Hi Everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone could help clarify something for me.

I have a category archive loop here, that is spitting out the title of each document I have assigned to a category from my ‘document’ channel.

Just wondering how I can link the title to the actual document.
I’ve tried using…

{entry_titles}
<a href="http://{document_file}">{title}</a>
{/entry_titles}

, but that doesnt work.

{document_file} being the custom field that connects a file to its upload directory.

loop:

{exp:channel:category_archive 
     channel="document" 
     style="linear"
}

<!-- spit out the category title & description -->
{categories}
<h3>{category_name}</h3>
<p>{if category_description}{category_description}{/if}<br />
{/categories}</p>

<p><!-- spit out any documents associated to this category --><br />
{entry_titles}<br />
<a href="http://{path=SITE_INDEX}">{title}</a><br />
{/entry_titles}</p>

<p>{/exp:channel:category_archive}

Thanks in advance

Greazer, the category archive is meant to display a list of titles only, not gather information from inside those entries.

You could PHP or something similar to go into the database and retrieve the content, but do you need to see all the categories on one page, or would showing just one work for you?

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your reply.

I’ve actually been put onto this post by Lodewijk Schutte regarding “Nesting tags and performance in EE” : http://loweblog.com/freelance/article/nesting-tags-and-performance-in-ee/ which seems to be the answer I was looking for.

Thanks

Glad you found a solution. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
