Reply To: Parent/Child Category Listing

@ Jess

If I understand correctly… Yes, you can do this easily with Connections. Here’s a doc page on how to do it with the cMap template but the same method will work with any of the premium templates.

Ohhh, wait, I just reread the second paragraph again.

What you want to do is possible. Here’s how.

First, create the page that will actually display the entries and set that as the directory home page.

Now, you need the Widget Pack extension.

You would add to category list widgets to the Connections Widget Shortcodes and configure each instance to display the Display specific category parent. After you saving the widget configuration you will be give a shortcode that can be used to embed it on a page.

With those shortcodes onhand, now create two pages, one for each shortcode. The shortcodes will render a list of the child categories of the selected parent category. The list will be styled according to the theme styles for unordered lists.

With those two pages created, create your origin page that has the two buttons which link to those two pages created in the previous step.

Hope that helps!
