I have this setup:

Category Group: Video
Inside of Video Category Group: PHP, CSS

1: I created a regular Entry and assigned it to the CSS category.

Breakdown:

Video (Category Group)
-- PHP (Category)
-- CSS (Category)
---- Entry 'Test' (Assigned to CSS)

2: I go to my template @ http://jream/ee/site/video (local site)
3:Within the Site/Video Template: I placed this code n here:

{exp:channel:categories channel="video" style="linear"}
    <a href="http://{path=channel/index}">{category_name}</a>
{/exp:channel:categories}

4: I am getting a list of the categories contained within video, Good.

So I have a question here..
1: The link url looks like: http://jream/ee/channel/C14—Why is this? Can I change this to http://jream/ee/site/video/category-title/entry-title.

2:  I attempted to list all the Entries associated with a Category (Not the category Group) using the {exp:channel:categories category_group=2} tag, however I realize this is accessing the Group, not the category.. It seems I’d have to do a little bit of a jerry-curl trick to accomplish this.

Could anyone shed some light or let me know if Im going about this a very bad way?

Category url titles are turned on under:

CP Home > Administration > Global Channel Preferences > Use Category URL Titles In Links?

To list all entries in a category:

- First build a template that lists all entries in the channel - using the {exp:channel:entries} tag.

- Then load that template at a category url—this is done by using the {exp:channel:caetgories} tag pair and using the {path='template_group/template'} variable.  The link EE generates should now include the category url title.

- When the template that used to show all entries is loaded with a valid category url title showing the {exp:channel:entries} tag will dynamically self-filter to only show entries from that category.
