    Hello,

    Say I have a channel artists with {title} {bio} {age}

    Then I have a channel art with fields like {art_art_name} {art_desc} {art_image} and use relationships to link it to the correct artist.

    I can make a page under the artists channel that lists the title bio and age of the artist, and I can show the art on that page by using reverse relationship tag.

    My question is, if each art entry is set to a category, can I show on page by category?

    ie

    Category 1
    {art_art_name} {art_desc} {art_image
    {art_art_name} {art_desc} {art_image

    Category 2
    {art_art_name} {art_desc} {art_image

    Category 3
    {art_art_name} {art_desc} {art_image
    {art_art_name} {art_desc} {art_image

    etc

    Thank you!

    Hi Brian_az,

    Sure! That’s not difficult at all. Sounds like you just need to use the Channel Category Archive Tag.

    Does that help?

    Nope, no good. It looks like you cant use categories with reverse related. Bummer too.

    Sorry about that, Brian. Looks like that caveat slipped my mind.
