How To Display Images Tagged with A Specific Category Based on URL Segment
How Do I?
Hello,
I am hoping this can be accomplished with EE 5.3.0.
I am creating a photographers portfolio. Since the image collection is pretty large we would like to have the ability to return images based on the category assigned in the File Module.
Right now images are uploaded through a File Grid to a channel named “collections” and categories are applied to the photos in the upload dialog, or later in the File Module itself.
We would like a URL such as “domain-name.com/gallery/category_name” to display only the images tagged with that category. So a URL like “domain-name.com/gallery/water” would display only images assigned the “water” category.
I would be happy to use the category url_title if that is easier, but so far I have had no luck with either method.
Any help is greatly appreciated! If uploading example code helps, I am happy to add that.
I did just this a while back, the site unfortunately doesn’t exist any more so I don’t have any code to share.
Use the File module tag to output images in a category - https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/add-ons/file.html - that should (I think) respect the /category url slug to pull in images assigned to that category. Alternatively you could use https://gotolow.com/addons/low-seg2cat to grab category ID’s.
