Each entry in my_weblog is assigned only to 1 category. Is it possible that the single entry urls have their assigned category in them.

http://www.example.com/index.php/template_group/template/category/category_url_title/single_entry_url ??

preferably:
http://www.example.com/index.php/template_group/category_url_title/template/single_entry_url ??

So I managed to achieve ‘something’.

This page shows multiple entries but filtered by category:

<a href="http://www.example.com/index.php/my_template_group/category/category_id/">http://www.example.com/index.php/my_template_group/category/category_id/</a>

Now I want to take that category to the next template so that I know if the user has filtered by category or not:

<a href="http://{path=my_template_group/template/{url_title}}/{segment_3}">Link Title</a>

Can now use segment_3 in the next template as it will be segment_4 in the templates URL and can use Prev and Next entry within a category or not:

{exp:weblog:entries}
{if segment_4 != ''}
     {exp:weblog:prev_entry category="{categories}{category_id}|{/categories}"}<a href="http://{path="><span>Prev Entry</span></a>{/exp:weblog:prev_entry}
     {exp:weblog:next_entry category="{categories}{category_id}|{/categories}"}<a href="http://{path="><span>Next Entry</span></a>{/exp:weblog:next_entry}
{if:else}
     {exp:weblog:prev_entry}<a href="http://{path="><span>Prev Entry</span></a>{/exp:weblog:prev_entry}
     {exp:weblog:next_entry}<a href="http://{path="><span>Next Entry</span></a>{/exp:weblog:next_entry}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

However the URL structure is not the nicest.

This work but the URL’s are not in the best order. Am I missing something with URL segments? Is there a better way to achieve what I am doing?

I am going to try and make it all work with URLs like this:
http://www.example.com/index.php/my_template_group/template/single_entry/#category as this is a little bit nicer

URL segments don’t like the hash at the moment, it doesn’t pick up {segment_4} is “#category” but I’m going to try to get it to work
