Hi,
Using LinkedCategory in FieldDay, you are given the CategoryID for the category the user selects from the drop down menu.
How do I construct the category link with this ID. I was amusing I just needed to use variable interpolation, but there is no attribute I can find for mt:Entries. It does take category="#163" for example, but category="#$category_number" does not work, because of the # probably.
This has got to be an easy solution. If you can build an Entry link with an EntryID, why can't I build a Category link in the same way? The following code does not work, as there seems to be no id attribute for the Categories tag.
<mt:UserIfFieldGroup group="user_featured_group">
<strong>Featured Column(s)</strong>
<ul style="margin-top:0;">
<mt:UserLinkedCategories field="user_featured_category" sort_by="instance">
<$mt:UserFieldValue field="user_featured_category" setvar="category_number"$>
<mt:Categories id="$category_number">
<li><a href="<$mt:ArchiveLink type="Category"$>"><$mt:CategoryLabel$></a></li>
</mt:Categories>
</mt:UserLinkedCategories>
</ul>
</mt:UserIfFieldGroup>

Actually I forgot the loop. But even that does not seem to be working.
<mt:UserIfFieldGroup group="user_featured_group"> <strong>Featured Column(s)</strong> <ul style="margin-top:0;"> <mt:UserLinkedCategories field="user_featured_category"> <$mt:UserFieldValue field="user_featured_category" setvar="category_number"$> <mt:Categories id="$category_number"> <li><a href="<$mt:ArchiveLink type="Category"$>"><$mt:CategoryLabel$></a></li> </mt:Categories> </mt:UserLinkedCategories> </ul> </mt:UserIfFieldGroup>You know it might help if I pasted the right thing.
<mt:UserIfFieldGroup group="user_featured_group"> <strong>Featured Column(s)</strong> <ul style="margin-top:0;"> <mt:UserFieldGroup group="user_featured_group"> <mt:UserLinkedCategories field="user_featured_category"> <$mt:UserFieldValue field="user_featured_category" setvar="category_number"$> <mt:Categories id="$category_number"> <li><a href="<$mt:ArchiveLink type="Category"$>"><$mt:CategoryLabel$></a></li> </mt:Categories> </mt:UserLinkedCategories> </mt:UserFieldGroup> </ul> </mt:UserIfFieldGroup>And we got it figured out. Thanks goes to Charlie Gorichanaz.
