Answer
There are two methods for filtering the Blog:
- Filter via Liquid - This works with all Modules and WebApps - we'll give more details on this below.
- Filter via URL parameters. - this is a special Technique for filtering the Blog. You can read more about it here
Filtering using the category_ids parameter:
You can filter any Module or WebApp by Category using the parameter in the Liquid:
category_ids: '11111,22222'
...where 11111 and 22222 are the IDs of specific Categories in the Admin.
E.g.
{% include 'module', id: '3', layout: 'default', per_page: '20', sort_type: 'properties.name', sort_order: 'asc', category_ids: '11111,2222' %}
The trick is knowing which ID you need. Here are a few ideas:
- On a Category Detail Page, you can use the ID from the current category.
- If you have a "featured" Category you know you want to display on the Homepage for example, you can hardcode the ID.
