Hello,

New to EE so thank you for your patience.

I’m trying to display a list of categories as a menu / navigation.

Not sure what other information is necessary.

Hi there,

You should be able to make use of the categories tag: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/categories.html

Post back here if you have any further questions.

{exp:channel:categories}

<a href="http://{path=channel/index}">{category_name}</a>

{if category_description}{category_description}{/if}

{/exp:channel:categories}

What part of this code do i have to change to fit my site?

Depending on your needs, you may want to include the channel= or category_group= parameters.
Depending on your layout preferences, you may also want to change the style= parameter.

So I got to display the categories however I’m running into another issue.

When I click on a thumbnail to view that piece of work I am getting this error:

Error

The following tag has a syntax error:

{exp:catcount}

Please correct the syntax in your template.

I can’t find any iteration of catcount in the code so I’m a little lost.

Thank you for your help.

It seems your trying to use the http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/category-count plugin.
The error may be related to it not being installed.

So it appears that this is an EE1 plugin, however I’m on EE2. I found this code snippet on one of the pages I think is causing the issue:

<div id="portfolioTitle">
<span class="subtitle"><strong>
{categories channel="portfolio" show_group="2"}
{category_name}
:</strong> No. {absolute_count} of 
{exp:catcount cat_id="{category_id}" status="open"}
</span>
{/categories}
<h1>{title}</h1>
</div>

Not sure what this code says if anyone can help me out.

Thanks.

You should be able to download a ee2 version of the plugin here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/101532/

THANK YOU.

You guys are the best.
