Blog-plugin: Doesn't work category filter

[a-salihov]

plugin version 1.2.9

It seems that doesn't work category filter in the Post list component.
I used demo video as example. I created pages for blog, category and post entities.

1. I have category with news-tag slug.
2. I have page with URL /blog/category/:slug
3. Post List component on this page has "Category filter" parameter :slug

Problems:

• Result page (/blog/category/news-tag) display all posts instead displaying only "news-tag" posts.
• Also I tried to do custom page with Post list component on it. The same result when I set "Category filter" parameter to /blog/category/news-tag.

What do I do wrong?

P.S. When I use xdebug to change value of variable categoryId from :slug to news-tag in the /plugins/rainlab/blog/components/Posts.php, method loadCategory() everything works correctly.

Hi

Check out your post list component settings. The ">_" symbol should be on the left of ":slug", if it is on the right, click on it. When it's on the right - it's treated as a plain string value, when it's on the left - it is a parameter.

Or, if you are changing your settings in code, check out component settings section and make sure there is categoryFilter = "{{ :slug }}" instead of categoryFilter = ":slug" (for the same reason as above).
