Info:  I have setup a page “main_site/register” to which users are redirected if they are denied access to any page on the site.  The page uses conditionals Ex:

{if group_id == "5"}

to determine the message that should be displayed to the user.

I have placed the messages in a “blog” where I keep all static content (name: static_content).

I am attempting to pull the messages with the following code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="static_content" limit="1" url_title="registered_guest"}

<h2 class="title"><a href="http://{title_permalink}">{title}</a></h2>
<div class="entry">
{page_body}
</div>

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Problem: When an unregistered user is redirected, the page comes up with some test info (I have it displaying the group_id), but a message (weblog entry) does not appear. 

Questions:
1.  Isn’t it possible to specify a url_title when someone is being sent to the page via a redirect?

2.  Do I just have something coded wrong that is preventing this from working properly?

Thank you for any assistance.

PS.  It works fine if I go directly to the page Ex: “{site_url}main_site/register”

If I’m not mistaken, the URL title limits what’s queried by the URL passed to it.  Which means only the data associated with the url “http://something.com/something/registered_guest” will get displayed.

That’s probably why its not displaying because the redirect isn’t moving the correct URL data for your weblog entry to work.

It sounds like you just want to display a particular entry within your static_content weblog, correct?  Then all you need to do is remove url_title and add entry_id=“5” to your entries tag.  “5” is just an arbitrary number.  You also, might want to add: dynamic=“off”  to clear out anything passed to it.

Hopefully that will fix it.

Works Perfect!  Thank you for your help!!  I’m still a bit green with EE.  I really appreciate the assistance.

Best regards,
