I *think* this has been discussed elsewhere, but not sure of the version and sort of got lost in the discussions.

Using Joomla Categories and Articles as my example. On the Frontend, I'd like to make each Category in my grid be a link which goes to collection of my Articles with that Category assigned . That grid, then, would have links to view the article.

It seems simple enough, but I have to admit, I can't figure it out. There's a "Reuse" attribute in the toolbar that seems to fit into my thinking, but I just can't put it together in my head or my project.

Condiderating Articles and Categories have been generated with Cook (not the Joomla native, not handled yet) :

1. Articles tables must contain a 'Category' filter.
2. Call your page with
index.php...&filter_category=###

### is the id of your category
That's it.
Coding is now a piece of cake

And for Joomla native
index.php?option=com_content&filter_category_id=###

For some reason this approach is not working in joomla 3.0.
