I’m sure I’ve missed something simple, but I’ve just upgraded EE so I could use the related categories tag. I have the weblog set up so that the content of the “summary” field displays a thumbnail. Unfortunately, when displaying that field using the related categories tag displays {summary} rather than the content. You can see it here.

It does work elsewhere.

And here’s my code.

<table border="0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0">

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" related_categories_mode="on" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="10" paginate="bottom"}
<?php
if ($i % 5 == 0) {
echo "<tr valign=top>";
}
?>

<td align="center" valign="top">
<a href="http://{title_permalink=gallery/image_full}">{summary}</a>
</td>

<?php
if ($i % 5 == 4) {
echo "</tr>";
}
$i++;
?>

{/exp:weblog:entries}

</table>

What have I missed?

And in a related query, what are the chances of being able to paginate those related entries? Or do I need to think of some other method?

Ah- yep, that one is easy to miss.  Double check the docs- with the related cats parameter on?  You have two more parameters to play with- one of which is custom_fields=“on” - which you need to use if you want custom fields parsed.  See if that does the trick.

Fabulous. That did the trick!

I did this template so long ago, I didn’t even remember it was a custom field!

Thanks!

Hee- yep, even though summary there by default, it’s still a custom field.  And know what you mean about forgetting things on old sites!  Glad you’re squared.
