    hi all,

    i’m trying to return entries from two different weblog categories (same blog) within a single if:elseif statement. can i not do this? here’s the code:

    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="25"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{bod_body_copy}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

<h2>Meeting Materials by date:</h2>

<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="29"}<br />
<a href="http://{title_permalink=board_bulletins/index}" title="{title}">{title}</a><br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

    it fails on this page: http://www.fchealth.org/index.php/board_bulletins/fch_board/ when it’s contained within an if/if:else

    {if segment_1 == 'board_bulletins' AND segment_2 == ''}

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" entry_id="94"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{bod_body_copy}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

{if:elseif segment_1 == 'board_bulletins' AND segment_2 == 'fch_board'}

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="25"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{bod_body_copy}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

<h2>Meeting Materials by date:</h2>

<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="29"}<br />
<a href="http://{title_permalink=board_bulletins/index}" title="{title}">{title}</a><br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}</p>

<p>{/if}

    but works here: http://www.fchealth.org/index.php/board_bulletins/test/ without the if/if:else.

    any ideas?

    thanks,
    vanessa

    how about {if:else ....
    or just use 2 if conditions.
    {if A then…
    {/if}
    {if B then….
    {/if}

    nessnzoe,

    Using lebisol’s approach of simple conditionals should do the trick for you. let us know how you get on.

    hi guys,

    unfortunately i’m trying to get both category 25 and category 29 to appear so it’s not really either this or that. it’s if the segments are A and B show BOTH this category and that category. it works outside the conditional, just not within.

    oh…wait! i think i get it. you’re saying scrap the if:elseif’s all together? just use if /if; if /if…right? i’ll give it a go. there’s actually five of these, but if they’ll work within simple conditionals i’ll be mondo joyous!

    i’ll let you know if it works.

    THANKS!

    {if segment_1 == 'board_bulletins' AND segment_2 == ''}

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" entry_id="94"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{bod_body_copy}

{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}

{if segment_1 == 'board_bulletins' AND segment_2 == 'fch_board'}

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="25"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
{bod_body_copy}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

<h2>Meeting Materials by date:</h2>

<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="29"}<br />
<a href="http://{title_permalink=board_bulletins/index}" title="{title}">{title}</a><br />

{/if}</p>

<p>{if segment_1 == 'board_bulletins' AND segment_2 == 'executive_committee'}</p>

<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="26"}<br />

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}</p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}</p>

<p>{if segment_1 == 'board_bulletins' AND segment_2 == 'governance'}</p>

<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="28"}<br />

{bod_body_copy}</p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}</p>

<h2>Meeting Materials by date:</h2>

<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="board_bulletins" category="32"}<br />
<a href="http://{title_permalink=board_bulletins/index}" title="{title}">{title}</a><br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}</p>

<p>{/if}

    fails silently with nothing being passed after the Meeting Materials H2. i might not fight this…just create separate templates for each page. i’ll let you know if that works!

    that worked…separate templates. not very elegant, but i’m not enough of a programming sophisticate at this point to do much about it.

    thanks again for pointing me in a direction that helped me solve the issue.

    best,
    v.
