I’m trying to display a single article underneath a category. If I try to do this then I see all the articles which are mapped to the category.

URI is as follow: portfolio/<category>/<article>

for example: portfolio/websites/klant_website

I have created a “template group” named “portfolio” which includes a single index template. (which can be viewed on http://drp.ly/1JwIfh)

Is this possible with ExpressionEngine? Or do I need to create a separate template for single article view. (e.g. detail)

You have the right idea. This is the gist of what we usually do. An entire site based on category structure, where the last uri segment can be a url_title of an article. This works really well for large sites, where a client may need to publish a piece of content to various sections of the site simultaneously. Most of the site would be handled by one template (and sub-templates embedded in it based on conditionals).

I’ve written an add-on that handles all this automatically (category/entry finding based on URI, titles, breadcrumbs, navigation, nested entry lists, etc), but it still needs a bit of polish before it is release-worthy. In the meantime, there are other add-ons right now that make this task possible, like Low Seg2cat.

I can’t see why “Low Seg2Cat” is going to help me.

The current problem I have is when the single article is viewed, portfolio/category/websites/klant_website, where “klant_website” is the article (url_title) it shows all the articles which are currently listed under the “website” category.

Ah, I was mentioning that so that you could get the current category id from a URI segment (for listing multiple entries). If you just want to get a single entry from a specific URI segment, you can do something like:

{exp:channel:entries dynamic="no" channel="your_channel" url_title="{segment_3}"}
    {title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Or, even better you can use this plugin: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/bjorn-last-segment/
to dynamically use the last segment found.

To clarify; I wasn’t talking about using the built-in /category/ trigger method, I thought you were trying to avoid using a trigger, which is why I suggested Low Seg2Cat, etc.

thanks! It’s working!

Working here as well.
