Embeds and exp:channel:entries problems
Development and Programming
I can’t get my embedded channel entries tag to work. I’m using Taxonomy and pages. Here is my code:
{embed="structure/header"}
{embed="content/callout" page_id="{segment_1}"}
{exp:channel:entries channel={segment_1}}
{if count==1}
{exp:taxonomy:breadcrumbs tree_id="2" entry_id="{entry_id}" display_root="yes"}
<div class="clear"></div>
{/if}
<div id="primary-content">
<h1>{title}</h1>
{body}
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}
{embed="structure/footer"}And the content/callout template is:
CALLOUTS TEMPLATE
{segment_1}
<div id="callouts-wrapper">
{exp:channel:entries channel="callouts"}
<div id='callout'>
<h2>{callout_title}</h2>
{callout_body}
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>I see the “CALLOUTS TEMPLATE” message and the {segment_1} tag, but I don’t get any of my callout entries. Is this a limitation of the pages taxonomy duo, or am I missing some error in my code?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi jwindhorst,
Looks like you’re missing the quotes here around the channel parameter:
{exp:channel:entries channel="{segment_1}"}Thanks Greg, you are correct, unfortunately even after adding the quotes I’m having the same problem. I was able to create a workaround using the query tag, but it’s far from elegant and I feel like the approach I posted here is a more EE way of dealing with it.
When you visit a ‘page’ which is a pages module uri, you’ll need to set the dynamic=”no” parameter on your other channel_entries tags.
At the moment you’re callout template is trying to render the entry with the current pages uri, which of course doesn’t exist and returns nothing.
Thanks guys I’ve gotten working after a bit of restructuring. BTW Iain, in reference to an earlier convo we had, the selectatron rules!
