Thread

ok, I’m dumbstuck today. I have a template that I’m using for my home page (main listing of entries) as well as my category listing page (lists all entries that belong to a given category):

{exp:weblog:category_heading weblog="{my_weblog}"}<h2>{if category_name}{category_name}{if:else}All Entries{/if}</h2>{/exp:weblog:category_heading}

so I’d like to add a header that either reads “All Entries” (if it’s the homepage) or “category name” (if it’s a category listing page).

while the category name header shows up perfectly on the category listing pages, on the homepage I get nothing?

can anybody tell me why?

thanks (and sorry in advance if this is silly. my brain is still on holiday).

ok, so it just occured to me that {exp:weblog:category_heading…} doesn’t get executed on the homepage (because there is no category_heading). so, for now, I’m just checking the URI to see if there is a segment_2 or something. or is there a better way to check if this is a category listing page?

thanks.

Hi, pirco.

Which version/build of EE? You can find that out in the bottom of each CP page.

Are you using Use Category URL Titles In Links?

Look into {if_category_request}.

Ingmar is mostly correct, it’s

category_request

EEDocs:// category_request

See the example in the docs.

Dang. Never give advice without consulting the docs 😊
