I’m having a channel:entries issue with one of my sites. This happens spuraticaly.

I created a channel called ‘projects’.

When viewing a single project entry, for example /projects/entry_title, the page lists out all project entries rather than the single entry.

I use a conditional statement to determine wether to display html for a single entry or multiple entries:

{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" status="published" disable="member_data|pagination" }
       
{if total_results > 1 || segment_2 == ""}
// display multiple entries
{if:else}
// display single entry
{/if}

I am caching the template file, clearing the cache resolves the issue. However, after some time the issue crawls back up.

Any ideas, suggestions are much appreciated.

So the template is designed to display single and multiple entries?  And even when your URL has a valid url title from one entry in it it’s displaying multiple?

I’d try breaking up your conditional into two separate conditionals, and putting your channel entries loop within it.  This way you can take advantage of some additional parameters that help ensure proper results:

{if segment_2 ==""}
{exp:channel:entries channel="projects".....
stuff
{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

{if segment_2 !=""}
{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" limit="1" require_entry="yes"}
stuff
{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

Excellent, Mike. alettieri does that help?

Yes, that’s my problem exactly. Thank you very much, I’ll work in the suggested changes and will reply with the results!

Hey alettieri,
