I have a site-wide footer that needs to include a list of sponsors of our non-profit website.  I created the sponsors channel and templates and edited the footer so that the sponsors’ name and href are pulled dynamically as so:

<h4>Champions</h4>
<p><ul><br />
    {exp:channel:entries channel="sponsors" category="18" orderby="title" sort="asc"}<br />
    <li><a href="http://{title_permalink=sponsors/show}">{title}</a></li><br />
    {/exp:channel:entries}<br />
</ul>

However, when I go to a sponsor’s page at {site_url}/sponsors/show/sponsorname, the unordered lists will go blank and only show the
sponsor whose page I’m currently on.

You can see the index page at this site where the footer behaves correctly; however, if you click on any of the sponsors (bottom, green div), you’ll see that the only sponsor that remains in the footer is the one you just clicked.

How can I re-code my footer so that it *always* displays the full list of sponsors?

Hi Brian,

Think you’ll need to put dynamic=“no” (or dynamic=“off” if you’re using EE 1.x) in the tag:

{exp:channel:entries channel="sponsors" category="18" orderby="title" sort="asc" dynamic="no"}

Not having that in, as you have at the moment, means that it uses the last segment in your URL (sponsorname) to filter the entries that it retrieves.

Hope that helps,
Paul.

Brilliant.  Many thanks!  I’m new to this, so forgive my ignorance.

No worries.  I’ve been using EE for ages and still routinely forget about dynamic and wonder why everything isn’t working.
