Main Category

[uksoreeyes]

I was wondering if there is a way to access the main category?

To access my first category listed under the main category I type this:

http://www.mydomain.com/4images/categories.php?cat_id=1

Can I access the main category by typing something similar? like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/4images/categories.php?cat_id=0

help would be great

Thanks Carl

There is no "main" category.
atleast, witch ever category is "first" is become "main"
so, what u see at index.php are "first" ("main") categories.
it's all up to u how u build your categories tree.
for example at index.php u have this categories tree:

cat1
--sub_cat1.2
-----sub_cat1.2.2
--sub_cat1.3
--sub_cat1.4
cat2
--sub_cat2.2
--sub_cat2.3
cat3[/list:u]
in this example "main" categores are cat1, cat2, cat3

is there anyway of seeing these categories on another page apart from the index.php. i.e. if I was to create a page called gallery.html then access it via: www.mydomain.com/4images/index.php?template=gallery

sry, I'm not quet sure what is the purpose of doing so?
but, yes, if put in your gallery.html template part from home.html, where the categories showed, then it should work.
