I am using the following code to show the most viewed entries in a number of weblogs:

<ul>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="hoodies|mugs|tshirts|cards" limit="8" dynamic="off" rdf="off" sort="desc" orderby="view_count_one"}
 <li> <span class="top_picks_title"><a href="http://{title_permalink=/{weblog_short_name}/item}">{title} -</a></span>
{package_type}
</li>
 {/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>

The links, however are not working they are displaying as:

<a href="https://domainname.co.uk/{title_permalink=/template/item}">https://domainname.co.uk/{title_permalink='/template/item'}</a>

Any suggestion as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Alli,

What version and build of EE are you using?

is your global variable {weblog_short_name} defined as “template”?
Does it match a template group name?
If you hardcode the template group name in there does it work?

<a href="http://{title_permalink=template/item}">{title} -</a>

Hi John

I am using EE 1.7.0 build: 20101018
The weblog_short_name is the same as the template name
Yes, when I hard code the template name the link works okay.

Does something like that work, too?

{assign_variable:foo="template"}

...

<a href="http://{title_permalink={foo}/item}">{title} -</a>

Hi Ingmar

It’s okay, I have decided to just set each weblog separately and list the top two items in each one. So I can set the title_permalink without using the {weblog_short_name}

Thanks for your help.

Glad Ingmar was able to help. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
