CategoryCard

Displays a visual card linking to a project category hub. Used on the Main Page to show all project categories with an icon, name, description, and live project count.

Usage

{{CategoryCard
| icon        = mimetypes-audio-x-generic
| name        = Audio
| link        = Projects/Audio
| description = Music, sound design, field recordings, and anything audio.
| count       = {{#cargo_query:tables=Projects|fields=COUNT(DISTINCT _pageID)=n|where=categories HOLDS 'Audio'}}
}}

Parameters

icon: Filename of the icon without the .png extension (e.g. mimetypes-audio-x-generic). Defaults to places-folder.
name: Display name shown on the card. Defaults to "Category".
link: Wiki page to link to (e.g. Projects/Audio).
description: Optional short description shown below the name.
count: Optional project count shown at the bottom. Use a #cargo_query for a live count — see usage example above.

Notes

For live counts, use Error 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'HOLDS 'CategoryName' ORDER BY COUNT(DISTINCT _pageID) LIMIT 100' at line 1

Function: CargoSQLQuery::run
Query: SELECT  COUNT(DISTINCT _pageID) AS `n`  FROM `cargo__Projects` `Projects`    WHERE categories HOLDS 'CategoryName'  ORDER BY COUNT(DISTINCT _pageID) LIMIT 100

.

Wrap multiple CategoryCards in {{CardGrid}}.
