
<h2>category_archive</h2>
{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="hr_areas_of_practice_and_services" style="nested"}
{entry_titles}
<a href="{path=''SITE_INDEX''}">{title}</a>
{/entry_titles}
{/exp:weblog:category_archive}
<h2>entries has the right links, but doesn’t have the right nesting</h2>
<ul>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="hr_areas_of_practice_and_services" sort="asc"}
{if description == ""}
<li>{title}</li>
{if:else}
<li><a href="{permalink=hr/areas_of_practice_services_2}">{title}</a></li>
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>
<h2>child_categories plugin has workable nesting, but doesn’t have the right links</h2>
{exp:child_categories weblog="hr_areas_of_practice_and_services" parent="50|51|52|53|54|55" child_categories_sort_by="custom" child_categories_sort_direction="asc" show_empty="yes" entries_sort_by="date" entries_sort_direction="asc" entries_limit="6"}
{parent_category_start}
<h3><a href="{permalink=hr/areas_of_practice_services_2}">{parent_category_name}</a></h3>
{parent_category_end}
{child_category_start}
{child_category_end}
{entries_wrapper_top_start}
<ul>
{entries_wrapper_top_end}
{entries_start}
<li><a href="{permalink=hr/areas_of_practice_services_2}">{title}</a></li>
{entries_end}
{entries_wrapper_bottom_start}
</ul>
{entries_wrapper_bottom_end}
{/exp:child_categories}
A working sample (using the code above) can be found at http://hruhpa.com.s18903.gridserver.com/index.php/hr/areas_of_practice_listing/
I think the problem is centered around the fact that the {permalink} tag won’t work without being inside of the {exp:weblog:entries} tag, but I have exhausted my brain power trying locate it properly, so my code above has it not wrapping the permalinks. The way the loops are constructing when I put it in different places is driving me nuts!
If I need to create the links a different way, please tell me the best way to go about it. I’m sort of a newb.
If you are able to offer any help, that would be fantastic!!! Let me know if you need more details from me. And thank you very much.
