Hi,

My name is Andre and I am searching for a way to list all the categories from news in a menu.


I have been searching on the forum for this info but didn't found anything.

Can someone please help me?

Make a look to the default summary template - the first part gives the output you want ;).

Great, worked better.

Now I just have like

NewsCategory (1) in the menu.

Do you know any way to take the (1) out?

Thanks for your help.

Go to News Browse Category Template, search the template for

Code: Select all

{if $node.count > 0}
	<a href="{$node.url}">{$node.news_category_name}</a> ({$node.count}){else}<span>{$node.news_category_name} (0)</span>{/if}
and remove both the ({$node.count}) and the (0).
Use the default CMSMS sample content as a starting guide for CMSMS: most of the basics are documented there, and a more thorough documentation can be found here. Additionally read the Help pages of modules and CMSMS core. Most things are documented there too. Some templates are also documented with plenty of comments about the Smarty code used in them, so it is recommended that you read them too.
