Hi There. Don't know if this is possible, but please help a newbie .... tongue.gif

Here's what I am trying to do - Iinput an entry lets say about a movie, it makes an archive page called “Movie Title” – that gets posted under a Side Title -Movies. Then when someone click on "Movie Title" it takes them to a page with the all the entries about that Movie.

The next time I put another entry about the same movie – it gets archived in the movie title news archive and shown in the "Movie Title" Page or Archive.

Its probably really simple for you guys but its got me goin around in circles.

If I understand what you mean, you'd want to set up each movie title as a category in your blog, and then assign each entry about it to that category.

Turn on category archiving, then you can create a list like this:

CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$> (<MTArchiveCount>)</a><br />
</MTArchiveList>

Thanks but when I do that, it lists all the categories. I guess what I want to be able to do is to have different side sections - for instance movies with a list of movies, music with a list of music. And only the movies categories to go under movies and the same for music.  

UGh!!!

Are all the movie titles categorized under "Movies"?

CODE
<MTEntries category="Movies">
<a href="<$MTEntryLink archive_type="Category"$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries><br />
<MTEntries category="Music">
<a href="<$MTEntryLink archive_type="Category"$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries>
