I’m trying to figure out how to use more than 3 url segments. For example, I want to pull an article, while passing additional details about the article via the url.  The current set-up is

<a href="http://www.sitename.org/{template_group}/{template}/{url_title}/">http://www.sitename.org/{template_group}/{template}/{url_title}/</a>

So {segment_1}, and {segment_2} belong to the template group and template respectively.

But I also want to pass on, which category the user clicked on to get to the article, and possibly other details. My first thought was to just use the url_title option in the weblog:entries. If I tell the page that the url_title is at segment_3, or segment_5, it should display the article. So I was hoping one of these url formats would work

Option 1

<a href="http://www.sitename.org/{template_group}/{template}/C{category_id}/{url_title}/">http://www.sitename.org/{template_group}/{template}/C{category_id}/{url_title}/</a>  with 

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="digital" limit="1" url_title="{segment_4}"}

or

Option 2

<a href="http://www.sitename.org/{template_group}/{template}/{url_title}/C{category_id}/">http://www.sitename.org/{template_group}/{template}/{url_title}/C{category_id}/</a> with 

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="digital" limit="1" url_title="{segment_3}"}

Would work, but nothing. Literally nothing. The page returns absolutely nothing. But based on my understanding of the User Guide, you can use up to 9 segments, and if you use the url_title parameter, you can just state which segment contains the url.

Is it possible for the url_title to be a segment other than {segment_3}?  And if the url_title HAS TO BE {segment_3} is it possible to have other segments after it? Because, if so, I can’t seem to get either situation working in EE 1.6.0 Build:  20070621

Nevermind, figured out that you have to specify dynamic=“off” otherwise EE is looking at specific segments.
