Hi,

I am returing a single weblog entry via {exp:weblog:entries}. All works well.

Now, inside the entries tag, I want to search another weblog for items in the same category as the displayed entry.

So, say the current category is “stars”, I need to search a different, unrelated weblog for items in that category. There is no relation between these weblogs on the EE level of things.

Inside the {exp:weblog:entries} {/exp:weblog:entries} tags, I would need to implement another pair of those tags, dynamically grabbing the current category_id and handing it over. At least, it seems to me to work like that.

Can this be done with EE template tags or should I start writing a plugin?

Thanks!... Nico

If it’s a single entry page- with the url title or entry id in the url- then you can just use another weblog tag- outside the main one- and the related_categories_mode parameter.  Will that work in this situation?  If not- I’d embed the second tag- and pass the categories as an embed variable.

Hey Robin,

I was able to move it outside the existing {exp:weblog:entries} tag. 😊

Thanks for helping out… Nico

W00t!  Glad that did the trick- closing this one out.
