Here is what I'm trying to do:

CODE

Mois
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<a href="/dojo/<$MTArchiveDate format="%Y/%m"$>/"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a> 
</MTArchiveList>

Articles
<MTArchiveList category="Dojo AND Articles">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a> 
</MTArchiveList>

News
<MTArchiveList category="Dojo">
<MTIfNotCategory name="Articles">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a> 
</MTIfNotCategory>
</MTArchiveList>

The first block works ok. In the second block, I want to list posts which are in the category "Dojo" and in the category "Articles". In the third block, those that are in the category "Dojo" and not in the category "Articles".

Anybody have a hint as to which direction I should look into?

Thanks

The category attribute is not valid for MTArchiveList - it's used with MTEntries only.

You could try this:

CODE

Articles
<MTEntries category="Dojo AND Articles">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a> 
</MTEntries>

I see the idea... so what exactly is the point of MTArchiveList? What can you do with it that you can't with MTEntries?
