Runway blog issue with Categories and Tags
Have installed and successfully set up most the the blog app within runway using this tutorial - https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/blog/runway/config/
Have routing sorted for categories and tags but have noticed if I have a Category called 'News' and then tag an item as 'News' the category link disappears from archive options.
If I have 2 blog items in News category and flag ONLY ONE with a tag of News then I get both Categories and Tags links in archive nav.
If I then add the 'News' tag to the second item, in other words all items are in Category 'News' and have been tagged with 'News', the categories option disappears.
If I then remove the 'news' tag from one of the blog items and re-save then i once again get both archive filter options.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Also on another issue I am unsure what to change to get the 'More posts' link to work. It appears on the index page under the latest blog items list. It is set to /blog/archive.php by default. I get 'page not found' when clicked, assume it should load a page show more posts but unsure how to set up and it is not mentioned in the documentation i don't think.
Thanks again for help.
I'm finding this hard to follow. Are archive options, archive nav and archive filter all part of your page? Or are you referring to something in the control panel?
Sorry Drew and thanks for weekend response.
Issue is with the page, Am using the included index, archive and post templates etc downloaded with the app.
have configured successfully the following routes -
Updated links in the index and archive templates eg.
I have 2 issues -
I am uncertain what to do with this link and route to get this to list more posts on the archive page. Sorry if I am missing something obvious here.
Both posts are in the News category.
If I add a TAG 'News' to both posts I no longer see the link on the archive page to the Category 'News' list. I only have the link to the TAG list on the archive page.
If I remove the TAG 'News' from just ONE of the posts then I get both links - to category list and tag list.
Unsure if I have something wrong or this is expected behaviour.
Hope that is clearer. Thanks
Those sample pages are primarily aimed at Perch users, so you'll want to update the links in the templates for Runway. What's the location of your archive page? You should be able to just update the link in the templates to point to that page.
Ah ok Drew thanks, error on my part, thought the page would work with and without the .php suffix. I had changed a good few of the links in the templates for Runway config. /blog/archive works. Sorry.
And the issue of 'News' category link not showing when posts have TAG 'News'?
cheers. Keith
What does debug output at that point?
Hi Drew
Have noticed that when both test posts in category 'News' have a tag added 'News' the category 'News' link disappears from both index page and archive page.
blog index.php page debug -
Thanks Keith
When you're adding the tag, is it in the same process as assigning the category, or are you doing it separately?
I am doing it separately. Both posts are already assigned to category 'News'. I am editing the TAG entries on their own. Thanks
What happens when you do it in one action?
Ok Drew I added the TAG 'News' in Meta and Social tab then went back to the Post tab for that blog item and re-saved (with category 'News' selected) This fixed the issue. Odd!
