Hello folks,
my site structure is the following:
Products
-- Notes
---- Product 1
---- Product 2
-- Web
---- Product 1
---- Product 2
When I click on "Products", "Notes" or "Web", the menu is folded out (as it should be), but in the main part of the page there is nothing to see.
How can I define content for those cases?
Thank you very much for your help in advance

How to show content on category links in navigation?
The link is: http://www.bit-informatik.de/cms/index.php
When clicking on "Produkte", 2 Subcategories are folded out, but I'd like to have some new content on the body-part, too.
Do I have to insert an article and to connect it somehow?

That was it. I just had to write it down to get the clue.
Jerome,
If you ever come to the conclusion that an article for the cetegory header, say Notes, has no meaning, then consider the following:
create an article in e.g. Notes, leave all fields empty except:
place a redirect [in the redirect field] to the first page under Notes which contains actual content.
Then clicking on the Category Notes will unfold the subitems and make the system jump to the first item under Notes.
Sometimes those "category" pages are pretty useless, it's more a way of organizing your content...
Kind regards

That's exactly what I want, but it doesn't work for me... I guess I don't understand it correctly, or something is wrong with my installation. When you go to http://www.argosmedia.nl and click on "Websites", you'll see a blank page. I want to redirect to the category below: "Ontwerp" instead. I followed your instructions, but to no avail...hidiho wrote:If you ever come to the conclusion that an article for the cetegory header, say Notes, has no meaning, then consider the following:

Argos,
it's easy (couldn't check your site - wont load).
Say this is your structure:
Services
- item 1
- item 2
You want that clicking on Services will make the article for item 1 to show up. How? Create an article under Services. Leave every field empty, but use the field redirect as follows:
and where you see id=2 you shlould replace it with id= id of the submenu item (move mouse over in the backend over the structure tree to see it's id)
remember; the easiest use is to redirect to the id of a menu entry, always put _top behind it, otherwise you'll get errors...

Damn hosting server was down, so you didn't see my site, and I could not try your suggestion. Now it's back again. And... heeha! It works! Very cool. I thought I had to use the alias function, but that doesn't seem to work, or I don't understand it. However, your method works fine. Thanks alot hidiho, I appreciate your help!hidiho wrote:remember; the easiest use is to redirect to the id of a menu entry, always put _top behind it, otherwise you'll get errors...
