Hi Maurice,

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Can you provide a url so I can see what you're working with?

thanks

Hi Maurice,

Which page do you want it to be linking to? If you're just using the ['_link'] field, you can change where this goes by editing your section and clicking on Viewer Urls.

Hope this helps.

Hi Maurice,

You could create a textfield in your section called link where you can put a different url for any record that you want to link to:

EXAMPLE:
<a href="<?php echo $category['link'];?>"><?php echo $category['name'];?></a>

['_link'] is used when you want every record in the section to link to the same detail page.

Hope this helps.

<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>" class="menuitem submenuheader"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php $parent=$categoryRecord['num'];?>
<ul class="submenu">

<?php foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['parentNum'] == $parent): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a></li>
<?php endif ?>

Hi Jacgo,

Can you attach your categoryList.php file to this post so I can see your code? Thanks!
