Active and inactive links

Are you looking at displaying these three categories of channels on a single page? Are these the only categorization aspects for these channels, or are they also categorized in other ways (e.g. Cooking, Video Games, etc…)

Hi, Yannick, thanks for the reply.

Yes, the channels are also categorized by topic (cooking, minecraft, shooters, travel…). I’m having some success using 2 different libraries, one for active channels (channels in the “active” category), one for inactive channels (channels in the “inactive” category); at the moment I’m missing the possibility to list all channels together (maybe using categoryoverride? or a 3rd library including all links?).

I have to say the use of multiple libraries is not so intuitive, and I couldn’t find any info about it in the documentation or tutorials, so it took quite some time to find the way to do it. I’d be very helpful to include something about this in the documentation.

Hi. I think you may be able to get what you want using 3 library configuration and 3 versions of each category. Each link could be assigned to their main category (e.g. cooking inactive, cooking active, minecraft inactive, minecraft active, etc…), but also be assigned to a second category that would include active and inactive links (cooking, minecraft).

Then, in library configuration, you could display only the categories for active links, only the inactive ones, or the categories containing both types of links.

Let me know if this works for you. I will strive to document this better.

Hi, Yannick,

That sounds good, I’ll try to take this route. Thanks for the suggestions!
