Hello.

I have a footer template that I embed on different page templates. One section of the footer displays a list of my latest news articles from the channel ‘News’. When this footer is displayed on the ‘single news story’ page, for example, only the story being currently viewed shows-up in the footer.

When I am on a different single entry page for a different channel, in this case ‘Case Studies’, then nothing at all shows-up in the news articles in the footer.

The tag pairs are both separate and both open and closed in their respective areas on the templates.

What should I be looking for to resolve this?

I appreciate any help :0)

Thanks.

You’re after the dynamic=“no” parameter. In your footer file, for your news entries, add that paramter.

E.g.

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="no"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

dynamic=“no” tells EE to not set any parameters based on what’s on the URL, which is why you’re seeing odd behaviour across different pages.

Brilliant! Thank you very much. That worked perfectly. I’ll have to go and research what that parameter does.

:cheese:

No worries, there’s a well made video at: http://www.train-ee.com/courseware/free-tutorials/comments/dynamic-off-explained/ that explains the parameter.

Just saw that video. Very good 😊

Should it be dynamic=“off” or “no”?

(Using EE2.X.X)

I believe dynamic=“off” was for EE 1.x, and it was changed to “no” in 2.x. Except for that, the concept is the same.

Okay, thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.

Hey Iceberg Creative,

Glad Michael was able to lend a hand here.

Yup, the dynamic=“no” parameter is what you’re looking for.

If you have any more questions, feel free to post again.

Thanks guys!
