Hello folks, I know I can list a category of catalogue entries, but if possible, can I display one single catalogue entry in a page? Thanks for any help folks!

Hi,

You need to use the main_content block. You can tell it to show a catalogue entry of a specific ID.

Become a fan of Composr on Facebook or add me as a friend. Add me on on Mastodon. Follow me on Minds (where I am most active). Support me on Patreon

Was I helpful?

If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

Thanks Chris, I am fighting with the ID at this time, if I named my catalogue entry "Pine" I figured I could use Pine or pine as the ID, but neither seem to work, or am I using the proper ID? I even tried Fpine as that is what is at the end of the url for that catalogue, and I tried "dendrology%2Fpine" as that is at the end of the url after id=
But none of my attempts seem to work.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Look for the ID on the edit URL, it'll be a number. (most IDs are numbers, there are a few exceptions where we typically have a 'codename' on the form, e.g. galleries)

Got it, and thanks Chris!
For those folks who may have the same question, here is where the ID is.

index.php?page=cms-catalogues&type=_edit_entry&id=3&catalogue_name=dendrology&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Ftpwtestuser.com%2Fcomposr%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dcatalogues%26type%3Dentry%26id%3Ddendrology%252Fpine
