I am having some major problems with the category parameter on EE 1.7.0 Build:  20101018.

This code:

<ul>
 {exp:weblog:entries weblog="courses" dynamic="off" orderby="title" sort="asc" category="not 422"} 
  <li><a href="#a{entry_id}">{title}</a></li>
  {categories}
   {category_id}
  {/categories}
 {/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>

displays every course in the courses weblog including this gem:

MBA 610: Business Relationship Management
291 358 422

clearly categorized as 422.

<ul>
 {exp:weblog:entries weblog="courses" dynamic="off" orderby="title" sort="asc" category="422"} 
  <li><a href="#a{entry_id}">{title}</a></li>
  {categories}
   {category_id}
  {/categories}
 {/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>

displays the only course categorized as 422:

MBA 610: Business Relationship Management
291 358 422

WHAT IS HAPPENING???

As that entry is also assigned to categories 291 & 358 then unfortunately it will still show even if you put

category="not 422"

into the Weblog Tag parameter as it is assigned to those other categories which you want to show.

There have been quite a few posts about this and I believe there may well have even been some feature requests to try and get around this sort of thing but as 1.x isn’t being actively coded any more then you would need to put in a Feature Request for the 2.x branch and be using that I’m afraid.

Best wishes,

Mark, thanks for the help on this one.
