Hi,

Up till now, I have been storing my commentary blog and my linklog as two separate blogs, and combining both on a third, container blog using (so that they each appear on a single, front page).

Now I've decided to try bringing everything within one blog, with two overarching categories (Commentary and Linklog) corresponding to the above, and existing categories below these...

I've downloaded and installed David Raynes' MTSubCategories plugin and have set up my subcategory structure...

What I now what to know is... how can I display the entries from my Commentary category in my main column, then entries from my Linklog category in the other? ie. how do I constrain MTEntries to display only specified categories/subcategories?

Suggestions/opinions on this approach welcome.

Many thanks.

I haven't played with David's subcategories plugin, so I'm not sure how it works. But on his page, I see MTEntriesWithSubCategories defined, and I think that might be helpful to you -- by using
CODE
<MTEntriesWithSubCategories category="Commentary">

and

<MTEntriesWithSubCategories category="Linklog">

I think that should do it.

... presumably replacing the wrapper with ... ?

Check out the examples on David's subcategories plugin page. It looks like the tags I suggested are used as a replacement to the MTEntries container. But David's site has a lot more info smile.gif
