Hi

Just getting started with EE, so I apologize if I have misunderstood things.

I have a set of templates, all of which embed a template listing the 15 most recent posts in a certain weblog in the sidebar (my “news” weblog).

Now, I added another template, intended to show the “full_story” (a custom field) of this weblog, and link to this template (using {title_permalink="site/news_story"} ).

It works, insofar as the page showing the full news story. However, the embedded news-listing now only displays the current entry.

I understand that this is because the {exp:weblog:entries} tag automatically only shows the selected entry if one is put on the url.

Since this is not what I want, I wonder: is there some way to circumvent this filtering in the embedded template only, so I can have a page that simultaneously displays the full_story of the selected news-item, as well as a list of the 15 most recent news stories (with summaries).

I think you just need to add dynamic=“off” as a parameter to your ‘list’ weblog. That’ll stop it using the URL.

{exp:weblog:entries etc etc dynamic="off"}

Excellent, thanks!  Will try as soon as I get back.
