    Hello,

    I’m not new to EE, but have run into a perplexing issue.  I have a site with several Weblogs setup to deliver content for a radio station website.  I need to have two or more of the weblogs deliver content to any one given page, some is content from the current blog, other is content from Weblogs from unrelated templates that get delivered to a block, like most recent entries or something.


    If I am on /station, I can deliver other Weblog content no problem

    If I am on /station/events, I can deliver other Weblog content no problem

    If I am on /station/events_entry/fake_events_entry_1, I can only deliver content from the events blog.  All other Weblogs deliver no content.

    It seems like I have a scope issue of some sort.  Can someone help me out with this issue please?

    Thanks

    Sync21,

    From your description it looks like you are using multiple weblog:entries tags int eh same template, correct?

    If so you may need to add the dynamic=“off” parameter to these so their content is not affected by the URL you are on.

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

    If this is not the fix for you can you provided some more detail about what is in your template please? Also what version and build of EE you are using.

    John,

    Thank you so much for helping me with this issue, it’s been plaguing me for quite some time.  I knew it was reacting to the URL, but just couldn’t figure out how to make some of the weblogs stop.  You are a life saver!!!

    Thanks,
