EE version 2.2.2

Here is the overview, I have 5 category groups and and each group has subcategories from 5 to 50. Each entry assigned to multiple subcategories. Using GWcode Categories to list categories and subcategories.

I am trying to do is on click subcategory it should display list of entries assigned under that subcategory. In a code rather passing category id I want category={segment_3} (which is sub category name) and list all entries assigned to that sub category.

Please guide me to do it in a right way.

{exp:channel:entries  channel="test" category="{segment_3}" }
  <a href="http://{title_permalink=test/index}">{title}</a>

{/exp:channel:entries }

Thanks

Hi, fatrabbit.

What does your url look like when you get to the page you want to get the info from?

URL looks like - http://www.example.com/test/Topics/aaup
‘Topics’ is one of the Category group name.
‘aaup’ is one of the subcategory name.
so on this page I wan to list all the entries title under subcategory ‘aaup’

fatrabbit,

You will need to look at a third party add-on to do what you are trying to achieve. The add-on Cat2 looks like it will do what you want with the following code

{exp:cat2:id category_url_title="my_category" category_group="5"}

which if placed in the code you shared above would look like this:

{exp:channel:entries  channel="test" category="{exp:cat2:id category_url_title='segment_3' category_group='5'}" }
  <a href="http://{title_permalink=test/index}">{title}</a>

{/exp:channel:entries }

be sure to change the category_group=“5” to the category_group id of the category group for that channel. You can find that in admin > channel administration > categories

Thanks. I even found this plugin which gives categories information in the URI, category id or name in segment. low-seg2cat

Awesome, have you resolved your issue then?

Yes. Thanks again.

Fantastic. I’m going to close this thread now. Feel free to post again as needed.
