Hi there,

I currently have a Structure that looks like the following:

Artists
  Band Name
      -Overview
      -About
      -Tour
      -Music

On the “Artists” index page, it’s pulling the artists header image and band name. Click on either one of those sends you to the Band>Overview page.

What my current problem is now, is that on the Artists page, it’s trying to pull an image and band name from every single page (ex. Overview, About, Tour)

How do I limit it to just pull from the “Band Name” page?

Currently, my template looks like this:

<div class="current-bands">
        <h1 class="current">Our Current Artists</h1>
 {exp:channel:entries channel="artists" dynamic="no"}
 <ul class="bands">
   <li>
  {exp:channel_images:images entry_id="{entry_id}"}
         <a href="http://{page_url}/overview">{image:url:medium}</a>
           {/exp:channel_images:images}
  
     {artist_info}
            
  <h1 class="band-name"><a href="http://{page_url}/overview">{artist_name}</a></h1>
    
     <h2 class="place">{artist_city}</h2>
     {/artist_info}
          </li>
 
 </ul>
        {/exp:channel:entries}
      </div>

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Cowdrey,

Artists => Channel
  Band Name => Category
    -Overview => Sub Category
    -About => Sub Category
    -Tour => Sub Category
    -Music => Sub Category

If that’s how you are separating out the pages, then one possibility is that you’ll want to change this setting:

Admin > Channel Admin > Global Channel Preferences > Auto-Assign Category Parents (yes)

By default EE has that set to (yes) and you may need to set it to (no) and then remove the parent category from each of your entries category-tab settings.

This is one of those settings that works well in a blog, but not so much in a CMS set up of an EE channel.

Hi Cowdrey,

Sounds to me like the problem likely stems from your usage of this parameter:

dynamic="no"

Do the URLs for each band contain the entry’s URL title? If so, you’ll want to remove that parameter since it tells EE to ignore any information it might receive from the URI string. Does that help?
