Which indexes do you want URLs for?  If its the Main Index one, its
If you are using archive filenames, then you can use the path that you are using in the blog config for the archive filename like (that's mine for my daily archives)

So I'm still not clear if that was enough to help you, but that's a start

So your idea was to have a link that linked to a certain index template automatically, depending on which page you were on?  There's not a tag that does that.  You could point to a specific index template  by using MTBlogUrl/filename.html or something like that, but that doesn't sound like what you are looking for.

I think category archives might be a better bet for you, depending on how you have these templates set up.  

Best of luck,

Situation:
I have MT generate various (category based) indexes _and_ I make good use of the template modules. (You can have a peek at fragment.nl/resources)

Problem:
I need the complete URL of each index and I need to generate that URL dynamically, because: a) I need to use it from the footer-module, b) the footer-module is incorporated in the various indexes generated, so c) I can't hard-code it into the footer-module.

In short, how do I get the full URL of an index from MT?

I'm probably missing something quite obvious here, so please enlighten me  TIA

Okay, I figured this one was going to be confusing. Let me try to explain:

I don't have a main index. I use MT in this instance as a simple cms which holds a lot of (mostly) bibliographic data, which is being output by category. In this setup I have no use for a chronological 'main index' page.

So I have several 'index pages' which display the output for the 'bibliography', the 'online articles', etc. categories.

These pages to my best knowledge are not archives, neither do I want to link to individual archived entries.

I want to be able to link to the 'bibliography' index, the 'online articles' index, etc.


Hmm... I'm thinking a possibility is not to use several indexes, but set up category-archives instead. Then I can use: MTArchiveLink category="category_name" to link to that index.

Is that the only option here, or again, am I missing something crucially obvious?

Frank.

Exactly.



Right, because then I'd have to make that link static again, setting the 'filename.html' part by hand.



I haven't set them up really, but I will. They're going to be 90 percent the same as the indexes I made the templates for, so not a big deal.

Thanks for the help Kristine
