Subject area master page, links sub-pages

    Is there an easy way to have a list of categories on one page then sub pages for each category (doing this in code on the fly would be my idea)

    I could easily go down the route of creating a page for each category and then using then linking it to the main page, but thats time and labor intensive for a dynamic library that could have new categories added at any time. Can this be done?

    Yes, this is possible. If you set the switching method to HTML GET and specify a category target address, category links will link to the page you specify in the category target address, adding a parameter for the category.

    Another approach would be to use the Enable Permalinks route. In that case, you would need to specify the permalinks page URL, make sure that switching method is set to HTML GET + Permalink, save settings, then go to your permalinks section and re-save your permalinks.

    I think that’s all the steps, although I have not tested this feature in some time. I could check tonight if you run into any issues.

    What shortcode would be used to implement the instructions above

    Is there any documentation on this that I can read? I have followed instructions above but cannot get it to work

    Not at this time, and I am leaving for a 2-week trip tomorrow, so no time to add documentation on this right now. I will look at addressing this in early June upon my return.

    Could you point me to anything I might be missing?

    If you set everything mentioned in my post above, then not sure off the top of my head. Perhaps you could export your settings and send them my way? I can take 5 minutes to see what I can find but then really won’t have time to investigate for a while.

    How would send to you?

    Could you send the .csv file as an attachement instead of inline?

    For the Permalinks page setting, you should just set ‘/resource/links’.

    Now, in terms of shortcodes, you have the [link-library-cats] shortcode on one page, then you have the [link-library] shortcode on the /resource/links page, right?

    What is the URL of the page on which you have the [link-library-cats] shortcode?

    After configuring this, did you go to Permalinks page and re-save your Permalinks configuration?

    The category page is resource/directory where do I input that?

    Plugin Author Yannick Lefebvre

    (@jackdewey)

    You don’t input that. You edit that page in the editor and put the [link-library-cats] shortcode on that page.

    Thanks for the help BTW I know you are on schedule

    Got it figured thank you!
