Adding "file category" linked list? - Stephen - 01-13-2010

I want to create a link list on the "Home" page that will bring me to each one of the "File Category" options (and possibly by group, etc. as well - but I think I can figure that out once I figure out how to do it for File Category").
This is a requisite ability before we can use ODM at our facility.
I've already looked in functions.php and see the database access stuff (and the javascript) which pulls the data from the database to display (around line 740), but I do not see how it is posted or how the categories are displayed. I don't know PHP very well (ok, I don't really "know" it at all, but I can dable in it and understand basic programming concepts).
Would you email me at: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e --> with any response here, if it's convenient?
Thank you.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but you could take a look at category.php to see if that helps at all.

Steve,
That doesn't really help, but thanks.
What I want to be able to have is a list of HTML URL links on the "home". Each one of these links would go to a different category (dynamically generated from database information, of course) when clicked.
By "go to a different category" I mean do a "select" but with a "where category=#" or what have you, and display only the documents within that specific category.
Basically, I'm asking for a 'static' list alternative to menu system that you've devised.
Thanks,
Ben

What about the "Browse by" feature that is already built into the system? You can just select a browse-by categrory there no? If you wanted to, you could even do a browse-by, then copy the URL and create a link with it to be hard-coded into the page somewhere.

Also check out the new Tree feature in 1.2p2.
