Hi everyone,
Just wondering if someone might have a better way to go about what I wish to achieve.

I plan to publish various documents to their specific category. I also want to make sure I can take advantage of the tags {category_name} and {category_description}

like so :

Category 1
This is the description of category 1
- file 1
- file 2

Category 2
]This is the description of category 2
- file a
- file b
- file c

Here is what I am using currently, but I will have to add this loop for every specific catagory i wish to display.

This example will only list documents for ‘Category 1’

{exp:channel:categories channel="document" show="1"}
{category_name}
{category_description}
            
{exp:channel:entries category="1" channel="document"}
{title}
{document_description}
{/exp:channel:entries}

{/exp:channel:categories}

Is there a better way to go about this, so i only have 1 loop that spits out the category name, its description, its related files, for each category , one after the other ?

Thanks in advance.

This should do it… Full description here:

{exp:channel:category_archive channel="default_site" style="linear"}

{categories}
<h3>{category_name}</h3>
<p>{if category_description}{category_description}{/if}<br />
{/categories}</p>

<p>{entry_titles}<br />
<a href="http://{path=SITE_INDEX}">{title}</a></p>

<p>{/entry_titles}</p>

<p>{/exp:channel:category_archive}

Thanks cheif, appreciated
