    I have a music site and I have different weblogs for bands and for albums. I have relation between them -> When you create new album, you have to choose band.

    I have managed to make listings of all bands and albums (test site: http://www.rockmusica.net/RM/levyhylly/ in Finnish).

    I have also band pages what lists all albums from same artists (same thing than in that previous listing: http://www.rockmusica.net/RM/yhtye/badly_drawn_boy/ )

    And I have, of course, template which shows single reviews (this site is all about reviews): http://www.rockmusica.net/RM/arvostelut/have_you_fed_the_fish/

    What I wanna do is have that “all albums from same artist” in that single review page. I have tried all kind of things, but I really don’t get it. I know that I don’t have artist name in the url, and that is what makes it difficult. I think it would be better in SEO-wise if I had, so that would be great addition.

    Now I have templates like (now In English so you understand better):

    /all_album (this lists all albums)
    /artist/artist_name (this list all albums by “Artist Name”)
    /review/album_name (single review)

    I think ideal would be:

    /review/artist_name/album_name/ (and this page would work like /review/album_name)

    Am I asking stupid things? I know I’m so close but I just don’t get this working…

    I realized that I didn’t ask anything 😊

    So how can I make links like /review/artist_name/album_name/ and how I make my /review/ template to show single item (album_name) but also use that artist_name so I can get all other albums from that same artist?
