Hi
I am working on the news section of my web site where i have created 2 categories
news_releases
press_releases.
I have assigned some news webblogs to each of these categories. When you click on the news link on the web site navigation you are directed to the news template displaying the latest news weblog as the main news story and then a list of news weblogs titles on the right side.

This all works fine. Here is my code for displaying the category news weblog titles on the right

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" orderby="news_date" sort="asc"}
            <li>{news_title}</li>
                {/exp:weblog:entries}

My problem occurs when you click on one of the news weblogs titles on the right. here is the url when clicked.

I lose the list of articles on the right as it does not know what the category is now as it is not part pf the url.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks

Would Category Archive be more helpful for you?

Thanks for your reply

I have added the category archive code to the template news.

I still have my original problem where i need to only display the news weblog list for a pecific category which i get from the url. Is this possible? 

As you can see from the url above, the category is “news_releases”. Is it possible to only display category archive web blogs from the url?

Thanks

Ah yes you need to use segment variables - category =”{segment_3}” for example.

Thanks

I was looking at using segments which are fine when i click on a category link
(http://corvil.pmhclients.com/index.php/news/category/news_releases/)
but when i click on a new weblog link my url is
http://corvil.pmhclients.com/index.php/news/credit_suisse/
and i dont have the segment category value any more. Is there some way I can retain the segment value when i view my new weblog using the later url?
