Hi Bmovie, try just the segment variable by itself in in the index template, to be sure we’re on the same page. So in your site’s index template:

Segment 2 is {segment_2}

Then visit the site at: domain.com/index.php/cars (should say segment 2 is blank)
And visit it at: domain.com/index.php/cars/category (should say segment 2 is category)

That works properly, yes?

thanks, I do the test, and yes works like you say, see it:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php/videos
http://www.mysite.com/index.php/videos/category

I think that test is for check if the segments are ok or? now whats the next step?

OK, then try this code in that test template with the same two URLs:

{if segment_2 == "category"}
   The entire weblog tag WITHOUT category_group
{if:elseif segment_1 == "cars"} 
   The entire weblog tag with category_group
{/if}

OK, then try this code in that test template with the same two URLs:

{if segment_2 == "category"}
   The entire weblog tag WITHOUT category_group
{if:elseif segment_1 == "cars"} 
   The entire weblog tag with category_group
{/if}

That is! Brandon!

I try in the past with if:elseif but now with your code example make the difference, I think in the past I don’t use entire weblog tag, now segments works! and sort entries by categories well

Thanks a lot!!! I appreciate it!

just curious why is not possible of this way:

{if segment_2 == "category"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" status="open" limit="18" disable="category_fields|member_data|trackbacks"}
{if:elseif segment_1 == "cars"} 
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" category_group="2" status="open" limit="18" disable="category_fields|member_data|trackbacks"}
{/if}

{switch="<ul class='item'>|<ul class='item'>|<ul class='item'>|<ul class='item'>|<ul class='item'>|<ul class='item-last'>"}
    <li><a href="http://{url_title_path=%22class=%22item-hover" title="{title}" class="item-hover"></a>{media_img}</li>
    <li class="h2"><a href="http://{url_title_path=">{exp:char_limit total="20"}{title}{/exp:char_limit}</a></li>
    <li class="h3">{categories}<a href="http://{path=">{category_name}</a>{/categories}</li>
</ul>

{paginate}
<div id="page">
{if previous_page}
    <a href="http://{auto_path}">« Anterior</a>
{/if}                
{pagination_links}
{if next_page}
    <a href="http://{auto_path}">Siguiente »</a>
{/if}
</div>                
{/paginate}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

-sorry… remove this please-

You can’t separate opening entries tag as in your example:

{if segment_2 == "category"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" status="open" limit="18" disable="category_fields|member_data|trackbacks"}
{if:elseif segment_1 == "cars"} 
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" category_group="2" status="open" limit="18" disable="category_fields|member_data|trackbacks"}
{/if}

The entries tag must stay together in its entirety, as I mentioned in post #7.

You’re up and running now?
