Jacob B wrote: I want to show 8 summarized newsitems at the homepage and from there link to different detailpages. Let's say I have two categories: 1 and 2. At the homepage the summarized items of the two categories can be shown in a mixed way. But when clicked on an item, it needs to be shown in the corresponding detailpage (In my example 1news or 2news). I tried to use a comma like this:

Code: Select all

{news number='8' category="1" detailpage="1news", category="2" detailpage="2news" }

but it results in that only the '2' items are properly shown on the homepage (including the link to the corresponding detailpage), while the '1' items are missing.
Anybody a tip how to handle this? Thanks for thinking about my question!

{if $entry->category eq 1}
  Here there is template part for category 1
{elseif $entry->category eq 2}
  Here there is template part for category 2
{else}
  Acc... Wrong!
{/if}

from your example to the a valid specification of the detailpage.

Here there is template part for category 1

{if $entry->category eq 1}

	<div id="NewsPostDetailCategory">{$category_label} {$entry->category} (CATEGORY 1)</div>
  {if $entry->formatpostdate}
	<div id="NewsPostDetailDate">{$entry->formatpostdate}</div>
  {/if}
	<h3 id="NewsPostDetailTitle">{$entry->title}</h3>

	<hr id="NewsPostDetailHorizRule" />

  {if $entry->summary}
	<div id="NewsPostDetailSummary"><strong>{eval var=$entry->summary}</strong></div>
  {/if}

	<div id="NewsPostDetailContent">{eval var=$entry->content}</div>

	<div id="NewsPostDetailPrintLink">{$entry->printlink}</div>
  {if $return_url != ""}
	<div id="NewsPostDetailReturnLink">{$return_url}</div>

{elseif $entry->category eq 2}

........

{$entry->titlelink|replace:"news-detail":"news-detail-`$entry->category`"}

Jacob B wrote: Alby, I tried your suggestion, which is quite creative I think, but unfortunately both categories opened the news details at the home-page, instead of the categorie-pages. It is possible that is has to do with pretty-url settings?

Have you 2 pages with news-detail-1 and news-detail-2 (if 1 and 2 are your categories)?
Check in html source if title link is correct or not.
I forgot backtick in example!

Yes
When I check html source of the titlelink, the detailpage is not in the URL, in my case it looks like this:
http://www.domain.org/news/4/55.html
So i doubt whether your replace function can work in this way. Do you think it can really work like this? Is the detailpage normally included in the URL?

Jacob B wrote: Both categories show the same page-ID. For test purposes I named one of my pages "news-detail" and this is where both categories show the details of the new-sitem. I still hope you (or someone else) can fix this issue.

I'm still thinking of Mark's idea:

mark wrote: You could try...

{news number='4' category="1" detailpage="1news"}
{news number='4' category="2" detailpage="2news" }

but the big disadvantage here is the sorting of the items, because they're now sorted by category+date and not by date only. Or is there a solution for this as well?
