copied!<p>The problem you are having comes down to the exp:channel:entries loop running multiple iterations, which then uses Stash to set an associative array of values. Once the channel:entries is compete, you have an array of {this_category_name} variables, so it's never actually set like a regular variable.</p> <p>So you really have a few options:</p> <ol> <li>Use a URI segment, since those are parsed early.</li> <li>Use the exp:stash:set tag to set a snippet type variable which can be parsed later on the page.</li> <li>Hardcode the values</li> </ol> <p>Here is my code, which I have tested and can confirm works 100% on my end. 1 caveat, if your entries have multiple categories this will break. I believe this will use the first category set within the iteration.</p> <p>Note, be sure to use the process="end" parameters to manipulate the parse order, otherwise you will end up with a blank screen.</p> <pre><code>{exp:channel:entries channel="your-channel" dynamic="no" disable="member_data|pagination"} {exp:stash:append_list name='list' parse_tags="yes" save="yes" scope="site" context='{categories}{category_name}{/categories}'} {stash:this_title}{title}{/stash:this_title} {categories} {stash:this_category_name} {category_name} {/stash:this_category_name} {exp:stash:set name="test_var" type="snippet"}{category_name}{/exp:stash:set} {/categories} {/exp:stash:append_list} {/exp:channel:entries} {exp:stash:parse process="end"} {exp:stash:get_list name="list" parse_tags="yes" parse_conditionals="yes" context="{test_var}" process="end"} <div> all my stash variables and html etc. </div> {/exp:stash:get_list} {/exp:stash:parse} </code></pre> <p>I will add, that there is likely a much better way to tackle your problem. The logic of what you are trying to do doesn't really add up. I was merely attempting to answer your questions about Stash and if it <em>could</em> do it vs. being the best way.</p>
