This must be an easy one, but I am new to CMS Builder. Please if somebody can guide me.
Just completed my first CMS Builder site. So far I did not use any “Search” to show results. Just made a separate section for each item category for my customer.
We have one section called Plastic Strapping Tools. You can see it here:
http://www.qualitystrapping.com/strapping_tools/plastic_strapping_tools.php
The section is becoming too large so my client wants to divide it into more categories, but to keep it all in one section editor. I suggested to divide it like this:
We will create an extra filed in the editor called "Tool Type" where they can choose one of the above from a list. Then on the main page there will be a brief description about what each is something like this:
Hand Tools < === This should be a link displaying only Plastic Strapping Tools with the "Tool Type" filed set to Hand Tools
Prief description about Hand Tools
Battery Operated Tools < === This should be a link displaying only Plastic Strapping Tools with the "Tool Type" filed set to Battery Operated Tools
Prief description about Battery Operated Tools
Pneumatic Power Tools < === This should be a link displaying only Plastic Strapping Tools with the "Tool Type" filed set to Pneumatic Power Tools
Prief description about Pneumatic Power Tools.
Can somone guide me in the right directions? I just need the code for the link. The actual page can even be a simple HTML page. The result page I don't have to change and I can leave as a PHP page. In fact, I have already created that page here:
http://www.qualitystrapping.com/strapping_tools/plastic_strapping_tools.html
All I have to do now is create the links. Any help will be apreciated!

You can set a search link to something like this:
http://www.qualitystrapping.com/strapping_tools/plastic_strapping_tools.php?tool%20type=Pneumatic%20Power%20Tools
