Content Categories Question

Sam Granato · March 2010

I created a content type called laws. I then created a state content category with the 50 states and abbreviations. I was able to create a drop down of the 50 states that takes you to a laws results page with all laws that are associated with that state. What i am wanting is to also list the laws that are not associated as well. See below:

Example:

EXISTING LAWS IN WISCONSIN

-Law 1

-Law 3

-Law 5

LAWS NOT IN WISCONSIN

-Law 2

-Law 4

Even further I would also like each law to take you to a definition of that law and which list other states have that law. I have gotten the law definition results but unable to list the other states that have this law.

LAW DEFINITION

blah blah blah

OTHER STATES WITH THIS LAW

TEXAS, OHIO, etc..

thanks for you help,

Sam

Sam, how are you displaying the state list? Is it with a filter as part of a link, like http://www.yoursite.org/lawslist.html?state=MD?

Yes example:

http://www.thepowerofparents.org/laws/laws.html

http://www.thepowerofparents.org/laws/law-results.html?states=TX

I am trying other options that allow more filters:

I don't know if this will work right off the bat, but here's a list template for your "Laws" CT. I'm actually having trouble with this very thing right now - I'll post it over in my other thread on content category abbreviations.

<t:list>

<t:list id="state">

<t:set id="statename" value="name" /> //we can't access state.name directly, so we'll do an end around

</t:list>

<t:if test="${param.state} != statename">

<p>My state property is not the state property in the URL!</p>

</t:if>

</t:list>
