Category pages

Category pages can be created with a little assistance of the web designer. To kick of the creation of a category page, create a page with the layout set to category-page. Also add a title that is set to the name of the category for which the page is created.

An example can be seen in the pages/categories/classic.md file:

---
layout: category-page
title: classic
---

All other content in a category generation file is ignored.

Category Menu Item

To enable the creation of a category menu item set the site.data.setup.generate-categories-menu parameter to yes. This will create a drop-down menu entry with the names of the categories for which pages were generated.

PS: The name of the categories menu item can be configured in site.data.text-for.tCategories.

Category widget

As an alternative to the menu a widget is available that can be included somewhere to have access to the category pages.

Widget or Menu

Using the categories menu is not possible when the drop-down menus are disabled (by setting site.data.setup.drop-down-menu to no). In that case the widget is the only way to access the categories pages.
