‘Select Dropdown’ category specifies what channel enties to appear.

Hi, I already posted this help request in the Community Forum however i have not gotten a working answer. Any help with this is greatly aprpeciated.

This is my navigation:

Media In The News Media Releases Videos -Youth -Family -Communtiy Library Newsletter

Everything under Media uses the same template - Media/index.

There is a channel called content_page. Every page in the site has a content_page entry

On the Media template, i currently have this code:

{exp:channel:entries channel=“content_page”}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<div id=“body”>
{content}
{if entry_id == “131”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/in-the-news”}
{/if}
{if entry_id == “132”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/media-releases”}
{/if}
{if entry_id == “133”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/library”}
{/if}
{if entry_id == “134”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/newsletter”}
{/if}
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

So for example, if we are on the library page, which has a content_page channel entry of 133, then it embed the template called library.

Each of the 4 templates noted have their own channel associated with it. For example, the library template starts off with:

{exp:channel:entries channel="library" sort="desc" dynamic="no"}

1. So based on this, I need to know what code to place onto the Media template, to tell it to load the Videos template..

{embed=“ignore_includes/videos”}

..if either the youth, family or community pages is visited. And obviously the related content_page channel entry appears.

The first thing that comes to mind would be..

{if entry_id == “135”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/videos”}
{/if}
{if entry_id == “136”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/videos”}
{/if}
{if entry_id == “137”}
{embed=“ignore_includes/videos”}
{/if}

.. where 135 is the content_page entry for youth, 136 for family.. and so on.

Now since each of those is loading the exact same template, this is obviously not how you would code this. I need to know how.

..

Now for the Videos channel, there is a field called vid_category. (This uses the ‘P&T Radio Buttons’ type (custon field from Pixel&Tonic;)).

This consists of the three options: Youth, Family, Community

So I have the Videos template which currently has this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="video" sort="desc" dynamic="no"}
<h2>{title}</h2>{vid_info}
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/{vid_id}?title=0"></iframe>
{/exp:channel:entries}

2. I need to know what code to place within this to tell it to load the relevant vid_category option, based on the initial page i am on (noted earlier).

(I understand that 2. might not be requried based on what is placed for 1. (??))

I really appreciate any help on this.
