I'm working on a portfolio site where I want the following public site structure that organizes projects by categories: /work/ -> Listing of all projects /work/strategy/ -> Listing of strategy projects /work/user-experience/ -> Listing of user experience projects /work/development/ -> Listing of development projects Then, projects would be structured as: /work/project-name-a/ /work/project-name-d/ /work/project-name-c/ /work/project-name-e/ ... My question is, what is the best field type to use to categorize projects? Should I use a Page with Multiple pages (PageArray)? I guess my confusion is moving from WordPress categories/taxonomies to PW's use of pages. Any insight would be appreciated.

I've been reading up on a few posts on categories but I'm struggling to get them working. I saw a video from PW1 and the example seems nice and simple:Output the categories, click one and the list of entries gets filtered. I tried to replicate that but no joy. I can't seem to understand how Ryan can output $page->categories from his page when really the categories are surely part of children()? Is it really possible to filter categories of events or news this simply? I've seen other examples in the forums which look much more complex (urlSegments and the like). I currently have my category page set up as a child of home, and categories as its children. Before seeing that video, I had managed to output the categories like this: <div id="events_index_side"> <?php if ($pages->find("template=category")) { ?> <div class="events_index_side_box"> <h5 class="page_header">By category</h5> <ul> <?php $categories = $pages->find("template=category"); foreach ($categories as $category) { ?> <li><a href="<?php echo $page->url . $category->name; ?>"><?php echo $category->title; ?></a></li> <?php } ?> </ul> </div><!-- /.events_index_side_box --> <?php } ?> but using this method, I'm not quite sure how I can get the page to reload with just those categorised entries? Would appreciate if anyone could give me a shove in the right direction. Thanks.

Hello everyone, Brand new to PW and after few hrs loving the potential and control but hating my state of ignorance I understand that page hierarchy is one way to organize (categorize) content so I am trying to build Categories for use in a Blog type of content. So far, I have made a page called "Categories" with simple just "title" field and created children records (subcategories). In my 'blog' I created a field called "categories" and used it to pull records from the page above. However, any input field type I choose does not pull children records and only parents are shown.(i.e camping and photography) The only field type that is capable is "PageListSelectMultuple*" but unfortunately there is no way to prevent duplicated categories/pages to be selected. Checkboxes would be my preference but not sure how to go about it all or what am I missing in the setup. Thank you for your time. O.T. but where would I find 'skyscraper site profile' to download?

Hi, I am creating a simple blog section, I want to display categories on each blog post. For the categories I have created a page (hidden) called 'Categories' and for each category a child page under this: On my blog-entry template I have added a page field type called 'categories' which allows me to select multiple categories from my parent page shown in the image above. Is this the right approach? Just having trouble displaying the categories on my blog-entry template: <?php /** * Blog Entry * */ include("./head.inc"); ?> <h1><?=$page->title?></h1> <p>Date:<?=$page->date?></p> <p>Category:<?=$page->categories?></p> <div id='bodycopy'> <?=$page->body?> </div> <?php echo $page->comments->render(); echo $page->comments->renderForm(); ?> <?php include("./foot.inc"); I have applied 2 categories to this blog post my categories are being listed as '1034|1033' so obviously my code is not right. heres a link which shows this: http://www.hoof.net.au/pwire/blog/blog-entry-1/ Also, how do i go about having a list of category links which display those blog posts, would it require a new page template like an 'archive' blog posts template. I'm not sure how to approach this. thanks, Alex
