Hey,

I’m trying to build a blog in EE and am having some trouble displaying categories that a weblog entry is posted into alongside the number of comments. 

The comments portion is working fine, but it is currently displaying all categories rather than just the one/s the entry is posted into.  Here’s my code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="books"}
<div class="books">
<h3><a href="http://{title_permalink=">{title}</a></h3>
<h4>{authors}</h4>
<p>{short_info}<br />
{thumb_img}</p><h5>{price}</h5>

<p>Posted in: </p>

<p>{exp:weblog:categories weblog="books" style="nested" id="category_nav" show_empty="no" }<br />
         <a href="http://{path=books/list}">{category_name} </a>| </p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:categories} | comments {comment_total}</p>

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

Any tips on what I’ve done wrong?

I’m trying to achieve the ‘posted in’ and ‘comments’ as seen here:  http://tiny.cc/g0f2w

Thanks.

Hi Shell,

You are using the wrong tag to pull your category data - that tag is supposed to pull all the categories hence it is.

You need the {categories} variable pair as seen here:

http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/weblog/variable_pairs.html#var_categories

So should be:

Posted in:

{categories}<a href="http://{path=books/list}">{category_name} </a>{/categories}  | comments {comment_total}

Thanks Gareth….all makes sense now!
