Thread

I have a normal {exp:weblog} tag which I would like to filter by both category and date, dynamically.

http://mysite.com/index.php/weblog/category/cat_name works.

http://mysite.com/index.php/weblog/2008/11 works.

http://mysite.com/index.php/weblog/category/cat_name/2008/11 doesn’t work.

http://mysite.com/index.php/weblog/2008/11/category/cat_name doesn’t work.

Is there a way to do this? I’ve already searched the forums, wiki and documentation, but can’t find anything about it. I’m guessing there’s a note about this somewhere that I just haven’t come across yet.

I must have had a typo somewhere, because I just tried again - http://mysite.com/index.php/weblog/category/cat_name/2008/11 works!

But!

Is there a way to nicely generate this type of link? {path} will append your category inside {exp:weblog:categories}, but doesn’t append existing URL segments. I could construct the URL myself, but that seems like a bit of a hack…

knite:

Are you using a weblog categories tag pair?  If so, maybe using the {category_url_title} parameter can help you get started.

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="events" style="linear"}<a href="http://{path=%27plain/calendar%27}{if">{category_name}</a>

That’s the code I’m using right now. Ugly, but it works. Is there a cleaner way to do this?

Also, my code as originally written used double-quotes for both != checks. It did not display correctly in this post inside a code block.

This is certainly one way of doing it. As always, there are multiple approaches. Would you want me to move this over to Howto for further discussion, or do you consider the issue resolved?

Resolved but vaguely disgruntled. 😊
