Categories??
I was wanting to use categories for ie: a model number - that was a simple list that you can select from the edit page - which then displays the select category on the page.php
is this what it can be used for or not? is there another way to get selected items on a edit page regards Ash
Hi Ashley, you could use Categories to do this. However, as it's not strictly a 'Category', I might use a Data Select: https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/attributes/type/dataselect/

okay - how do I then add this to the frontend page thanks for the help, this has been driving me mental
What HTML are you trying to output?
