    I am using an additional weblog code to pull in sponsors on the left for different pages of our site’s content. The code I am using is below, and works on most pages of the site, accept one. All of the pages that it works on are viewing a category of weblog entries and the additional weblog calls category 412 from category group 1. For the page that it is not working on, this is a template which calls just one specific entry of our system, and ironically is not from the category 412, which my sponsors are coming from. In addition to my code below, I have also pasted a couple example showing what I am talking about. I could use some help on this ASAP. Thanks,

    Example of where it is working—remember on the lefthand column, the sponsor logos: http://www.thunderheadalliance.org/site/index.php/site/memberservices/C415

    Example of where it isn’t working: http://www.thunderheadalliance.org/site/index.php/site/EventRegistration-Overview/1237/

    I think the problem is that I am pulling a single entry with the one that isn’t working; is there a way to force that weblog entry to pull from the category, even though there is another single entry page?

    The code I am using, exactly the same on both pages:

    
    
    

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    When EE finds a url title in the url, it assumes that all weblog tags are related to that entry.

    In order to avoid that behavior you need to use dynamic=“off” in that tag (do not copy paste from the forums, they convert quotes).

    Does that help?
