Display Only Subcategory of Blogs
Is there a way to only display blogs from an individual category?
It is possible but not out of the box. You can create a new widget for that. I made it once but that code is lost so I can't send it to you :)
If thats fine with you, you can create a new page with title 'Blog' and then go to the redirect tab and enter the url of that category, e.g.: http://mysite.com/blog/category/mycategoryname
. When you press the 'Blog' item in your site navigation, it'll browse to the category page listing all the blog posts in that category.
A widget that displays all the blogposts from one category on an existing page isn't available unfortunately...
My blogs aren't being stored as a file. There is no category folder and when I try to view a blog I get a 404 message.
I don't quite understand your message, but if you get a 404 message on your blog: Do you have a page in Fork CMS with module > Blog added on the page?
Should these be under single pages?
Yes, if you don't want them to appear in the navigation, you can place them in the single pages section
Ok, then I still have a problem. This is the URL I get when I hover over a category on the blogs category page: http://fork.abateofstny.org/404/member-s-view
Hmm I'm not sure where your blog page is on that site (I don't find it in the sitemap?). If you get a 404, that means you don't have a blog page with the blogmodule added to.
- Do you have a page with the blog module attached? If not, create a new page and insert module > blog. This can be moved to "single pages" if you don't want 'blog' to appear in your navigation.
- Add a blogpost in your category of choice, and visit the blogpost. You'll see a link to the category beneath the blogpost title. Copy the url to the category.
- Create a new page, go to the redirect tab and insert the url of the category you'd like your page to redirect to.
Not deploying the module was the problem. I'm still trying to figure it all out!
Great! Let me know if you experience other difficulties :-)
