Thread

I’d like to combine two weblogs in my tag like:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="events|special_events"}... and have the resulting list output a list <li>{title}</li>

‘events’ and ‘special_events’ are separate weblogs, and each will have its own template for viewing the content. I’d like the list that is output to combine the results, but the url for the link will separate each out into its own template

I am using categories quite extensively so this could be used as a hook.

Any ideas?

You could use a conditional based on which weblog the entry is in:

{if weblog_short_name == "events"}<li><a href="http://{title_permalink={my_template_group}/foo}">{title}</a></li>{/if}
{if weblog_short_name == "special_events"}<li><a href="http://{title_permalink={my_template_group}/bar}">{title}</a></li>{/if}

Or you can make use of the {comment_url_title_auto_path} variables, which will pull from the path settings for each weblog.

<li><a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{title}</a></li>

Either choice is perfectly fine, it just depends on whether you need/want to control this in the template, or from the weblog preference settings.

Merry Christmas!

You can certainly do this. Here’s one method:

Set the Comment URL Title Auto Path

for each weblog.

NOTE: I don’t use comments on the sites I create, but I can use that setting to point to a single entry url.

Make sense?

That’s exactly what I ended up doing. I couldn’t figure out another solution, and I came across your solution in the forums…

Thanks!

Hmmm… in my case the code below doesn’t work.

You could use a conditional based on which weblog the entry is in:

{if weblog_short_name="events"}<li><a href="http://{title_permalink={my_template_group}/foo}">{title}</a></li>{/if}
{if weblog_short_name ="special_events"}<li><a href="http://{title_permalink={my_template_group}/bar}">{title}</a></li>{/if}

[...]

Maybe typo with “=”?

{if weblog_short_name="events"}

I guess it should be “==”? 😜

Yes, thanks alex7, edited.
