Thread

I have seen other posts on this, but wanted to offer my problem to see if it is a bug or I have something set wrong.

I’m running version 1.6.1 and want to use display_by=“day” and only 1 entry is being returned when I use the limit=“1” parameter.

I created a clean template page with the code section i’m fighting. It seems that at one point it worked fine and now it doesn’t. Maybe it was my imagination.

I am running some extensions: edit alert, category checkboxes, LG add sitename, File by Mark Huot, edit tab ajax, empty options. I have tried disabling them and have had no luck. The are all currently disabled

I have tried to remove sort and author_id parameters as well.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" sort="desc" author_id="2|3" display_by="day" limit="1"}
<div class="date_header">{date_heading}{entry_date format="%l %F %d, %Y"}{/date_heading}</div>


<div class="time_stamp">{url_or_email_as_author} at {entry_date format="%g:%i %A %T"}</div>
<span class="blog_title"><a href="http://{url_title_path=site/blog}">{title}</a></span>

{body}

{if allow_comments}({comment_total}) Comments | 
{/if}<a href="http://{url_title_path=site/comments}"> View or leave a Comment</a>
{date_footer display="daily"}

This day's Categories: {categories backspace="1"}<a href="http://{path=site/blog}">{category_name}</a>, {/categories}
{/date_footer}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Here is a link to My Test Template

Mod Edit: Moved to the Technical Support forum.

Since it’s a Core question, it really should go in the ‘Core’ forum.  But no reason I can see that it wouldn’t work w/core.  Can you replicate on your full install?  And you definitely have other entries for today by those authors?  I’d probably test with the author_id bit removed- and I’d put up a comparison tag with no display_by and say a limit of 10- make sure there are extra entries for ‘today’ that aren’t showing hen you include it.

This site will eventually get a full install, but for the moment it’s core. I can try to replicate it in a full install, but it shouldn’t matter. (((update! now running version 1.6.1. - not core!!!!)))

I have removed the author_id parameter as I said in my original post. I have 3 entries from the last day an entry was made.(Jan. 2nd) Two from one author and a third from another.

Only one entry shows up unless I change the limit=“1” to another number…then that many entries show up. I’ll relink to my test page with the limit variable at 1 and then 7. (there are only 8 days worth of entries)

Test Page

You can see that the display_by parameter is just being ignored.

Even if I directly call a day:
http://andyandroxanne.net/index.php/site/blog/2007/12/18
I still only get 1 post.

Just as a note, I have gone ahead and moved this to the Core Technical Support forum since this is about an EECore installation.

I have updated the site to the full version of 1.6.1 and the problem still exists. I have pulled down the site this was replacing in order to not violate the one license per site limitation.

I would really like some support on this. This is my 4th or 5th ExpressionEngine site and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it won’t display more than one entry. I’ve provide every piece of information I can. I’m so close to having this site done and this is my one hold up.

Will someone please move my post back to the Technical Support Forum?

I’ve moved it back. =)  Ok, what we need to do is get some raw data, see what EE is seeing. So, can you create a blank template and put *only* this code in it:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" sort="desc" author_id="2|3"  limit="20"}
{title}: {entry_date format="%l %F %d, %Y"}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

and give us a link to the template?  Also, are you running any extensions?

http://andyandroxanne.net/index.php/site/lisa_test/

all my extensions are disabled. The following are installed but disabled:
edit alert, category checkboxes, LG add sitename, File by Mark Huot, edit tab ajax, empty options

thanks lisa.

I edited my code, can you re-paste it? I made the error missing the slash in {/exp:weblog:entries} *blushes*

i was a little suprised by the result and then i noticed the error. It’s ok. I make mistakes typing all day as well.

updated.

Ok, now, under that code, can you add your code?  So the end template wil be as below; just going to add some headings to keep things clear:

<h1>no display_by parameter</h1>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" sort="desc" author_id="2|3"  limit="20"}
{title}: {entry_date format="%l %F %d, %Y"}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

<h1>display_by day</h1>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" sort="desc" author_id="2|3" display_by="day" limit="1"}
<div class="date_header">{date_heading display="daily"}{entry_date format="%l %F %d, %Y"}{/date_heading}</div>

{title}: {entry_date format="%l %F %d, %Y"}

<hr >
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Hopefully no typos this time, I definitely see slashes. =) thank you!

O.K. I have done that.

Ok, can you do another favor for me?  Delete all the code in the template and put this instead:

<h1>no display_by parameter</h1>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" sort="desc" author_id="2|3"  limit="20"}
{title}: {entry_date format="%D, %F %d, %Y - %g:%i:%s""}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

<h1>display_by day</h1>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" sort="desc" author_id="2|3" display_by="day" limit="10"}
<div class="date_header">{date_heading display="daily"}{entry_date format="%D, %F %d, %Y - %g:%i:%s"}{/date_heading}</div>

{title}: {entry_date format="%D, %F %d, %Y - %g:%i:%s"}

<hr >
{/exp:weblog:entries}

and let me know when that’s done? thank you =)

Done. There are only 14 total entries in this weblog spanning 8 days.

Can you do one more thing for me? Change all of the %g to %G ? Just need to see it all in 24 hour time format. =)  Thanks for working through this with me!

oh, no problem.  I’m on the clock. Thursdays are slow at the office. Just like every other day.

I have made that change.
