Hi,

below is my code, but it is wrong. can anyone give me the correct one?

<li><a href="/{path}={channel_short_name}/{url_title}">{title}</a></li>

Thanks

You need to restate the question. I have no idea what you’re trying to do with that code, it doesn’t match the question at all.

It looks like they forgot to use code tags, I’ve updated the post so that it’s readable.

Somvannda, try updating your link to read like this:

<a href="{path='{channel_short_name}/{url_title}'}">

I don’t believe you can do that. The path function requires a template_group and template, you’re using variables.

You can use variables, in fact, it’s how I frequently build links, but don’t use path. You’d want to build the url like…

<li><a href="/{channel_short_name}/{url_title}">{title}</a></li>

using relative path, or using explicit path like

<li><a href="http://{site_url}/{channel_short_name}/{url_title}">{title}</a></li>

I’m going to assume your channel short_names match a template group name. If not that’s a different ballgame. But if they do, then you are basically shooting for a single link code that can work pulling multiple templates, like if your home page pulled from three or four sections, say: books, research, events, news. Then you’d do a single channel:entries pull referencing channels=“books|research|news|events” and return results that look like below…

<li><a href="http://mydomain.org/news/the-world-surprisingly-didnt-end">The World Didn't End</a></li>
<li><a href="http://mydomain.org/books/classic-shell-scripting">Classic Shell Scripting</a></li> 
<li><a href="http://mydomain.org/research/github-works">Github Works</a></li> 
<li><a href="http://mydomain.org/event/smacss-the-css">SMACSS the CSS: For Newbies</a></li>

if all that’s true, then you can use

<li><a href="http://{site_url}/{channel_short_name}/{url_title}">{title}</a></li>
