Use the Categories widget to display categories on your page. The categories are then used to filter content. By clicking different categories from the treeview displayed on the webpage, you can filter the content of the page. By using hierarchy of categories, you can filter content items according to more general or more specific criterion.
PREREQUISITES: You have created at least two categories.
For more information about when and how to use categories, see Use categories.
To configure the Categories widget, perform the following:
NOTE: You enter the URL name in the following format ~/<URL name of page>. For example, if the title of the page is About us, the automatically generated URL name is about-us (in case you have not changed it), then in BaseUrl input field you enter ~/about-us. You can find out the URL name of a page in the address bar of the browser, when a page is opened in content editing mode. The URL name is the name after the name of the project (http://…/<project name>/<page-name>/…) or you can see the URL name in the properties of the page. For more information, see Edit and delete a page.
For example, when you click a category and you want only events classified with this category to be displayed, in ContentType enter Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model.Event.
NOTE: To show categories that are assigned only to a specific dynamic content type, in field DynamicContentType, enter Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.<Module_name>.<ContentType_name>
For more information about creating categories, see Create categories. For more information about how to add a category to a content item, see Add categories and tags to content items.
For more information about configuring other properties, see Advanced configuration of widgets.
NOTE: This is different than the single item name, for example Geographic region. In addition, you cannot use empty spaces in the FieldName input field.
