How can I display the links A B C on the category blog? Topic is solved

[GillianBPP]

I am using a custom blog override (called 'gallery') to display a gallery of images for each year. The images are added in the article's 'Images and Links' tab, together with captions and, occasionally, a link to another page or external site to expand on the story in the 'Link A' section. Or at least, that's what I intended. The article titles are not displayed or linked as there is nothing futher for anyone to see. But 'Link A' does not display in the blog layout.

NB: The reason for using the Images and Links tab, rather than the editor, is to make it easier for my non-techy clients to add their own images and captions, field by field.

I had hoped that Link A would appear with the image and caption, as it is all set up in the same tab, but no, it only appears if you click on a linked article title (which I set to 'linked' for testing purposes), at which point all I'm presented with is the article title and 'Link A'.

So, I thought I'd grab the code from the article display, which I believe to be this:

Code: Select all

	<?php if ((int) $params->get('urls_position', 0) === 0) : ?>
	<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('links'); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

and added it to my 'gallery_item.php but that doesn't work.

I then tried just this:

Code: Select all

	<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('links'); ?>

but that doesn't work, either.

Is there any way to achieve what I'm looking for?

loadTemplate('links') is the file category/blog_links.php as you are in a category view and thats nothing to do with the links in an article.

what you are looking for is a means to get the aticle/default_links.php into the output of the category/blog_item.php

You can probably just copy the contents of that file and paste it into the blog_item.php - not tested but it will probably work.

Indeed it does. Perfect! Thank you very much.
