hey all -

I have a template that draws from three different weblogs, searching for the three most recent postings in a certain category.  Here’s the url setup:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php/profile/category/cat_name/

and the code in the template:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="photos|audio|videos" dynamic="on" disable="trackbacks|pagination|member_data" limit="5"}
<div id=“profile”>
{if weblog=="Photos"}
{title}
{if:elseif weblog=="Videos"}
{title}
{if:elseif weblog=="Audio"}
{title}
{/if}
</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

basically, what is being posted is a bunch of images right now, and 5 images show up, but they are not images that are in the correct category.  Doesn’t the category get read automagically from the url?

Thanks!

You’ll need the relaxed_categories parameter.

While you’re looking that, you might look up the {comment_url_title_auto_path} variable; you can cut out all of your conditionals by using that variable.  If you decide not to go that route, you’d be much better off comparing weblog_short_name to the weblog’s short name, than going off the weblog name.

Oh, and dynamic defaults to on, you don’t need to specify it unless you want to turn it off. =)

Oh, lastly: profile is the template group, and category is the template name, yes? You need to include the category trigger word as well.  See this article.

Thanks so much for the quick reply.  I’ll look into these solutions.

I edited my post a few times, so make sure to re-read it. =)

thanks very much - I think we’re in business now!
