Hi,

I’m facing the current problem which I must overlook in the documentation.
Please look at this page first:
http://blog.brock.be/index.php/blog_fotos/index/

As you can see in the left “column”, I want to show previews per category.
All categories are part of one gallery.

I want to show the lastest 3 categories on this page, including a link towards that specific gallery.

This is some code I currently have:

<h1>Latest Pictures</h1>
{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}" orderby="entry_date" columns="4" rows="2"}
                        <h2 class="category moreBottomSpacing">{category}</h2>
                        <table class="tableBorder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="380px">
{entries}
                            {row_start}<tr>{/row_start}
{row}
                                <td class="thumbs">
                                <a href="http://{id_path={gallery_name}/image_med}">{thumb_url}</a>
                                </td>
{/row}
{row_blank}<td class="thumbs"> </td>{/row_blank}
                            {row_end}</tr>{/row_end}
{/entries}        
            
                            <tr>
                                <td></td>
                                <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="http://{category_path=gallery/category}">http://blog.brock.be/img/visit_gallery2.jpg</a></td>
                                <td></td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
{/exp:gallery:entries}

I can’t seem to figure out how to do this.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Kind regards,
Christophe

Christophe,

If I understand correctly, I think you can just state the category to be display, and just repeat 3 times, like:

<h2>Category 1</h2>

<p>{exp:gallery:entries gallery="(gallery_name}"  category="1" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="1"}</p>

<p>{entries}<br />
{row}</p>

<p><div class="thumb"></p>

<p><a href="http://{category_path={template_name}/category}">" title="{title}">{thumb_url}</a></p>

<p></div></p>

<p>{/row}<br />
{/entries}</p>

<p>{/exp:gallery:entries}

That’s just from memory, so you may need to fix paths. If it was something different let us know.

Thank you Krimster. But isn’t the category hardcoded here? I would need the latest 3 categories. And as new categories are created al the time, I would like to have that created dynamically.

The latest cat id f.e. now is 23.

In any case, thank you for your replies !
