Updated from 2.5.x to 2.10.1 - all categories showing

So after some testing it appears that EE is not recognizing that it is on a Category page…

When the code below is executed on a category page www.website.com/projects/worship/C5 it list all projects in the entire channel, not just the projects in the C5 category like it is supposed to.

{if segment_3}<!-- List of all Entries in a Category-->
{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" limit="20"}
...

If I physically change the code as shown below and go to the same URL it prints out the projects in C5 category…

{if segment_3}<!-- List of all Entries in a Category-->
{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" category="5" limit="20"}
...

This seems to be an issue with EE and not my code… am I missing something here? Is there some new obscure setting somewhere that i need to enable?

thanks,

Please everyone.. stop answering all at once </end sarcasm>

So after messing around int he control panel I found that when i go into the Administration -> Categories -> and select the “Projects” category, I cannot edit any of the categories. When i choose a category and select “Edit” i get the following Fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Library\Mime\finfo_open() in /home/user/EE_system_files/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Library/Mime/MimeType.php on line 117

any ideas on what is going on here?

There’s a mention of the mimes issue on this Ellislab blog post…

yep its currently set to disabled. I have a ticket into my server support to get that changed. Do you think that is the reason for the first issue I was talking about.

The first issue is something different…

I’d consider using Low Seg2Cat to help you pull out the category you need to change

{exp:channel:entries channel="projects" limit="20"}

into

exp:channel:entries channel="projects" category="{segment_3_category_id}" limit="20"}

Note: code untested - might be {segment_3_cat_id} - can’t remember!

Thanks Jos,

that extension did the trick, but the {segment_3_category_id} call wasn’t working for me, but the {segment_category_ids} call worked just fine.

thanks you very much.

Do you happen to know a way around the finfo_open() issue. Unfortunately my host cannot enable fileinfo PHP extension.

Hello, did you get the ‘finfo_open() issue’ resolved as your host could not enable this?
