Hi,

I did a decent amount of searching, couldn’t find anything, so here goes.

This is what I want:

site.com/category1 - lists everything under category1
site.com/category1/sub1 - lists everything under sub1

I’m using a template to achieve this, now essentially, what I want to achieve is:

{exp:channel:entries channel="products" limit="5" category="{if "{segment_2}"}{segment_2}{if:else}{segment_1}{/if}"}

This fails as the category (as far as I understand) only takes id numbers, as apposed to names, any ideas how to get the id from the names and then to feed the id’s into the code above?

Thanks dudes.

You could use the query module.

Take a look at the Low Seg2Cat extension I’m pretty sure it should allow you to do what you need.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

I used the seg2cat plugin and failed miserably as pagination breaks the whole thing. I submitted a feature request to Low, hopefully the next version will do the trick…

Until then… we abandoned sub-categories :D

Thank you guys.
