Trouble displaying featured entries
Development and Programming
Hi, For the main page of each category, I’d like to rotate through the images of 5 featured entries that are chosen by selecting a checkbox(field = product_featured} on the publish page of the entry. I have a flash file that reads an EE xml template to determine which images to show:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<content>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog='products' category='{embed:{segment_2}}' limit="5" disable='member_data|trackbacks' sort="desc" orderby="product_featured" search:product_featured="not IS_EMPTY"}
<item Image="{featured_banner}" Delay="5000" Link="{global_url}{flash_banner_link}"></item>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</content>The problem I’m having is images from featured entries of any category are showing up instead of just the ones related to the current page category.
If anyone has any ideas as to how I could go about resolving this I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve tried everything I could think of but haven’t been successful.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The stock EE publish page doesn’t have any check box fields. Are you using some sort of third party addon for this?
Hi Sue,
Thanks for your quick reply! I am using Brandon Kelly’s FieldFrame extension for the checkbox. Is there a better way to accomplish what I’m looking to do that you can think of?
Thanks again, Jeff
It’s not a matter of good or bad – it’s just we don’t provide direct support for third party addons. So I’m going to move this to the Extensions forum.
NOTE: Brandon also has his own support forum which you can find from his site.
