I’m building a sports facility listing which needs to be a separate list of sports and repeat each instance of where a particular sport can be done. The ultimate goal is to list all results and then filter the results by selecting sport and area using JavaScript.

I’ve got a channel called clubs and all the sports are categories. A club can have multiple sports…

At the moment I have this output:

XXX Lads & Girls Club
Badminton, Boxing, Football

XXX United Harriers AC
Athletics

But I’m hoping to achieve this output:

Athletics - XXX United Harriers AC
Badminton - XXX Lads & Girls Club
Boxing - XXX Lads & Girls Club
Football - XXX Lads & Girls Club

I’ve tried using http://gwcode.com/add-ons/gwcode-categories/ with no luck other than outputting the fist example of code.

A prod in the right direction or even a solution would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Creative Lynx,

It sounds like you’re looking to list your entries by category, which is exactly what the Category Archive tag is meant to do. Have you looked at this yet?

Thanks Kevin. I ended up changing the design (tight deadline), which turned out to be a more sensible way of showing the information to the user. Originally there would have been repetition of each facility if it did multiple sports. Now I am just listing by facility and each facility lists the sports you can do there.

Sometime the solution isn’t a technical one.

That’s a really useful tag to know about, I was almost going to go down the Query module route!

Hey CL -

It’s true, sometimes the solution is not so much technical in nature!  Figuring that out can be a bear, though. 😊

I’m glad that you did get there.  If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread.

Thank you!
