dumb question re categories

Thanks Drew, I saw that. Maybe I am missing the blindingly obvious...

...But how do I actually show a category name on the output

so I have a set called 'trainers', within which there are categories eg reebok, nike, newbalance

so I might have a category reebok trainers

I want html output to show

reebok trainers

groovy shoes one

groovy shoes two etc

Hi Charlie,

from the page Drew linked to, you need:

If you wish to output a list of categories to the page then you can use the perch:categories tag pair with your markup between the opening and closing tags.

<perch:categories id="trainers" label="select trainer" set="trainers" required="true" display-as="checkboxes">
  <perch:before>
    <ul>
  </perch:before>

  <li><perch:category id="catTitle" /></li>  // this loops through and shows all the categories that have been assigned

  <perch:after>
    </ul>
  </perch:after>
</perch:categories>

Thanks Duncan

I have two sets, colours and trainers

colour categories red, green, white etc

trainers categories reebok, nike, newbalance etc

I maybe am not being clear. I don't want a list of the categories themselves, I want to be able to show a list of items that are under a category, so eg all the 'red' items or all the 'reebok' items

In that case, you're probably after these docs:

Thank you very much, why couldn't I find those docs doh!
