Categorising a long list of external links in multiple areas/pages
Permalink
Hi Concrete5 Community,
The problem I need help with is how to achieve the following:
> I have a list of approx 1,000 links to external sites.
This list needs to be displayed/organised in a number of different ways, for example:
> latest 10 entries to appear on home page
> ALL links will either be categorised as Type A, Type B, or Type C
> ALL links to also be categorised as Location 1, 2, 3 etc etc
> Links to then be displayed on various pages as a combination of the attributes above ie: A page showing all links in Type A, location 3, or just all Location 2, or just all Type B etc, etc
Can anyone give me any pointers as how to approach this, or where I can find some help, bearing in mind I'm a serious scripting novice!
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would probably use a table since that is what I am comfortable with and I find that relatively easy. Then I would get the table sort add on and use that with the table I created. Then the table could be sorted by any one of the columns in the table. Those on here that are more experienced probably have a better way, they usually do.
Thanks for your answer, I hadn't thought of this approach, but unfortunately, I'm not sure it would work for this example.
If we went to the Page for location 3 for example, would it not still show all the other information for other locations etc?
It should really only show the content specific to that page.
