hi,

I have a template group cars
I have a category group 1 cars
Inside category group 1 cars, I have 3 categories bmw, toyota, audi

so when I go to mysite.com/cars using this code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="cars" category_group="1" status="open"}

show JUST the entries that I assign to category group 1, GREAT!!!

so whats the problem?

when I go to mysite.com/cars/category/bmw/ DONT SORT the entries by category! why? because I need this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="cars" status="open"}

without category_group=“1” for works the sort entries by categores.

how do it?

Bmovie,

What is your Category URL Indicator?
CP Home ›  Admin ›  Weblog Administration ›  Global Weblog Preferences

thanks John, the indicator is “category”

so I use the template “cars” for show entries of the category group 1, and when I try to sort by categories inside category group 1 like bmw etc… dont sort anything beacuse I need remove of the code “category_group=“1” so I think in use segments or is more simple to make that working?

I mean something like this, for just use “category_group=“1” for /cars ad not for /cars/category the problem too is segment 1 cars works too for category beacuase category is inside cars… so the “if” dont work too.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="cars" {if segment_1 == "cars"} category_group="1" {/if} status="open"}

please help my site dont sort anything at this moment

Bmovie,

You would be better off putting the conditional around the whole block.

{if segment_1 == "cars"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="cars" category_group="1" status="open"}  
{/if} 

{if segment_2 == "category"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="cars" status="open"}  
{/if}

Let me know if that works for you

John thanks but dont work! why? is a thing that I never understand about segments… and is this:

{if segment_1 == "cars"}
hello moon!  
{/if}

{if segment_2 == "category"}
hello sun!
{/if}

If I go to mysite.com/cars show “hello moon!” and if I go to mysite.com/cars/category show “hello moon!” too!!! not shot hello sun! why ??? beacuse category is inside cars so segments in almost all cases dont work beacuse dont respect the 2 3 4 5 positions if is inside other… you understand me?

please help my site dont sort anything at this moment, I dont know how sort entries by categories, if is not with categories, whats the method?

Bmovie,

Keep in mind you can do this for the first piece of code:

{if segment_1 == "cars" AND segment_2 == ""}
hello moon!  
{/if}

thanks Brandon, but use “” let /cars entirely white screen, the point here is really how erase category_group=“2” when I go to /cars/category for make the sort by categories work… how? thanks

this is my code, but dont work:

{if segment_1 == "cars"}
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" category_group="2" status="open"}
{/if}

{if segment_2 == "category"}
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" status="open"}
{/if}

You can’t separate your opening entries tag like that.  You would need to encapsulate your entire entries tag:

{if segment_1 == "cars"}
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" category_group="2" status="open"}
{title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if} 
{if segment_2 == "category"}
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" status="open"}
{title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}

Lisa thanks I know that, my code is just an example, the point is that segments dont work! see I copy and simplify your code for you understand me:

{if segment_1 == "cars"}
HELLO MOON!
{/if} 
{if segment_2 == "category"}
HELLO SUN!
{/if}

on browser results:
mysite.com/cars result is: HELLO MOON!
mysite.com/cars/category/ result is: HELLO MOON! (bad! I Need here result HELLO SUN!)

thats the problem! segment_2 dont work! beacuse category is inside cars.

and all that simple example code is for try to make “sort entries by categories” a simple ee thing, I explain that in my 1st post, please help, thanks

What if you put just {segment_2} on the page? what does it echo?

ok I put the real web site for you see it because my examples dont work:

is you go to
http://www.mysite.com/tv show the entries good! but if you go to
http://www.mysite.com/tv/category/tv_entretenimiento/ dont sort anything!

in the code of /tv I have this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="tv" category_group="2" status="open" limit="18"}

/tv load the entries assigned to category_group=“2”
so when go to /category for make the sort work I need remove of the code category_group=“2”

I dont know other way for sort entries… if you have a blog and have entries how suppose to make the sort? if you want sections with different themes? in my case /tv and /peliculas I use category groups for sort?

you understand me now?

really thanks

Put {segment_2} in the template and view it - what gets rendered in its place?

Put {segment_2} in the template and view it - what gets rendered in its place?

I put {segment_2} and render is nothing,

I use this code:

{assign_variable:my_weblog="media"}
{assign_variable:my_template_group="tv"}

{embed="_inc/master_doctype"}

<body>
    

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" category_group="1" status="open" limit="18" disable="category_fields|member_data|trackbacks"}

{segment_2}

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

</html>

and dont render anything… why?

Bmovie,

Put {segment_2} outside your weblog:entries tag for the moment and see if that works for you

{segment_2} outside… same thing… white screen… (I dont know why Lisa want that, for test something?)

John you understand my problem?
