I’m using the {segment_x} tag to dynamically assign blog and category names.  However, the segment does not appear to be working as expected.  segment_1 returns the value of the word preceding my index.php?  page and segment_2 returns the index.php.  Any other value returns nothing..

Any ideas?  My site path appears to be set correctly in the General Weblog PReferences..  Is there somewhere else to define the base path?

Thanks in advance

Further to this issue..

I have also checked my config file and it also has the correct paths entered..  For some reason the segment tag is startingat my domain name rather than my weblog url..  IE it is starting at:

www.gracecommunity.ca

rather than at

www.gracecommunity.ca/dyn/index.php

I have used this technique on other sites with no issues - I feel I must be missing something simple.. 

Could you create a file with a ‘.php’ on the end of it (a PHP file) with the following code and put it in your ‘dyn’ directory and see what it outputs?

<?php echo $_SERVER[‘PATH_INFO’]; ?>

This is what we use normally to figure out what is after the index.php and thus determine the values of the different segments.  I’d like to see if it is including the ‘dyn’ directory when it should not be doing so.

Thanks Paul..

The file I created was called output.php and resulted in:

/dyn/output.php

I found a reference in the Knowledge blog to changing a value in the index.php page for :

$qtype = 0;

in order to clear up some path related issues..

I’ve changes it to a 2 and it may have helped.  I’m just checking it now..  Strange that two sites on the same ISP require different configurations!

Really?  How odd.  When you say ISP, do you mean host?  It would seem quite odd for a host to have an odd-man out server that had what seems to be a bug, since most hosting places have all of their servers fairly synched up.

Yes - I suppose I mean Host - powerhoster.com - I think they have been having some server issues - I actually have had to move the site twice to different servers. 

Anyway - I am happy to report that the segment tag is now working with the change in index.php code..

THanks for the responses!
