Hi,

I currently have a different template group for each page on my site. Each template is then populated by a channel.

I have recently been asked to add a blog to the site with the possibility of having multiple levels of categories and an archive. So I went down the same route. I added a blog channel and a blog template group with an index page to display all entries, a detail page to display a single entry and an archive page to display entries by year/month.

I then tried to include a category group to manage the entries hierarchy. When I add a category and assigned it to a parent I imagined that the url’s would be automatically generated like: /blog/category/category1/subcategory1 but at the moment it creates a url like: /blog/category/subcategory1 missing out the category1 parent. I need to do it like this so that I can generate a breadcrumb trail from the url. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

That does sound somewhat complicated (and needlessly so), if you don’t mind me saying.

Yes, that would be correct and expected behavior. I suggest you read up on categories a bit, this is a great place to start.
