I'm new to html, and such. I can't seem to figure out where to place the categories codes to show which categories I've set up. I also am not positive in which template to put the codes...
Is there any place that could give me simple instructions - like Movable Type for Dummies?
Any help appreciated. TIA
Full Version: categories
Your default Main Index (Index.html) contains the the following
To display the category, you would change this
so it would look like this
Or you can add it and do both Monthly and Category like this
In the example above it essentially displays as:
BY MONTH
January
Ferurary etc
CODE
<div class="side">
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
</div>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
</div>
To display the category, you would change this
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category"
so it would look like this
CODE
<div class="side">
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
</div>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
</div>
Or you can add it and do both Monthly and Category like this
CODE
<U><b>BY MONTH:</B></U><br>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>" target="_blank"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br>
</MTArchiveList><P>
<U><B>BY CATEGORY:</B></U><br>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>" target="_blank"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br>
</MTArchiveList>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>" target="_blank"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br>
</MTArchiveList><P>
<U><B>BY CATEGORY:</B></U><br>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>" target="_blank"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br>
</MTArchiveList>
In the example above it essentially displays as:
BY MONTH
January
Ferurary etc
gives you papragraph spacing (same as 2
s (line breaks) together.
BY CATEGORY
This category
That category
You can see how it looks on screen at my site

You are welcome. I'm relatively new to MT myself. I was happy to finally be able to provide some help after so many have helped me.
