How do I output all entries belonging to one of the current entry’s categories? An entry can be assigned to multiple categories.

For example: our policy entry assigned to “About” and “Policies” categories, all other entries (such as privacy policy, security policy belong to “policies” category) should be displayed on the side.

How can I implement it without any addon?

Thanks

So for the current entry being viewed you want to display a list of entries in the same categories (all categories it belongs to)?

This sounds like it’s a better fit for related entries where you can specify related entries per entry.

It could be tricky using categories, especially if you don’t want to use any plugins. You’d probably have to write a custom query and output the results inside the Channel Entries tag.

Take a look at related entries and see if that would work for you in your situation. If not then it would either be to a plugin or a custom query for categories so post back if you need further help.

Hi cpsadministrator,

I’m going to agree with Slippy on this one. Related entries would be a better fit overall.

Without hard-coding the category id you wanted to pull entries from, it would be a bit difficult to get only those entries.

If you will consider using an add-on, have a look at Primary Category. By assigning a “primary” category, in your example “policies”, you can use the special variables that Primary Category provides to limit a list to return those entries.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
