How to show weblog entries within different weblog categories?

    I have a weblog of just quotes. I want to pull those quotes into other weblog templates on the site. I’m doing that now with the following code:

    {exp:weblog:entries  weblog="quotes"  orderby="random"  limit="1" }
    {body_quotes}
    {title}
    {/exp:weblog:entries}

    This works fine in regular templates. But when I try to show the quotes in a category of a weblog, the quotes do not show up. Am I missing something in the tag above that’s not allowing the quotes entries to show up in a category of a different weblog?

    Thanks

    Have no idea with this but many issues that i have had is fixed with dynamic=“off” in the weblog entries tag. Try it! Not sure if that helps but came to my mind because i have managed to get things going in some issues with adding that.

    Thanks Tuittu.

    I tried your suggestion and that did not solve the problem. But it was worth a try. 😊
    It’s probably something fairly simple, but so far, it eludes me.

    You were right after all, and it appears that the dynamic=“off” variable did the trick. What was throwing it off, was that I had copied it from this forum, and the quotation marks were curly, instead of plain. I corrected that and the quotes started showing up like they were supposed to.

    Thanks for your help!
