How do i pass the categories varaible from the home page
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2016 4:53 pm
I think i have asked this question before , but somehow i have still now been able to achieve or solve this , hence i will ask again:
I want three boxes on my home page in my bolt-cms and when clicked on these 3 boxes i would like that whatever that box category is , a new page opens with only the articles related to that particular category .... now i have't yet been able to figure how exactly this would work , i mean i have the idea in my mind , but just can't get it to join togeather , so i know that the below line of code:
Will give me only all the articles related to travel ... and the below line code:
will only give me all the categories related to coding ....
now , I suppose i would have a template that looks like the below:
Check the 1st line of code:
The variable
is what gets passed from the previous template as the particular category ... but how do i exactly pass the variable from the main template ??
I believe the 3 boxs on the home page will be <a> tags , and but what exactly do i add in the href ???
I hope what i'am saying makes sense . Basically what i want is what is what do i add in the href of the <a> tags on the homepage and how do i pass the $categores variable to the next template that will load when i click on the <a> tags ??
