I have a main menu link from my home page that links to the most recent book review.
The link is isolated it does not sit within any ee brackets. It works fine and leads to http://www.mywebsite/main/books/ as expected and displays the latest article . Ideally I would like the link from the home page to include the article title(for seo purposes).  So that the link would need to be dynamic and look like http://www.mywebsite/main/books/latestarticletitle.
Can this be done?

<li><a href="http://{path=main/books}">Books</a></li>

{exp:channel:entries channel="books" limit="1" }
 //book fields 
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hi jackiewales,

Try this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="books" limit="1" }
<li><a href="http://{path=main/books/{title}}">Books</a></li>
{/exp:channel:entries}
...

I hope that helps.

Hi Mike thank you most helpful.  The only problem would be that this link is part of a menu that points to different channels, it would mean that I would have to wrap each item in its own channel tags.

You would have to wrap at least this item in its own Channel Entries tags, but that’s the way to accomplish this. May I ask where you’re running into a problem here?

Hi Kevin,
I’m using seo lite and am looking to attach meta data to the article but its id needs to be included

Hello jackiewales,

The only way to get the id is to include the channel entries loop.

You can use the channel parameter to include multiple channels.

Does this help?

Thank you,

Hi Shane,
Yes that’s fine, thanks to all.

Hey jackiewales,

Awesome! Glad that you are on your way!
