I’ve been trying a couple different methods of returning all entries from a weblog written by a specific author and can’t seem to do it.

First, I tried:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="orders" disable="categories|category_fields|custom_fields|pagination|trackbacks" author_id="{member_id}" dynamic="off"}
   {title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

but that didn’t return any entries.

Then I tried an embed:

{embed="some/template" some_id="{member_id}"}

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="orders" disable="categories|category_fields|custom_fields|pagination|trackbacks" author_id="{embed:some_id}" dynamic="off"}
   {title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

but again, I’ve had no luck.

The embed variable definitely gets passed; if I just put {embed:some_id} in my template, the value gets returned. Or, if I hardcode the ID into either the embedded template or the embed tag, proper results are returned. However, I can’t seem to get my embed to work with the weblog entries tag itself.

Any tips?

did you try CURRENT_USER

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="orders" disable="categories|category_fields|custom_fields|pagination|trackbacks"  author_id="CURRENT_USER" dynamic="off"}
   {title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

?

Awesome, thanks! I didn’t know about CURRENT_USER.

no problem - I have the same problem couple months ago when do the same task - order list 😊 But in my case I overreach myself - turned on weblog’s sql request caching before, and after that forget about it and always have the incorrect orders list 😊
