I am developing a site for a record label and have two categories, current artist and alumini, I want to list all of the current artists at the top of the page under that category heading and the alumini underneath respectively.

What is the easiest way of doing this?

Hi Patrick,

This should certainly get your line of thoughts in the right direction:

{assign_variable:my_weblog='artists'}
{exp:weblog:categories weblog='{my_weblog}' style='linear' }
  <h2>{category_name}</h2>
<p>  <ul><br />
  {exp:weblog:entries weblog='{my_weblog}' category='{category_id}'}<br />
    <li>{title}</li><br />
    {if no_results}<br />
      <li>No {category_name} yet…</li><br />
    {/if}<br />
  {/exp:weblog:entries}<br />
  </ul><br />
{/exp:weblog:categories}

If you’re using EE2, it’s simply replacing all the weblog references for channel.

Cheers Wouter - definately on the right track problem is it just list category as a title above the entries but duplicates the entries underneath - it’s not showing the entries solely from that category. Below is my code:

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="artists" style="linear"}
<h1>{category_name}</h1>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="artists" dynamic="off" orderby="date" sort="asc"}
<div class="boxgrid slideright">
{site_url}scripts/timthumb/timthumb.php?src={exp:parse_url total=

<strong>{title}</strong>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://{path=%27artist/%27}{url_title}" title="{title}">View Artist</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}




{/exp:weblog:categories}

I have acheived the desired outcome before but only with gallery entries - I think I am overlooking something simple here.

Any suggestions?

Cracked it - used the Grants method from here:

All I had to do was add the category_id tag in the entries tag - working fine now.

Close this mofo down.
