Entries still show up after being removed from a category

Joseph Wensley 18 Oct 2012 19:29 problem, complete

I have a Reorder set that is set to show entries per single category, but I've noticed that if I reorder the entries in a category and then remove that category from an entry, the entry still gets displayed on the front end. It fixes itself if I clear the cache for that category order.

My entries tag is
{exp:low_reorder:entries
disable="categories|member_data"
paginate="bottom"
set="1"
}

   Hi Joseph,
   
   Yeah, cache needs to be cleared in that case. Also, how are you removing the categories from the entries? By editing the entry itself or are you using the multi-entry editing option?

   I'm editing the entry itself.
   
   Could you not clear the cache anytime an entry is updated?
   
   Having to go through and clear caching every time you change a category would be quite annoying if you have a lot of categories or change often.

   Actually, the cache should be cleared when an entry is deleted, so maybe there's something else going on...
   
   I'm in transit from Houston to Amsterdam right now, so I can't investigate thoroughly.
   
   So, just to be sure, if you remove a category from an ordered entry and then reload that category page on the front end, you still see the entry there? Do you have any other caching add-ons installed, perhaps?

   Yes, this is exactly what is happening.
   
   I don't have template caching on or any caching add-ons.

   Can't seem to replicate this behaviour. What version of Low Reorder are you using? Also, is this online somewhere I can take a look? If so, you can send me login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com.

   I'm using 2.0.4 and I just sent some login credentials.

   Hi Joseph,
   
   I've changed the opening tag to this:
   
   

   {exp:low_reorder:entries 
      {if segment_2 == "category"}category="{segment_3_category_id}"{/if} 
      disable="categories|member_data" 
      paginate="bottom" 
      set="1" 
    }

   
   
   ...so the category id is explicitly given for the set. This solves the issue for now.
