-----------
sub-category

id_act:1       ;1        ; 2
name:sub1.1;sub1.2;sub2.1

Re: category & sub-category

Hi,

No problem.
There are two ways to do that.

1st way:
- 1 SQL statement with a join clause between tables
- use parameter \'headergrp\' to display the category.

2d way:
- 1 main block for main category, 1 sub-block for sub-category
- 1 SQL statement for each block (= 2 SQL statements)

See examples for building sub-blocks.
