I have this snippet of code running on my site:

I have currently 2 weblogs sharing a single category group, called blog and links. I have 2 weblog entries, one in blog and one in links.

Because I have the above set to weblog=“blog”, I wouldn’t expect it to show the category I used for my links entry in the list…yet it is.

Is this what should be happening?

Anyone have any ideas on this? I think I have another way of doing it, but I’m rather hoping this way can be made to work.

I think it is, you should have a look at the {categories} tag inside a weblog:entries tag, i guess that should do what you’re looking for.

Cheers, that’s the way I was going to do it (or similar). I was kinda hoping that someone could explain why the code I used in the first place doesn’t work - I don’t get why you can pass in a weblog if it’s going to ignore it in the results.

You’re right, it’s indeed strange as by my understanding, it should restrict the categories to that weblog:

The name (short name) of the weblog that the categories are assigned to. This variable is required unless you only have a single weblog.

Do I need to request that this moves to tech support in order to try and get an official response?

Greetings!

This is expected behavior, but there is an existing feature request open that you could chime in on. Also, I believe they have a few examples of how to get what you would like to output.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply Justin, I’ll do just that.
