Hi,

Im using XOOPS 2 with wfSections 2.01.

All i want to be able to do is create a article structure as below:

main category 1
-sub category 1
--article 1
--article 2
--article 3
-sub category 2
--article 1
--article 2
main category 2
-article 1
main category 3
-sub category 1
--sub category 2
---article 1

Thats as far as i want to take it. Its a fairly simple task, but i just cant get my head around it.

I install a new wfsections module in a test XOOPS environment.
I create a new category, and use wfsection_catindex.html template.
Then i create a subcategory and use wfsection_artindex.html because there would be articles in that section.
Then i create an article in the subsection.

Now when i click on WFSection (main menu) i get the main category. When i click on the main category i get a an empty blank screen.

I have debugging on but nothing comes up. Im stumped.

Any help or if you need more info, please let me know.

Example is http://ep91.com/ep/modules/wfsection/

Regards,
ivan

Me too! I have the same problem! Although I have made sub-categories, there is no way to use them. The category space seems flat, singlelevel! Moreover I checked the database tables and there is no distinguish between a category and a sub category (for example a field in the second indicating that it is child to the first).

Some help guys? I need it urgently, I have passed more than 1000 articles having in mind the sub-category feature and now I cannot use it!!!!

I am not certain this will help but check your paths and templates in the admin. I don't recall selecting different templates when I created the 'categories'. I created them in the first box of the page management. The created the subcats. Just followed my nose...which version of XOOPS are we talking here? Mine is 2.0.13.2

You can go and search at smart factory - they have updated (are working on updating it?) and it's now called smart section - I think

here's how mine turned out: Jens classroom

There also might be other reasons for the blank page so check the faq's on that.

Cheers

Jens your page works exactly as I wanted. The problem is that in my dropdown box, all the categories are in one level, even the subcategories.

e.x.
let's say I want the following configuration:

cat1
-subcat1
-subcat2
cat2
-subcat3
cat3

When I create it in the dropdown box I get:

cat1
subcat1
subcat2
cat2
subcat3
cat3

So there is no way to distinguish between a category and a subcategory.What is your module version, mine is a "strange" version. Here is what I get from the "about" of the module

"WF-Section version 2.91
Release Date: Wednesday: 17 November 2004
Dev by WF-Section Team"

and I use XOOPS 2.2
