Dynamically allocating blog for template group

Greetings…

I am visualising a way to manage my site using multiple blogs.  The homeblog will have a set of categories which will relate to a series of other blogs.  I am hoping to find a way to have only two template groups - one for the HomePage, and one for the more detailed information in each category.

By naming my second tier blogs using the categories from the HomeBlog, I would like to set the blogname in the tag

{assign_variable:master_weblog_name="blogName"}

using something like {segment_3} - which I could hard link to the categoryName from my homeBlog.

I’ve tried:

{assign_variable:master_weblog_name="{segment_3}"} but it doesn’t work..

Is it indeed possible to dynamically assign this variable?

Any tips are greatly appreciated..

Philip

You posted this in a pMachine forum.

Also, please don’t post the same thing to multiple forums as that just makes support more difficult as well as making it harder for people to find things in searches.
