Filtering low_reorder by category.

Chris LeBlanc 29 Oct 2012 00:51 question, complete

Sorry if this has been answered. I did my best to search for a solution.

Should low_reorder work with "short_name" uri in the category for filtering? Do I need to nest the {exp:channel:categories} tag as well?

I tried something like:

{exp:low_reorder:entries set="1" channel="product" category="{exp:channel:categories style='linear'}{if active}{category_id}{/if}{/exp:channel:categories}}

To no avail.

    Ah problem solved by using dynamic="yes" in the low_reorder parameter. Never thought I'd have dynamic bite me in the but the other way around :(

    Yeah, sorry. Dynamic is set to "no" internally to actually avoid confusion. In order to get the category from the URI with the category keyword and url_title, it should be set to "yes", as you found out.

    Of course, you could also use Low Seg2Cat (free) for slightly more control.
