I am designing a site for a wedding show at the moment and I am struggling to get my head around displaying entries related to categories. Basically I have 28 categories Beauty Therapists, Bridalwear, Wedding Cars etc and each of these categories will have entries associated with them.
The page www.mysite.com/exhibitors/ displays all my categories. I'd like the link to the entries to be www.mysite.com/exhibitors/beauty-therapists/ and that link to display all the beauty therapists at the show. But at the moment I cannot get the entries to display on the page, in fact I can't even get the page to display.
I'm using the latest version off EE and Structure, I have Zoo Triggers installed also with exhibitors as my trigger keyword.
I can post code if needs be but it is probably something fairly simple, I am new(ish) to EE, have built about 6 sites now but this is the first to incorporate categories. Any help would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks. Stephen.
****** UPDATE 2 ********
This is now working correctly. Updated code below in case anyone else come across the same issues. I had to set the setting in Freebie 'Always parse pagination' to yes to make it work.
Happy days.
****** UPDATE 1 ********
I now have the categories displaying correctly and the entries associated with those categories displaying when the category is clicked, the issue I have now is that I would like to paginate these entries but the pagination is not working.
I should also note this install is in a 'development' folder on my server which is located at www.mysite.com/development.
