You can create different categories with this great program but what I want to do is have a different page for each category, so for example when I tag a post as news it goes to the news page, if i tag a post with opportunities then the post goes to the opportunities page etc.

Is this possible? and if so how would I do it?

Thanks a lot, and a great application that has been built.

Once you have assigned your news articles to different categories. You then define which categories you want to display when adding the code to your site. For example

Code:


<?php
$cat[] = "Cat1";
include 'news/index.php';
?>

This could would display only news articles that have been assigned to the category "Cat1".

In order to have the different pages setup like you mentioned you could create a few hyperlinks something like this

Code:


<a href="?cat=Cat1">Cat1 page</a>
<a href="?cat=Cat2">Cat2 page</a>
<a href="?cat=Cat3">Cat3 page</a>

Then use this code for displaying the news articles

Code:


<?php
$cat[] = $_GET['cat'];
include 'news/index.php';
?>
