Hi,
I dont know if anyone can help with this.. it is really strange.
(and im certain it was working at one point.)

On all main site templates i have embedded another template

{embed="includes/ads"}

The code for the ‘ads’ template is:

{exp:channel:entries channel="ad3"}
<div id="ad3"><h3>{title}</h3><p><a href="http://" title="{title}">{ad3_byline}</a></div> <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}<br />
{exp:channel:entries channel="ad2"}<br />
<div id="ad2"></p><h3>{title}</h3><p><a href="http://" title="{title}">{ad2_byline}</a></div><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}<br />
{exp:channel:entries channel="ad1"}<br />
<div id="ad1"></p><h3>{title}</h3><p><a href="http://" title="{title}">{ad1_byline}</a></div> <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Now the strange thing is that this appears as it should on one page - the home page.
However on all (but one) other pages it does not appear at all!? On one page, only the 2nd channel (ad2) appears.

What could possibly be the problem?

Hi zeg,

If you add in the dynamic=“no” parameter to your Channel Entry Tags then this should get you what you need here.

Best wishes,

Thanks for your response.. unfortunately that did not fix it ??

HI zedg,

dynamic=“no” should work as Mark suggested (Thanks for the assist Mark). Did you add dynamic=“no” to all three of your exp:channel:entries tags? Could you also check that that there are entries in each of those three add channels?

One final thing to check, if you view the includes/ads template by itself, outside of your regular templates, what do you see?

Sean

Thanks for your help.
Yes i added dynamic to each:

{exp:channel:entries channel="ad3" dynamic=“no”}
<div id="ad3"><h3>{title}</h3><p><a href="http://" title="{title}">{ad3_byline}</a></div> <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}<br />
{exp:channel:entries channel="ad2" dynamic=“no”}<br />
<div id="ad2"></p><h3>{title}</h3><p><a href="http://" title="{title}">{ad2_byline}</a></div><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}<br />
{exp:channel:entries channel="ad1" dynamic=“no”}<br />
<div id="ad1"></p><h3>{title}</h3><p><a href="http://" title="{title}">{ad1_byline}</a></div> <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

If you view the template on its own the content appears as it should. You can see here:
mdsi.org.au/ignore_includes/ads

If you look at the home page here: mdsi.org.au/index
you can see the three small ‘ad’ boxes appear correctly.

Now if you go to this page mdsi.org.au/how-you-can-help/volunteers
you can see that only ad2 appears at the right side (very strange!).

And if you go to this page: mdsi.org.au/how-you-can-help/making-a-donation
(which usese the same template as above)
OR any other page on the site, none of the ads appear at the side.

(ps. if you look here mdsi.org.au/volunteers.shtml this is the non-ee page of the site showing how the ads should appear).

Is that code above directly copied from your template?

If so then you have curly quotes around the dynamic=“no” in each Channel Entry Tag. Try taking out the whole of that parameter and typing them in again by hand.

Might be that you copied the text from the page here on the forums and it went in funny.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

YES that worked!.. thankyou so much.
Such a small thing I didn’t even notice (especially after staring at the screen for so many hours).
Apologies for not noticing this myself.

N.

No problem at all.

Glad that helped.

Best wishes,

Mark
