    Is it possible to set the category dynamically for the Blog Posts element?

    For example, I have a page /mypage which includes Blog Posts element with category set to ‘News’. I would like to be able to change the category to ‘Events’ or ‘Misc’ by changing the URL. So /mypage displays all categories by default but /mypage?category=news displays news only and /mypage?category=events displays only events.

    Is there a way to make this possible? Or a different method to achieve the same result?

    Many thanks

    Hey Rustybucket,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    There is no option for this by default, unfortunately. You may need to install a plugin or extend the functionality of the blog posts element with the help of a third party developer. Please check the link below.

    Hi,

    UPDATE: There is a possible solution but you have to use the Portfolio Grid element and its category sort option.

    Thanks Ismael

    You mention “extend the functionality of the blog posts element”, is there a hook I can use to achieve that? I can probably do the development myself but would be good to know what options are available (if any)?.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    There are available hooks in the shortcode template but none would be useful for what you are trying to do. You may need to override the existing shortcode (enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/blog) and customize it, or use it as a reference for a completely new element.

    That’s very helpful, thank you Ismael.

    Perhaps a mechanism to allow the user to filter blog post categories could be considered for future Enfold update.

    Thanks again
