I’m currently updating our school’s website and I placed three links right at the top of the page: students, parents, alumni.

The idea is that when I click on a certain link, I only get relevant articles from all categories , e.g. for students.

I could create new categories and duplicate relevant articles but then I would have to update each article twice – since being in two different categories.

Then I thought about adding specific tags to the relevant articles and then only show the articles, e.g. with the tag ‘student’.

But then – after adding more articles in the future, the important articles might be shown at the end of the list, since I can only use ordering parameters like date, etc.

Is there another way to do it? Or a well-working extension?

Hi,

How can I see this bug on your site? Please give me the URL of your site and a screenshot with description on that. I will help you to check this.

well, it is not a bug. I just wanted to know if anyone had an idea how to show chosen articles from several, different categories. So if a student clicks on the menu item "’student" he can see only articles that might interest him. Not articles that might be interesting, e.g. for parents.
The links are in the top right corner – next to the search icon.

I tried to find the solution for you but sadly there is no option in the core of Joomla to do this. You can post your request to Joomla forum. Hope you will get the best answer from good guys on that.
