404 triggering for entries from certain weblogs

Hey,
Got my previous question about 404’s resolved here. But as I solved that one another weird one emerged.

I have one template for viewing entries from two different weblogs, ‘General pages’ weblog is working fine(structure is used on this one, maybe that’s why?). But ‘Footer navigation’ is always generating 404’s if I have a 404 set in template preferences. But it works fine if I don’t set a 404 page, but then of course I rarely(if ever) get any 404’s.

“Enable Strict URLs” can be set to no or yes but it does not affect it at all. http://www.domain.com/page/ doesn’t show, but http://www.domain.com/template_group/page/ shows up fine which boggles me since it should be fairly similar?

Anyone got a clue what I could be doing wrong here?

What version and build of EE are you on? Do you’ve got a link? Or some code, perhaps?

I’m on ExpressionEngine 1.6.8 - Build: 20091002

Can’t post the url but I’ll PM it to you, the main menu works fine, but the footer navigation doesn’t work.

My index template:

{embed="site/html_head"}
{embed="site/header"}
{embed="site/content"}
{embed="site/footer"}

My content template:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="general-page|footer-navigation" limit="1" require_entry="yes"}
                <div id="body-content" {if body-left != "" AND body-right != ""}class="three-column"{if:elseif body-left != ""}class="two-column-small-left"{if:else}class="two-column-small-right"{/if}>
                    {if body-left != ""}
                    <div class="left-content">
                        {body-left}
                    </div>
                    {/if}
                    <div class="main">
                        <div class="title-content"><h2>{title-main}</h2>
<p>                            {if title-secondary != ""}</p><h2>{title-secondary}</h2><p>{/if}<br />
                        </div><br />
                        <div class="middle-content"><br />
                            {body-main}<br />
                        </div><br />
                        {if body-right != ""}<br />
                        <div class="right-content"><br />
                            {body-right}<br />
                        </div><br />
                        {/if}<br />
                        {if body-bottom != ""}<br />
                        <div class="bottom-content"><br />
                            {body-bottom}<br />
                        </div><br />
                        {/if}<br />
                </div><br />
                {/exp:weblog:entries}

Could it be a simple as needing dynamic=“off” for your exp:weblog:entries tag in the footer?

Hey Sue, the footer displays fine, it’s just that the weblog posts didn’t display but general pages did. I solved it by creating a template group called footer which solved my problems, even though I think it would look better without the /footer/ in the url, but at least it’s working correctly!

Glad you were able to figure out what the problem was. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
