Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically pass the channel name to the below (indicated in red)?

{exp:stats channel="{DYNAMIC}”}{last_entry_date format="{DATE_W3C}”}{/exp:stats}

I’ve even tried an embedded template, but to no avail:
{exp:stats channel="{embed='includes/.test'}”}{last_entry_date format="{DATE_W3C}”}{/exp:stats}

Hi cliffdangler,

You could use Segment variables to set the channel in this fashion:

{exp:stats channel=”{segment_2}”}{last_entry_date format=”{DATE_W3C}”}{/exp:stats}

If you had a URL similar to this:

<a href="http://your.domain.com/template-group/news">http://your.domain.com/template-group/news</a>

The word “news” would be assigned to the {segment_2} variable and then the stats tag would use that to pull the stats for the “news” channel.

In your second example, you simply can’t use embeds as part of a parameter. They are intended to embed other *templates*, does that make sense?
