Hello, I have some categories (one ID1, two ID2, three ID3) and all categories has entries, status open, not expired =) working entries

I have next tag

{exp:channel:entries channel="mychannel" status="open" category_id="some number" disable="category_fields|member_data"}  
{title} <br>
{/exp:channel:entries}

and when I have this url http://***/template_group/category/one/
I see some entries

when I have this url http://***/template_group/category/two/
I don’t see any entries
but when I use category_id=“2” parameter it work good…

But there is no parameter category_id in docs http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/channel_entries.html
Why this work?????

Hello 24here,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this snag.

You are correct, category_id=“” is not a parameter of the Channel Entries Tag. It is a tag pair, but not a parameter. I do not know why that made it work, I copied your code above and played with category_id=”” and it did not matter what I put in there, it was ignored, as it should be.

Can you show me more of the template. I am not getting the full picture of how you are trying to accomplish this. The whole template would be good and the link that brings you to the template.

Thank you,

Here is a code http://pastie.org/private/qycybgo0xnogpbmsfowa

Hi 24here,

That template has a lot going on in it. I’d like you to simplify the template to use only the code that is not working correctly for you. If this is on a live site then I recommend creating a test template and strip down your code there to see if we can get this working. I’d first like to get rid of all the conditionals so that we can focus down on the relevant code.

Based on what I read above and what I see in the template I’m guessing that this buit is the relevant section. Is this correct?

{if:else}
    <!--h3 style="text-transform: uppercase;">{segment_3_category_name}</h3-->
    {segment_3_category_description}
    <div class="catalog">
     {exp:channel:entries channel="compl" url_title="not primechanie|sborka" status="open"
        category_id="{segment_3_category_id}"
        disable="category_fields|member_data"}
        <div class="item">
            <div class="project" >
                <a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{exp:ce_img:pair src="{pic}" height="80" crop="yes" auto_cache="_cache"}{made}{/exp:ce_img:pair} </a>
                <div class="name"><b><a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{title}</a></b> {if member_group == '1' OR member_group == '6'} <a href="/adm/index.php?S=0&D=cp&C=content_publish&M=entry_form&channel;_id={channel_id}&entry;_id={entry_id}">/images/edit.gif/a>{/if} </div>
                <!--div class="price"></div-->
            </div><!--.project-->
        </div><!--.item-->
  {switch='|||<div class="clear"></div>'}
  {/exp:channel:entries}
  <div class="clear"></div>
    </div><!--.catalog-->
{/if}

Hi, Sean.

Yes this part of code output my entries

Hey 24here,

Did you get a chance to create a new template and test out the code block above per Sean’s directions?

Cheers,

Yes I did it, the same result. Also I clear all my template and left only this code (with category=”“) - nothing

Hey 24here,

This is odd.

Are you using any Add-Ons like Structure that deal with the URL?

What is the issue you are having now. If segment three is one it works but anything else does not work?

You might also look through your conditionals and see if you are not running into a Parse Order issue.

Please let me know what Add-Ons you are using.

Cheers,
