Hello i have a problem with weblog tag
I want to output featured block on top of category page

{exp:weblog:entries  weblog="{my_weblog}" category="{category_id}&7;"  limit="1" orderby="date" sort="desc" dynamic="off"  disable="pagination|member_data|trackbacks"}

Where {category_id} current category id and 7 is featured category. Unfortunately this is not works.

I can output {category_id} with out any problem and this tag works with out any problem when i replace by id of category

Will appreciate any advice

{category_id} isn’t going to be parsed- unless you’re nesting that tag inside something else.  Which I generally don’t recommend, though a category_heading tag would likely be ok.  So- either try it nested in a category_heading tag- or you’ll likely need some php in order get the current cat id from the url.  Oh- and you’ll likely need the dynamic=“off” paramter as well.

Does that make sense?

Thanks Robin,

Putting it into category heading tag helped us. We have just small bug with category name for inner post that no the same. But this isn’t important for us.

Thanks for your help.

So, are we ready to close that one out?

yes thanks

There we go.
