I was wondering if there is a way in a template to check to see if the current weblog is in a specific category group (not category, category group)?  I have look around but not found anything on this which makes me wonder if this is impossible??

Thanks!

Hi DWhiting,

Interesting question!

Since categories can be shared among weblogs, and are technically assigned to entries, I don’t think there is a way to get that information on the weblog level.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,

Thanks for your replay.  I sorta figured that is wasn’t going to be simple 😖

I did some playing around and came up with a way to accomplish what I was looking for.  I will post it below for others who want to do the same thing.

It really is not a conditional as much as it will only display the code if the post is in a specific category group.

Commets and suggestions are welcome 😊

<!--Use below code to determin if post is part of a specfic category group-->
{exp:weblog:categories weblog="weblog_name" category_group="category_group_id"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="weblog_name"  category="{category_id}"}
      <!--Code to run if post is in Category Group above-->
      <!--If the post is not in the Category Group then nothing will be displayed-->
{/exp:weblog:entries} 
{/exp:weblog:categories}

Hey DWhiting,

That’s awesome. Nice work here!

I will move this over to the Community Help Forum so more community members can benefit.
