Im following this tutorial at:

http://www.boyink.com/splaat/comments/building-an-expressionengine-site-chapter-11/

It says the following:

“Because we’ve created this link within a weblog:categories tag, EE will render the link using the category keyword and the category_url_title appended on after the template name of chapter_11_product_list (ex: http://www.boyink.com/splaat/building_series/chapter_11_product_list/category/interior/).  (Note - that this assumes that, under Admin > Weblog Administration > Global Weblog Preferences you have EE configured to use category_url_titles instead of category ID’s).”

Does this mean for every anchor element inside weblog:categories, it appends the category_url_title at the end of the anchor value?

If by “anchor value” you mean the part after the pound sign (#) in the <a> tag, no—that part comes after all URL segments that EE processes.

Otherwise, yes—I believe the last two segments of the URL in question will include the category keyword (usually “categories”) and the URL-title name of the category, respectively. That’s how it works on my site.

Thanks, I think that clarified it a bit. What I meant, actually, was the href attribute value in the anchor element (i.e. <a href=“value_here/somethin/”> )

Yeah, I tend to forget that the “a” in the <a> tag stands for “anchor.” I always just think of it as “link code.”  :red:
