Give me examples of category fields? I need ideas
How Do I?
So im still learning and im confused about category fields. Does it have an output tag? How do u make use of it or some examples will be good specially category field dropdown… So if i have category fields like: Topic Name ~ text input Topic Description ~ text output ??????- dropdown?
If you are talking about native categories, then you’d create a category group, add categories to it and then assign it to a channel.
If you look at URL and Path Settings you’ll see the section that reads Category URL segment. If your Category URL segment is to set to category, and you you have Category URL set to titles, then a working example would be:
http://yoursite.com/news - shows all news from your site
http://yoursite.com/news/category/politics - shows news from the politics category
EE will dynamically load entries from the category specified in the URL with the standard channel entries tag. Example:
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="20"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}There are other useful tags such as Channel Category Heading and Channel Categories Tag.
Hope this helps.
Yes but what i mean is this
Category group>>create new category field
If my category group is named Topic then what category fields should I add to it?
Just a general sense of example
Or maybe if its called Genre, Catalogue, News…
As for “fields”, it depends on what you “need”. I’ve used it from anything from meta description to having custom copy for specific areas of the site.
But if you are asking the question, then it’s likely you don’t need any category fields? 😊
Hope this helps!
