Is this type of expression possible?

exp:weblog:entries weblog=“segment_2”

or is there another way that I can automatically select a weblog by url

eg if url = mydomain.com/tennis then weblog = tennis

Thanks Steve

Hi, stevealfa.

Sure. You’d need to have your weblog named the same thing as your segment name.

So you’d do something like this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{segment_2}"}
...
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Does that help?

Hi Sue,

That’s great - works exactly how I want.

Also I found one of your other posts about embedded variables which will help me when the weblog does not match the url eg

{embed="globals/_master" section_weblog="football"}

and then in the _master template

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:section_weblog}"}
...
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Thanks

PS Thanks Greg for the reminder to use curly brackets - I have corrected the code above just in case someone tries to use it 😊

Hi Steve,

Glad that Sue was able to help you with this. For your _master template example don’t forget that the embed variable has be to surrounded by curly braces. Please post back if required.

Cheers

Greg
