Hi Hopefully someone can give me some advice.

I have MSM.  And 2 sites setup identically. 

so they have the same weblogs, same category’s on both sites.

The have different data in the weblogs on each site.

on one of the sites I want to use the weblog entries loop to display a list of articles from one category across both sites.

If I use the cat id (C124) instead of cat name it obviously wont work because they are unique ids per site.  But there doesnt seem to be a way to use cat name as a param or dynamically from the url.  or am i missing something?

You could try http://loweblog.com/software/low-seg2cat/ to see if that provides what you need to do.

im not sure how that even relates to what i explained above.  Unless of course I have explained badly.

I want to show a list of blog entries from both sites - where those entries are in the categorys of the same name.

I was thinking it could work if your url is say: http://example.com/template/C124/

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="channel" site="siteA|siteB"}
{if "{segment_2_category_name}" == "{categories}{category_name}{/categories}"}
{title}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

oic. problem is the internal count will no longer work and its not sortable

Tony,

Ok I think I get you. You have 2 categories named the same on the 2 different sites?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="channel" site="siteA|siteB" category="12|13"}
{title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

So you need the name in the URL to generate 2 unique ids from both sites?

I don’t think this is going to be possible out of the box but please just clarify my understanding first.

Correct

Unfortunately this is not currently an option. You could either use two entries tags, or some PHP, of course. Consider making an FR, too.

Fr?
