Hi,
Do you know a plugin that can help me produce the following with MT4?

CODE

<h2>2008<h2>

<ul>
  <li>entry title</li>
  <li>entry title</li>
</ul>

<h2>2007<h2>

<ul>
  <li>entry title</li>
  <li>entry title</li>
</ul>

....

In the past I have used ArchiveDateHeader part of mt-gizmos http://appnel.com/kb/mt-gizmos

Thanks OtherNiceMan,
However I found MT already supports what I want. The plugin you recommended is not needed.

I used the following code in an archive template with Category mapping and it worked:

CODE

<mt:ArchiveList archive_type="Category-Yearly">
  <ul>
    <MTEntries>
      <li><$MTEntryTitle$></li>
    </MTEntries>
  </ul>
</mt:ArchiveList>

It outputs all entries from a category, grouped by <ul> for every year.

Initially no output was produced, then I learned you have to be publishing a yearly archive in addition (Category Yearly in my case). So I added a Category Yearly mapping and it worked. I wonder why there is such a requirement. Since I don't need separate category-yearly pages, I set its Publishing option to "Do Not Publish".
