TDSSE CMS categories

Categories in TDSSE CMS are available in version 3.10 and above.

Categories can be edited in the "List of Categories" section, which is located in the "Template Management" block in the admin panel.

It is possible to create an unlimited number of standart menu categories (Main menu, Additional menu), as well as an unlimited number of categories such as "List of articles". Categories cannot be created in the news section.

Instruction:

1) The first step is to create a list of the desired categories in the "List of Categories" section in the admin panel. In the editing form create a list in the following format:

"category number|category name" without spaces

for example: 5|World news

Each category must begin on a new line.

Make sure that there are no emply lines at the end.

The category numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are taken for default categories: "Don't display in menu", "Main menu", "Additional menu", "Article category", "Don't display". This numbers cannot be used for personal categories.

2) The second step is to display the categories on the web-site.

To display a category as an additional menu block take the "Displayes the main menu" code in the instruction and change if ($viewmas[$i]==1) to the number of your category. Paste the code into your template where you want the category to be displayed.

To create personal categories such as "Article category", e.g. to create your own category with a list of links to the pages of the category download the script, which will be used as the page of the list (the script can be renamed to anything you want, there are explanations fer the further configuration).

Also it is possible to display  the latest added pages to your category on your web-site. To do this you must use the "Displays short articles" code and change if ($viewmas[$i]==3) to the number of your category.

If you still have questions visit the forum.

The pages from your personal categories are displayed in the sitemaps automatically: in the html sitemap located at /map.html and also in the xml sitemap located at /sitemap.xml. The pages are also pinged to the search engines and to our ping service.
