Sorry if this an obvious one, but I’m not sure how to code it.
I have URLs like this already, which show the required Entry Categories in specific Segments: /products/*productype_url*/brand/*productbrand_url*/size/*productsize_url*
And I have my Reefine parameters like his:
{exp:reefine channel="products" parse="inward" category_url="{segment_2}|{segment_4}|{segment_6}"}
But I’m not getting any products output from this:
{entries}
{exp:channel:entries channel="products"}
How do I achieve this?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Oliver
The category param doesn’t take pipes | I don’t think so you’ll need to use and if statement such as {if segment_2!=’‘}{segment_2}{/if} etc

If you can get the category ID then you can use pipe eg category=“2|4|5”.

Thanks Patrick.
Yes, I’ve now used Low’s Seg2Cat plugin to enable the following method:
{exp:reefine channel="products" parse="inward" category="{segment_2_category_id}|{segment_4_category_id}|{segment_6_category_id}"}
{entries}
{exp:channel:entries channel="products" entry_id="{entry_ids}" pagination="bottom" limit="12"}
This outputs all the products that are included in ANY of the selected Categories.

To output all the products that are included in ALL of the selected Categories, I’ve also tried this method, which seems to work nicely:
{!-- Pre-parse the current URL to build an Inclusive Category String, for use in the exp:channel:entries tag --}
{preload_replace:filteredcategories="{if segment_2 != "any"}{segment_2_category_id}{/if}{if segment_4 != "any"}{if segment_2 != "any"}&{/if}{segment_4_category_id}{/if}{if segment_6 != "any"}{if segment_2 != "any" || segment_4 != "any"}&{/if}{segment_6_category_id}{/if}"}
{exp:reefine channel="products" parse="inward" category="{segment_2_category_id}|{segment_4_category_id}|{segment_6_category_id}"}
{entries}
{exp:channel:entries channel="products" category="{filteredcategories}" entry_id="{entry_ids}" pagination="bottom" limit="12"}
