I’m having a bit of a brain fart this morning and would appreciate some insight.

I currently have have 5 categories and within each category i have 10 entries, so a total of 50 entries.

I would like to list all 5 categories on a page and the entries beneath each one, for instance in this example the bold items are the categories and the italic are the items:

Category 1
Entry
Entry
Entry
Entry
Entry
Category 2
Entry
Entry
Entry
Entry
Entry
Category 3
Entry
Entry
Entry
Entry
Entry

The way I’m currently doing it it’s doing this:
Category 1
Entry
Category 1
Entry
Category 1
Entry

Category 2
Entry
Category 2
Entry
Category 2
Entry

Category 3
Entry
Category 3
Entry
Category 3
Entry

Would greatly appreciate any assistance you guys can provide.

Cheers!

Do you need anything more than a link to a title?

Yeah the “ENTRY” has the title, teaser, and some other custom fields.

Anybody have any insight on this?

Cheers!

Hiya,

Take a look at the Channel Category Archive Tag. Pretty sure that should do what you’re after here.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

Mark thanks for the reply, that tag to my understanding will only list the links to the entries rather than the entries themselves which is not what we’re going for.

Correct me if i’m wrong though.

Oops sorry. Mis-read what you had posted above. I just saw all the Entry texts and my minds eye saw those as the titles. Sorry.

Not sure if it could or more importantly should be done but perhaps you could use an embed to a template containing a channel entries tag to pull in the desired information using the entry_id_path perhaps?

That or a SQL query I guess?

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks for the assist, Mark.

chealey, a SQL query in an embed would probably be a slightly better choice. You’d have to know which fields to grab and display them correctly, but it’s doable.

Does that help?
