I’m adding entries to a channel called “fotos” in different categories.

Now I just want to be able to filter these entries based on the current category a user is browsing.

{exp:channel:entries channel="fotos"}
      <li>{foto}</li>
{/exp:channel:entries}

The code above just shows all entries, disregarding the parameter I give in my url like this:

http://www.domain.local/multimedia/fotos/category/categoryname

Do I need to tell EE how to filter on the given categoryname? I have double checked that the category name exists and that the “category” word has been set as the “Category URL Indicator”

Thanks for helping me out here!

goodbytes,

that should work for you. If you add the category heading tag to your template does it display the correct heading for each category you visit? Add this outside the channel:entries tag

{exp:channel:category_heading channel="fotos"}

<h1>{category_name}</h1>

{/exp:channel:category_heading}

Thanks for getting back to me.
That doesn’t seem to work when building url’s like this:

http://www.domain.local/multimedia/fotos/category/mycategory

however, this works:

http://www.domain.local/multimedia/fotos/C2

Any ideas how I can make it work with the clean url structure instead of C2?

goodbytes,

Head to your Global Channel Preferences and turn on Use Category URL Titles In Links?
Admin > Channel Administration > Global Channel Preferences

does that help?
