ARTICLE CATEGORIE BOX

[vincitygialam]

Is there any ready to use box that I can add to a tinyportal panel where I have a list of all existing categories for articles and if I click a categorie I get only the fitting articles?  Like in a blog.

Sorry for delay in replying.

Pretty sure there isn't a block available to do this, but I'll have a check around and see if there's a workaround you could use for this purpose.

It should be possible to create that in a php block...

This can also be done with the menu manager.
Or do I misunderstand your question?
Do you want to show the articles or only the article titles?

[@rjen]

You can try this code in a PHP block...

It will build a list of all categories, and clicking the category will bring you to the category page, showing all articles in the category.

The category page will show in the layout type as you defined it in the settings for the category...

echo ' <div style="float:left;padding-right: 5px;"><img height="35px" src="Themes/default/images/tinyportal/TPov_categories.png"></img></div><strong>Categories</strong></br>' ;
echo ' <br>' ;
echo ' <hr>' ;

global $scripturl, $smcFunc;

$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
     SELECT id, value1, type
     FROM {db_prefix}tp_variables
     WHERE type = "category"
     ORDER BY value1 ASC'
);
echo '
<ul style="list-style-type:disc; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt 15px;">
';
while ($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request))
{
     echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?cat=', $row['id'], '">', $row['value1'], '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);
