I need help building a simple article manager. I would like to create categories with articles managed under each category. The page will display a menu containing each category. When someone clicks a category it will then display titles of articles contained in that category. They then click an article and are redirected to a page that contains the content for that article. Seems simple enough but I'm having trouble.

Categories:
Fall Design
- articles: pumpkin carving, fall colors and etc.
Winter Design
- articles: xmas tree, snow and etc.
Spring Design
Summer Design

Hi JWill777,

Try out the [url http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/Products_C2/CMS_Builder_F35/Sub-categories_Tutorial_P77230/]Sub-categories Tutorial[/url]. You can ignore the rest of the thread, just read the first post. Once you have that working, you can change your categories around so you don't have any sub-categories.

Please let me know how you're progressing and if you have any questions!
All the best,
Chris

Yes. The tutorial is perfect but I'm stuck trying to link to the article content. Category nav works fine. Right now when I click a category it shows the articles under that category. I would like to be able to click an article and go to a page that shows the article content. Link below of what I have.
