Blog Categories Help

Post by gvaughan55 »

I am new to CMSMS and I want to use the categories in blogs to show each category on a different page. Two different blogs for staff members. I figured out how to display different categories of the news on certain pages but cannot figure out how to do this in blogs if it is even possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yea I see what you mean, this is what I see in blogs help...

(optional) catid="" - --Add Me - module:Blogs string:helpcatid--

So I guess the catid id is what you put in Category textid: when I was playing around with it I named both the top 2 fields the same, like home, so I guess it would be {Blogs catid="home"}...

Myself I just remade News to be Blog, my only problem was that I couldn't add an article to more than one category...
