Problem with content/news items not visible in categories

optimus_prime · 13.04.2004, 09:09

Hello I'm working on my first mambo site, and I have created several content categories, created several content "articles" and placed them in the categories. I added a link to the category to the menu, but when you click on the category, none of the content appears - nothing. How do I get my content to appear?

Better yet, I'd like my content to appear like this:
http://www.devshed.com/c/b/Administration/
I'd like the article intros to appear on the left with a list of all the articles on the right just like devshed does. Anyone know how I can make this happen?

Thanks in advance!!

Firstly devshed had a bit of custom work done on it to get it looking like it did.

The more articles area can be achieved through the use of a module, like my Display News - Latest module.
In fact it could do everything that is being achieved at devshed with what I'm guessing is also a module.

Read here for information on it and where to download it:

Please read the online readme or you won't know how to use the parameters (there are 57).

For more insight in how to use it:

If you want help on how to configure the module, post here and I'll provide support.

No idea why this is happening. Are you sure you've pubished the section, category and content item?

Thanks for the tip about display latest news... I'll definately look into that!

Heres a wierd thing:

If I create a menu link to the Content Section, it works - when I click the link I get list of content categories with articles and links to get to the articles.

If I create a menu link to the Content Category - nothing shows up when I click the link.

I'm pulling my hair out here... I wonder whats happening??

What version of MOS are you using?

Is your site 'live'
