Seg2Cat in a reverse_related, category being ignored

Finn Steele 24 Oct 2012 17:34 question, complete

Hello and thank you for your free plugin!

My URL is /exhibitions/category/exhibition-1/ (and exhibition-2, exhibition-3 etc.)

I'm using the code below, and was hoping that Seg2Cat would return only those {work_image:thumb}s that have the category in the current URL assigned to them.

However the first {work_image:thumb} that is being found is being returned - regardless of category.

If I just put {segment_3_category_id} somewhere in the template, it correctly prints the current category on the screen.

I've tried various other tags such as _category_name, _last_category etc.

Thanks!

   Actually, this is because the reverse_related_entries variable pair doesn't support the category="" parameter. You're probably better off using Playa instead.

   Thank you, I had no idea!
   
   I was actually doing this, which seemed to work:
   
   {categories}
   {if category_url_title == segment_3}
   reverse related entry
   {/if}
   {/categories}
   
   But as soon as I put a limit of 1 in the reverse related entry it stopped working properly.
   
   I'll check out Playa as you suggest. Thanks again for your help!
