Hello,

I'm happy to have found the CCK component with it's flexibility.

What I do not manage to do so far is to set up a layout that displays all instances of only one category.

How do I do that?

Thanks.

Hello

In our Joomla CCK component ordasoft.com/cck-content-construction-kit-for-joomla.html
there 2 different layouts which you may use:
- All instances
- Category

"All instances" - you use and create when you need show all books or all documents or all video... Not depend from which category they from.

"Category" - you use when you need show items only from some category.

workflow, There we check how create BookLibrary site with help OrdaSoft Joomla CCK :
You create booklibrary site (as example)
1. You create "Entity" -> "Book"
2. You go to layouts and create "Add Book" layout, and add to it all fields which you need, And field "Category" also
3. You go to layouts and create "Show Book" Detail layout, for show all details from book
4. You go to layouts and create "Show Book" for Category layout, for show short description from book: Title, Author, image, Short description.
5. You go to layouts and create "Show Category" layout, for show books from category: And you Attach there "Show Book for Category" layout from point 4
6. You go to "CCK categories manager" and create Categories
7. You go to "CCK Instances manager" and create Books
8. You go to "Joomla menu manager" and create menu to "CCK Category Layout"

Thank you for your detailed reply.

When I follow your instructions I come up with a page showing this:

{|l-20|}


While 20 is the ID of the layout for the instances of the selected category.

What can I do?

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

1. Please resave layout with ID 20 and resave layout where to you inserted "layout with ID 20"(layout which you try show) and resave menu
2. Please recheck Plugin "Content - Load Modules" - it must be enabled.
