Hi all-

I’m running in to an issue that I’m hoping someone can help me out with.

I have an embedded template called from a template group index which uses an {exp:channel:entries channel="People"} to return a list.  Works great.  That index template is a single line:

{embed="/people/.directorywidget" letter="a"}

The embedded widget looks like this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="people"}
{if no_results}
i am empty
{/if}
    <div class="person">
        <h4>{title}</h4>
<p>    </div><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Within another channel that is not referenced from this template, I have an entry with a url_title of “directory”.

If I visit http://localhost/people it works great.

If I visit http://localhost/people/somrandomthing it works great.

If I visit http://localhost/people/directory, the channel:entries list is empty.

If I rename the entry to have a different url_title, http://localhost/people/directory works fine.

My knowledge of the entry url_title vs. template url handling is obviously lacking, but the url user guide entry and additional searches aren’t leading me to any answers.  I don’t understand why it would load the page, but cause a channel:entries call to return no results.

Any advice or links to documentation would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Found a page out on the interwebs that led me to resolve this by adding the dynamic=“off” attribute.

Glad you got it, Brian.

In EE 2 though, you want it to be:

dynamic="no"

You can read more about this mechanic in The Importance of Semantics

But for now, you’re all set?
