4.13.*: Defining reference page (Root) results in categories not being rendered #270

Closed magic-77 closed 2 weeks ago

magic-77 commented 2 weeks ago

I would like to define a category reference on a page. I have activated the “Reference category (root)” option and selected a category. But then the categories are no longer rendered. My goal is to have a specific category automatically preselected when this page is called up,

This module is integrated on a page with the news list module sorry, it is in german Bildschirmfoto vom 2024-08-29 21-32-22

That's your site structure, not the category tree.

@fritzmg you mean this? Bildschirmfoto vom 2024-08-30 13-33-54

fritzmg commented 2 weeks ago

Yes. You have set the reference page to "Alle". This is why you are not seeing any categories, as "Alle" has no sub categories.

magic-77 commented 2 weeks ago

ok, got it, thank you! But how it is possible to redirect to a specific category per default when entering the url?

fritzmg commented 2 weeks ago

I am not sure what you mean. That settings has nothing to do with URL generation.

For general questions you can also use the Contao Community Forum and Contao Community Slack.
