Full Version: category icon in archives
Do you have any entries in multiple categories? That could be the problem.
Try using this:
I didn't have time right now to try it out myself, so I'll come back later and check to see if it worked for you

I'm glad it worked!!
I had a php thing to do this (and add commas between multiple categories) in my blog, and so I had to think about it because I wasn't using just the easy way for listing categories!!

I'm trying to implement a "category icon" so that depending on what category an entry is, a different icon is displayed - I have large icons for the main journal page and smaller icons for the archive listings - however, on trying to implement this on my main archives page, I've had problems with the category causing the listings to repeat ...
Here's the code I'm using:
And here's the URL with the resulting page:
http://www.desine.net/rambling/archives/
I've tried moving the MTCategories and MTEntries tags around in several other ways, but couldn't get it to display an entry with a single corresponding icon next to it. The closest I got was when I put MTCategories around the <img> tag, but that just repeated all the icons for each entry to the left of each entry.
(Just in case, you need it, the homepage for the journal is at: http://www.desine.net/rambling/ instead of the old Greymatter journal listed in the navigation bar.)
Here's the code I'm using:

Nope, every single entry is attributed to a single category - the way I have categories set up, I don't plan on having any entries span multiple categories
Awesome!! That worked ... Thanks sooooo much I didn't realize that there was a difference between MTCategories and MTEntryCategories ... need to pay more attention to the user manual next time Now back to customizing the templates - still got quite a bit to do
