Hi Lisa. Thanks for your reply and sorry for delay in responding…..
Actually, ignore my first post, I’ve just realised what I want to do is list titles of all other entries also tagged with the current entry’s subcategory - ie like an “also in this section” type panel. I want to include the current entry in the list too.
The current subcategory name would be in the url as segment4 (I have set up my prefs to be able to use cat names in urls with marker ‘category’), and I am passing the url segments to variables using the cat ID so that I can use those in my tags….like so:
<?php
// assign the url segment to a variable
$my_cat="{segment_2}";
$my_subcat="{segment_4}";
// check to the variable and assign the appropriate ID to another variable which we'll use in the weblog tag
switch ($my_cat)
{
case "reefdoctor":
$my_cat_id="20";
break;
case "expeditions":
$my_cat_id="21";
break;
case "join":
$my_cat_id="22";
break;
case "science":
$my_cat_id="23";
break;
case "resources":
$my_cat_id="28";
break;
case "news":
$my_cat_id="31";
break;
case "links":
$my_cat_id="33";
break;
case "contact":
$my_cat_id="34";
break;
// add more cases here
}
switch ($my_subcat)
{
case "madguide":
$my_subcat_id="36";
break;
}
?>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="staticpages" category="<?php echo $my_cat_id ?>" limit="1" }
{categories weblog="staticpages"}
{if category_description}
<h1>{category_description}</h1>
{/if}
{/categories}
<h2>{title}</h2>
{body}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
<ul id="category_entries">
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="staticpages" category="<?php echo $my_subcat_id ?>"}
<li><a href="{path="rd/resources/category/{segment_4}/{url_title}"}">{title}</a></li>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>
I am none too confident with writing php code so what I am not sure about is if I can do what I have done with assigning the $subcat variable (just copying what I was helped to do with the segment2 variable).
You can see what is happening at the moment here (down the foot of the page there is the generated list of entries for the current subcategory (madguide), but clicking the entry people doesn’t go anywhere…..have I done something weird with the path for these <li>‘s ?
Thanks for any assistance…
