Hi.

Is it possible to have more than 1 list of categories on a page.

I am using this code to display my list.

{exp:channel:categories channel="gallery" class="categories"}

<a href="http://{path=gallery/show}">{category_name}</a>

{/exp:channel:categories}

When I create another category group and assign it to ‘gallery’ it displays both in one list.

How can I separate them please?

Thank you

Yep instead of specifying a channel, just use the parameter category_group=“4” where 4 is the id of your category group. Then you can copy this to display a separate list for another category group. You can find the full documentation here - http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/categories.html

Thanks Dave. I cant work out what I am doing wrong. It isnt displaying any menu now.

I have checked and its the right ID.

Heres what I have in my code:

{exp:channel:categories category_group="6" class="categories"}

<a href="http://{path=gallery/show}">{category_name}</a>

{/exp:channel:categories}

Try specifying the channel as well, let me know how it goes

Perfect thank you!!

I know this is slightly off topic, but you seem to know everything to do with EE!!

I have been looking at conditionals, and I must be doing something wrong.

Can you see anything wrong with this code?

{exp:comment:entries channel="gallery"}

<li>
{comment}
<span class="comment_name"><a href="http://{url}">{name}</a></span> - <span class="comment_date">{comment_date format="%d %F, %Y"}</span>

{if comment_total == 0}

No one has posted yet!

{/if}

</li>

{/exp:comment:entries}

Thank you!

Seems like you’re getting confused between the channel entries tag and the comment entries tag. The comment_total var is only available within the channel entries tag.

You should be using {if no_results} to conditionally display a no results message 😊

Does that help?

I am getting confused with everything I think 😛

Thats worked a treat!

Thank you 😊

Good to hear! Just post again if you have any more q’s. Dont worry, I was far more confused than you 2 years ago!

Dave again saves the day, thank you sir!

Chris have you checked out the resources on our community page to help with learning EE?  You might find some of those to be valuable.

And of course, if you do have other questions, please start a new thread and let us know.  Thanks!
