Hi, I am quite new to EE (started yesterday) and love it. Of course I am finishing my first site and now encounter my first real problem.

My goal is to build a list of Articles ordered by Categories, the code I would expect is this :

I don’t see a way to do this with the weblog:category_archive since I need it to loop on the extra chunk that is the container div.

Any suggestion ?

I found a solution, not a really pretty one since it isn’t DRY at all. I hope to find something more elegant later :

I have the exact same issue.  I need to build <ul>lists of articles that are contained in a “category” div.  This should be a relatively simple task IMHO.

At least three members have posted the same basic question in the last week, w/ no eloquent solutions found.    I’m not seeing much flexibility in the category_archive tag.  Tags can’t be nested, correct? 

Are there any useful articles out there on looping and nesting? I’m searching everywhere.  HELP! 

We are very excited about the possibility of using EE for our site but it feels like I’m slamming into limitations right out of the box.  Are we missing something simple?

Thanks!

I just found this wiki article,Category Archives with Custom Fields that shows a solution that works…. but sounds load intensive.

I’d still love to see a more useful category_archive or moare articles on techniques.

Cheers,

Following your finding here is the code I came with. But like it says since it can be quite load intensive I have used the disable function. Anyway once the cache is turned on this shouldn’t be ar real problem.
