Simple question there, do you have $cat= something before you include blog.header.php ?
Because now, when you select a category it displays ALL posts.

If you must absolutely rely on setting a category, you may just use pre4 with pre3's blog.header.php file.

y $cat will list all the post in the cat? would't it take a long time to load

Maybe Listing 8 of 100 posts could be added and next and prev page

Just a thought though

Hi Michel,

what do you mean with

Edlef · Joined: 16 Mar 2002 Posts: 71

Hi,
i have followed the instructions and used the standard temlates with b2, the error still exists: If i load the page, b2 tries to show all entries for all categories.
I have checked my templates for the described $cat, but everything seemst to be ok
If i use the pre3's blog.header.php the think works, but with the old bug: When i select a category, it shows only entries from the recent index.php (last 7 days).
I have updated from pre3 to pre4.
Is there any hope??????

SMASH ONE DUMB BUG!!!!

In your 6pre4 'blog.header.php' file at about line 180 you should see:

i am biting in my carpet
Now the page loads, but the error is till there: i click a category and only the entries from the last 7 days are shown Sad

I have made an test: I have created a page and included the old blog.header.php -> it doesnt work.
I included the unmodified (without your fix) newpre4 blogheader.php and called it b2kat.php. If i call the page with for example b2kat.php?cat=4 it works like a charm.
On this page i can call the other categories also. But when i call only the b2kat.php without ?cat=xx the page starts to load and load and load. The same if i change in the options from 7 days to 50 posts...

You can check it here:

But thanks for your wonderful support, i am still hoping Very Happy

I'm having this same problem and I have ALL off. It seems it only shows all the post for a selected category when I use "show last 10 posts" in the options. If I change it to days and select a category, the category returns the set number of days as it should.

I am repeating here what I said over here http://tidakada.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1012

If someone already fixed this, please feel free to repeat yourself, because I missed it the first time.

Edlef,

Ok, I'll try again. Is this what you want:

just index page >> last # posts or last #days [option setting]

index w/ cat=x >> all posts from a category, ignoring post/day option

If this is true, that one more change is needed blog.header.php:
We need to skip the limit logic if the $cat set and skip the day logic if days set in options.

I'll take a look some more shortly.

Edlef and Chris,

The above correction is a bug and needs to be applied.

To get the functionality describe in my previous post, one line needs to change in blog.header.php:

At about line 172, find:

Hi Michael,

you are ONE OF THE GREATESTs!!!!!!!!!
Went home, make the above modifications in blog.header.php, upload the file to the server: It works like it should!

THANK you very much for your help!!!!!!

The only (little) problem:
I have the categories in a dropdownbox on my page. If i choose the category "fun" all the entries for fun are shown: wonderful!
If i choose now the category "All" from the dropdownbox: you know what happens? Yes, the page start to load ALL entries, not only the entries from the last seven days...
But i think i have to live with this error. Eventually i dont use the dropdownbox, and choose the listlayout....

THANX and greetings from Lueneburg
