Hi,

I have two categories - website-design and graphic-design - within one category group - work - and I am trying to link to a different view page depending on what category that entry is assigned to, so if I had 1 entry that was assigned to the category website-design I would like that entry to link to the view template for my website design work, the same if it were assigned to grpahic-design for it to link to my view template for graphic design, but I can’t seem to get it work, all the entries link to the same view template.

Here’s what I have at the moment:

{exp:channel:entries channel="work" limit="3" disable="category_fields|member_data|pagination" status="homepage-featured"}
     <div class="feature">
          <ul class="img_list">
                <li class="image_one">{if category_id == "1"}<a href="http://{title_permalink=work/website-design/}">{if:else}<a href="{title_permalink='work/graphic-design/'}">{/if}<span class="rollover"></span>{project_image_small}</a></li>
          </ul>                    
          <h5>{company}</h5>
<p>          {what_i_did}<br />
     </div><!-- END FEATURE --> <br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Any help would be appreciated and stop me from pulling my hair out!

I think you need to wrap your IF in {categories} tags:

{categories}
 {if category_id == "1"}
  <a href="{title_permalink='work/website-design/'}">
 {if:else}
  <a href="{title_permalink='work/graphic-design/'}">
 {/if}
{/categories}

Pretty sure you can’t just use category_id on it’s own like that…

Wonderful!! 😊

That worked, thanx.
