Main Page - Opens with Category QUESTION

[willie bee]

FYI did a search first and found nothing relating to this

0= Top Level Categories
Or enter the Category ID#
Note: Sub Categories can also be used Example: 3_10

I have three subcategories that I want to show on the main screen.

I followed the example

2902_2527_1875

But only the subcategory with ID 1875 shows up. The category IDs I want shown are 2902 2527 and 1875

Am I doing it wrong? TIA!

"0" shows all cats
you can enter one but not a string of several

I see. I took the example of 3_10 as two categories separated by an underscore.

[stevesh]

3_10 means, in this case, category 3, subcategory 10.

ZC should update the wiki!

When you say "ZC should do something..." who do you mean? ie: whose responsibility is it to "update" something?

ZC is OPENSOURCE - meaning that anyone can contribute.

If you feel you have an addition/correction to make to a wiki item, then simply register with the wiki and edit the item. However... better know what you are talking about, or you'll come across as a buffoon.

By the way... that wiki item is comprehensive and 100% correct.

Thanks for the explanation. But you are right. I don't know what I'm talking about which is why I won't update it. Just noting that it is confusing.

doesn't tell you much in what 3_10 means to a newbie. YOU MAY UNDERSTAND IT SINCE YOU'RE A SUPERB GENIUS WITH OVER 6K POSTS but most of us won't but stevesh explained it clearly.

er... don't shout please. No need to. The forum does not like shouting.

One of the things most newbies need to understand is that there is a LOT of existing help on the forum, for many of the regularly asked questions.

The forum home page gives essential advice for how to find answers, along with the need to read the tutorials, faq's and wiki.
