Can't use channel parameter in 2.0

james.spibey 1 May 2012 17:09 problem, complete

We upgraded to 2.0 but we have a problem in that it seems the new entries tag doesn't allow you to specify which channel to use. For example

{exp:low_reorder:entries set="5" channel="{sn_program_channel_list_from_url}"}

This uses a snippet to get a list of channels from the url, but it seems Low Reorder ignores to channel parameter

   Hi James,
   
   yeah, the Set parameter will set the channel parameter according to the Set's settings. Currently, this cannot be overwritten. How are you using a set at the moment? Selecting all channels in one big list and filtering on the fly by channel?
   
   I could do a quick update allowing for the overwriting of parameters, if that will help you.

   Yes, basically I have a set which spans multiple channels (about 10 actually) where the set is filtered down to show one entry per channel (by status). I need to show all entries on one page, and then a subset on other pages. The snippet sn_program_channel_list_from_url gives me either all channels or a subset depending on the url.
   
   I could achieve the same by creating multiple sets, but then we'd have to maintain the order in each one which would be a bit of a headache.
   
   If you could allow the channel parameter to be overridden that would be a great help
   
   Thanks

   I'll get on it first thing tomorrow morning.

   Hi James,
   
   v2.0.1 should work better with other parameters. Could you give it a go?

   Hi,
   
   Yes, that looks like it's working fine.
   
   Thanks for the quick fix!
