Hi Dave,
I'm sure this has been asked before ^^ and it is simple. I am creating a list viewer blogs.php then a detail viewer blog.php
There are various categories such as music, religion, politics, etc already defined in a pull-down list aptly called "category".
I know I can define which category to display from the detail page:
'where' => 'category="Music"',
SO how do I actually call that from the url on blog.php so I can sort the different categories from one detail viewer page ?
Thanx in advance,
Avrom :))

Hi Avrom,
Do you want to display a display of categories or be able to filter blog results by category with the url? If it's the latter, drop the where and try this:
blogs.php?category=Music
This uses the built in search engine features described here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/viewer_search.html
If that's not it give me some more details (and urls if you can) and I'll try to help.
Hope that helps!
