I would like to remove the "All Articles" link and not have any categories selected. Basically, I don't want any articles shown until someone clicks a category or subcategory. Code below.

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php

require_once "/var/www/html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($categoriesRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'categories',
));

list($articlesRecords, $articlesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'articles',
));

?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>

<h1>Categories</h1>
<ul>
<li><a href="?">(All Articles)</a></li>
<?php foreach ($categoriesRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>

<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?><b><?php endif ?>
<a href="?category=<?php echo $categoryRecord['num'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?></b><?php endif ?>

<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>


<h1>Articles - List Page Viewer</h1>
<?php foreach ($articlesRecords as $record): ?>

<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a><br/>

<?php endforeach ?>

<?php if (!$articlesRecords): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>

Hi,

You could try something like this:

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php

require_once "/var/www/html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($categoriesRecords, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'categories',
));

list($articlesRecords, $articlesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'articles',
));

?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>

<h1>Categories</h1>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($categoriesRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>

<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?><b><?php endif ?>
<a href="?category=<?php echo $categoryRecord['num'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?></b><?php endif ?>

<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>

<!-- STEP2: Display Records (Paste this where you want your records to be listed) -->
<h1>Articles - List Page Viewer</h1>
<?php foreach ($articlesRecords as $record): ?>

<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a><br/>

<?php endforeach ?>

<?php if (!$articlesRecords): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>

<!-- /STEP2: Display Records -->

<?php if(@$_REQUEST['category']): ?>
  <?php foreach ($articleRecords as $article): ?>
     ** OUTPUT ARTICLES **
  <?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif ?>

This code removes the "All Records" link and adds an if statement around the foreach loop for $articleRecords. this means that the foreach loop will only execute if there is a category variable in the query string.

Hope this helps.

The "All Articles" link is gone but it still shows all articles when you visit the page. The problem is that we will have hundreds of articles and I don't want them all displayed at once. I only want articles show when a category or subcategory is selected. I'm also getting an "Undefined variable" error with your code when a category is selected. Sample page below.
