[solved]displaying cataloger items of sub categories

[karry]

I am using the Cataloger module for a website (http://www.artonlinegallery.kfasterholdt.dk/index.php?page=kunstnere) with the following structure.

1. Artists
      1.1 Country (category)
              1.1.1 Artist (Category)
                    1.1.1.1 Image (Item)

on the Artists page I would like to show the all from the Artist category. I have tried using

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='Cataloger' action='all' sub_template='Land' recurse='categories_all'}

But then both Country and Artist will show up, is there a way to just display the sub category Artist?

Hi!

Add alias='Artist' . This will  loop the Artist list.

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='Cataloger' action='all' sub_template='Land' alias='Artist' recurse='categories_all'}

I can't get that to work, but I am new to Cataloger.
I don't know if I am explaining things right or I have done anything wrong in creating my pages.

It's like this

Artists
    Brazil
        Artist 1
              image 1
              image 2
        Artist 2
              image 1
        etc.
    Denmark
          Artist 1
              image1
          Artist 2
              image 1
              image 2
          etc
    etc.

Where do you define which category or alias they belong in?, as far as I can see each Artist has a page alias on their own.
I thought the categories came from the hieracy of the website, but how does it work?

If i use the

Code: Select all

recurse='categories_all'

it show only the countries as it is supposed to, but is it possible to only show the second level of categories?

Sorry but I missunderstod you..

The only way for you just now to show Artist(category) on Artists page is this.

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='Cataloger' action='all' sub_template='Land' alias='brasilien' recurse='categories_all'}

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='Cataloger' action='all' sub_template='Land' alias='danmark' recurse='categories_all'}

etc etc etc
You must do so with each Country-category.
Why? because you can't show sub-categories without add alias='page_alias'.

I would suggest that you did some changes.

Artists(content)
    Brazil(content)
         Artist 1(Category)
              image 1 (item)
              image 2 (item)
         Artist 2(Category)
              image 1 (item)
         etc.
    Denmark(content)
          Artist 1(Category)
              image1 (item )
          Artist 2(Category)
              image 1 (item)
              image 2 (item)
          etc
    etc.

Then put {cms_module module='Cataloger' action='all' sub_template='Land' recurse='categories_all'} in Artists content.

And in every country page ex. Danmark: {cms_module module='Cataloger' action='all' sub_template='Land' alias='danmark' recurse='categories_all'}

Hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks, that works!

I will just have to concider if it is easy enough for the customer to update the website afterwards, since they know nothing about code, but I guess they can learn that bit.

Good to know it works!

Please add [solved] before displaying cataloger items of sub categories.
