I cant get categories to open the desired page

I have created a blog with couchcms on my localserver (WAMP). When testing the blog on the server my left aside menu links that were populated using the masterpage tag are not working. when i hover over them they correctly identify the page-id [http://localhost/mashariki-finance/projects.php?f=22] but when i click on any of the links it takes me back to the masterpage. What am i doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

Here is my code:
---------------------------------------
<ul class="blognav bx_fix">
<cms:folders masterpage='projects.php' >
<li>
<a href="<cms:show k_folder_link />">
<cms:show k_folder_title />
</a>
</li>
</cms:folders >
</ul>

Takes back like redirects to the masterpage? Does the URL change? Or is it that all pages get listed (as opposed to only those of the folder)?

Please post in the code of your template that does the listing (i.e. the cms:pages block).

Thanks.

What happens is, i have a default project page that lists all the entrys. using the if else statement i am able to display the list by default. from the said list i can be able to click on a read more link that leads to the specific entry. On the specific entry i have an aside menu that populates folder... when i click on this menu the page does seem to load by default backs to the list view although the address (on the address bar) changes to reflect the new entry id.

The portion of the code that I was interested in is the one that you have not posted - i.e. the one that lists the page :)

Anyways, I got what I was looking for - the URL changes to reflect that we are within a folder-view bur we still get a full listing.

Please take a look at the code where you are doing the listing (should be in the embedded 'project.inc'). It would be something like this -
Code: Select all
<cms:pages masterpage='projects.php' limit='10' paginate='1' >
    .. list pages here ..
</cms:pages>

To make that block handle the folder-view, please make sure you have the following highlighted part in your code.-
<cms:pages masterpage='projects.php' limit='10' paginate='1' folder=k_folder_name >

For details please see http://www.couchcms.com/docs/concepts/l ... pages.html

Hope this helps.

:D Very Excited!

Doing the following fixed my problem.

Code: Select all
<ul class="blognav bx_fix">
      <cms:pages masterpage='projects.php' limit='10' paginate='1' folder=k_folder_name >
      <li>
                        <a href="<cms:show k_page_link />">
                        <cms:show k_page_title />
                        </a>
      </li>
       </cms:pages >                                       
</ul>


I think my mistake was calling the k_folder_link instead of the k_page_link.

Thanks for guiding me to the solution and the exemplary support you provide to the CouchCMS community.
