I have several categories of Spaces that I would like to have direct links to in the main menu or maybe even a submenu. It would have the same affect as using the categories search functionality for spaces, showing a tiled view of the spaces in that category. Is that possible?

    • Hello @Corey Dozier !

      By default, every space has the category link in the Info block. The common categories list is placed in the Spaces Categories block which is available in the Pages app (see the attached screenshot).

      • Okay, using that block allowed me to find the URL to each of those categories.

        For example, I can use this link in my site navigation to view only spaces in a single category: domain/searchKeyword.php?cat=bx_spaces_cats&keyword=3§ion[]=bx_spaces

        That is a pretty messy url, though. It is complicated due to categories just being sorted by keyword searches. It also make navigating the site difficult...

        When I click on a Space category in a side column, I am taken to a search results page that no longer has that list in the side column. To help this, I can add the Space categories list to that page, right?

        Well, then I am in Groups and click on a Group category . I am then taken to that Same search results page where, again, I don't have the group categories anymore, but I DO have the Space categories that I added to that search results page...

        Now, the functionality on my "spaces-home" works pretty great and filters the Spaces using a search form and search results, but the URL never changes. So I am hoping to be able to do one of the following:

        1. Be able to land on the "spaces-home" page and have all Spaces showing in the search results section and then be able to filter them using the search form on the left OR
        2. (more ideal) Be able to link directly to a specific search result from that form and be on that page because it is still specific to the Spaces section of my site rather than putting me over in the general keyword search results of the entire website.
