I have a site with three sections: Home, Blogs, Work

Say I setup three sets of categories to tag the posts with:

1) Section: (Home, Blogs, Work) - the section of the site
2) Area: IT, Development, Music - area of expertise
3) Type: Web, Letter, Note - type of post

If I categorise a post with ‘Work’ and ‘Development’ - to go on the work page how would I only show a post that has these two distinct categories checked?

Currently, if I tag something with ‘Development’ under the ‘Blog’ section, the post from the ‘Work’ section shows up too, due to it having the same category checked ‘Development’.

Any ideas, on how I can get distinct entries per page, based on what section category is ticked?

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

Did you look at category parameter for the channel entry tag http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/channel_entries.html#category

If it not helping you, please share further.

This is what I have been using, but it says that even if you use category:not the post will still show up.

My category request looks like below on the work section:

Category ID:
1 = Home, 2 = Blogs, 3 = Work, 4 = IT, 5 = Development, 6 = Music, 7 = Web, 8 = Letter, 9 = Note

{exp:channel:entries channel="posts" category="3|5" category="not 1&2"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

This obviously pulls in all posts tagged with ‘Development’ but ones I had tagged under ‘Blog’ (not work)

Basically, is there any way of getting distinct posts if they are tagged under the same category?

Thanks
