Hello,

My name is Chris Wareham and I am trying to display a list of titles from a particular channel that are attributed to certain categories.

IE channel of teachers with a category id of 2 AND 7 (ie both 2 and 7)... i tried the following but it did not work correctly.

{exp:channel:entries channel="teachers" status="Homepage Featured|Homepage Secondary|open" limit="4"}
                {categories show="2|7"}
                <li><a href="http://{title_permalink=teachers/products}">{title}</a></li>
                {/categories}
            {/exp:channel:entries}

You can view the work-in-progress at:

(scroll down to Edexcel Business Studies Products for Teachers)

It is not currently working properly, is allowing duplicate entries and is ignoring the limit=“4”.

I am sure there is a much easier way of doing this than my code? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Chris,

Try this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="teachers" status="Homepage Featured|Homepage Secondary|open" category="2|7" limit="4"}

Captaink - thank you so much for your quick reply. That’s amazing.

I have made the changes - the only hurdle left is that it seems to be pulling in titles of either 2 OR 7 rather than titles of both 2 AND 7.

Use 2&7 rather than 2|7.

Hello,

Thanks again - that was just what I needed!!! Tried to solve it myself for a good few hours - always better to ask for help! Much appreciated!
