Did you solve this? Couldn’t you just add a (PHP?) flag that gets set within the No Results? And then when you come out of that main loop just evaluate that flag and see if you need to run another loop for the other categories?

Another similar option might be to set up some sort of array of the categoires in the order you want to check for them. Then have an outer foreach loopwith the EE loop within it that uses category=”Cat[foreach_array] and just keep working down the array as the No Result comes back = True. Kinda recursive but not really.

Btw, while I’m here – you know anything about putting the Flickr share code into an EE weblog? Maybe my head just isn’t on straight but it doesn’t seem to be as simple as just pasting it in EE. That doesn’t seem to want to render right. Or is it just me?

This looks like a great way to do it, especially with complex parameters like show_expired to deal with. I’d be curious to see how many queries this results in, but I’m guessing that if it didn’t infinite-loop out, it’s probably okay. Thanks for the tip!
