Can I do this?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog=$weblog['title']}

I just get errors.

No, you can’t do this. What are you trying to achieve?

I’m trying to build a hierarchical page navigation, I’ve been trying for the past 8 hours to do something that takes 2 lines of code in Wordpress. Starting to get slightly frustrated :(

The really annoying thing is I can see the admin side doing it perfectly when you view the Pages module.

you’ll probably have better luck leaving template tags out of the equation completely… just use php and $DB queries

Well, you can use PHP, just need to enable it and declare it properly. Try this on “Input”:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="<?php echo $weblog['title'];?>"}

Make sense? You probably need to declare the weblog array somewhere, too.

This won’t work with my template as I have php generating the XML template everything is wrapped in php already, hence why I just want to use the variable.

What’s the point in allowing php in templates if you’re actually restricted in where you can use the php?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sections>
<?php
global $DB;
$query = $DB->query("SELECT site_pages FROM exp_sites WHERE site_id='1'");
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
    foreach($query->result as $row) {
        $pages = unserialize($row['site_pages']);
        $uris = $pages['uris'];
        asort($uris);
        foreach ($uris as $uri) {
            echo "<item>";
            echo "".$uri."</permalink>";
            $segments = explode("/", $uri, -1);
            $numSegments = sizeof($segments) - 1;
            $weblogQuery = $DB->query("SELECT * FROM exp_weblog_titles WHERE url_title = '$segments[$numSegments]'");
            if ($weblogQuery->num_rows > 0){
                foreach($weblogQuery->result as $weblog) {
                    echo "<title>".$weblog['title']."</title>";
                }
            }
            echo "</item>";
        }
    }
}
?>
</sections>
</sections>

Well, you’d still need an actual “echo” statement, wouldn’t you?

No. If I put an echo statement there it won’t work. I just get php errors.

I’ll figure something out and when I do I’ll post it here.
