category list

Hi, I try to display a list of a particular category and it does not work for me. Thanks.

My template is:

<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-4 col-xs-6">
    <div class="category-item">
        <perch:categories id="animal-care" label="animal-care" set="animal-care" required="false"><a href="categoria/<perch:category id="catPath" />"> <perch:category id="catTitle" /></a>
        </perch:categories>
    </div>
</div>

and the function:

perch_content_custom('Empresa', array(
            'template' => 'empresa_listing_subcat03.html',
            'page'  => '/index.php',
            'category'   => 'animal-care/'

Are you trying to display the content within that category? If so, your template will need to output some of it - at the moment you're just outputting the category title and a link.

Yes, this template is just to list links to the categories of a Set, but the problem is that the categories are repeated by the number of items in that category, I just want a list of categories of a Set for linking, view image.

error

Thanks Drew.

Ok, so don't use perch_content_custom() as that's for displaying content. Use perch_categories() to display the categories.

Hi Drew, thanks. Mi function isn't working :(

perch_categories('Empresa', array(
            'template' => 'empresa_listing_subcat03.html',
            'page'  => '/index.php',
            'category' => 'animal-care'
));

That's because you've been making up syntax :)

perch_categories(array(
    'set' => 'the-slug-of-your-category-set',
));
