I have read the article here: http://support.mintjoomla.com/en/cobalt-7/questions/How +to+create+link+to+category-1698.html
I have successfully created a category link as follows:
/index.php?option=com_cobalt&view=records§ion_2-crr-reviews&10-review-requests
This worked but loaded the section page, even though the browser link indicated the category as well. I then created another template but then I get a 500 error... sigh
I really am trying to do something which should be very simple:
It is very important that review requests and reviews are kept separate, even though they are part of the same type. The reason for this is that only the reviewers can access the article to edit and download the book. These articles must not show to public or any other group until the review is complete (copyright laws).
I tried to create two sections for one type, i.e. reviews and review requests, thinking that the reviewer could simply reassign the section when doing the edit and adding the review. Problem: the review section does not appear so we cannot reassign the article.
So now I have tried creating categories: reviews and review requests. This will enable the reviewers to reassign the articles, but I cannot create a link to only the review requests category, it goes only to section or 500 error.
I essentially need category review requests, available only to reviewers, then to reassign these to category reviews which is available for public viewing and no editing at all except by super user.
Oh pretty please can you help? I know I'm trying your patience to the limit and I grovel in abject apology in advance.....
