At least in the PmWiki default, category links already display 

as 'normal' links, even if the corresponding page doesn't exist.

If that's not happening on your system, the a default must have

been changed somewhere.

 

 

I have finally found what was preventing my Category Links to not render
correctly. It is the Mediacat-2.0 recipe.
(http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MediaCategories)

 

I have noticed that the default html for category links looks like this:

 

<p><a class='categorylink'
href='http://hip.eharch.com/Category/Companies'>Companies</a>

 

While with Mediacat-2.0.php enabled, it looks like this:

 

<div class='category'> Categories: <a class='createlinktext'
href='http://hip.eharch.com/Category/Companies'>Companies</a>

 

Which explains why the category link texts render as if the pages did
not exist... 

 

I would like to continue using the mediacat-2.0 recipe but render the
category links correctly. Can the recipe be modified to avoid this
problem? I wouldn't know where to start.

 

However, the answer to your last question is 'yes':  The
$LinkCategoryFmt

variable defines how category links are displayed -- it simply

uses the same format as the other variables such as $LinkPageCreateFmt,

$LinkPageExistsFmt, etc.

 

Pm

 

Could $LinkCategoryFmt be able to solve the above problem? I have tried
to find documentation on it without luck. Could you explain it a little
more?

 

Thanks a lot!
