I'm creating a weblog with 6 categories. I already have the main weblog template, which has recent posts from all categories, as well as links for weekly archives of all categories.

Now I need to have a similar template for each category, which would have recent posts for only that category, and links to weekly archives for only that category.

So, basically, I need to have a full-weblog view of the all posts, and then the ability to limit my view to only one category at a time. I don't want a simple category archive page, though, where all posts within a category are listed on a single page.

The category archive pages themselves are already half way there, but the weekly archive links are still for all categories. How can I create categorized weekly archives and what code can I use to limit the weekly archive links on each category archive page to just the category on the page?

Is the reason I haven't gotten a moderated response to this because it can't be done? Even that would help me move on...

Any guidance is much appreciated!

Moderators don't always respond to everything. However, I am surprised that no one has responded in a month.

Maybe now that your post has been bumped back up to the top of the list, someone will see it and respond.

Have you tried searching mt-plugins.org for a plugin that might help?

There isn't an automatic way to do this (that I can recall), mixing the category and date-based contexts. But, I have a feeling you might be able to whip something up with the TagInvoke plugin, or using php (perhaps including a list in from elsewhere). huh.gif

We're not actually here to answer all of the questions, by the way. It just looks that way, sometimes. wink.gif
