According to me you should use the following:



Hope this is the right answer...

I have a photolog that is structured by categories.  I use a subcategory (Thumbnails) to pull one photo from each grouping to appear on an index page.

The code that generates my index template is:



I'm trying to include a entry count for each category on this page, so the title block might say "San Francisco 2001 [34]", where 34 represents the number of piuctures in the category San Francisco.

I tried replacing the <$MTEntryMore$> tag with <$MTEntryMore$> [<$MTBlogEntryCount$>] and I get "San Francisco 2001 [284]" (the total count for all the photos in all categories.

I tried replacing the <$MTEntryMore$> tag with <$MTEntryMore$> [<$MTArchiveCount$>] and I get "San Francisco 2001 [0]".

I tried replacing the <$MTEntryMore$> tag with <$MTEntryMore$> [<$MTCategoryCount$>] and I get "San Francisco 2001 [34151567101230496611210]" (each category seperated).

Any ideas?  This is (or in my mind, should be) such a trivial matter, but it's really throwing me.

Maybe I'm incorrect in thinking about the implementation, but doesn't this break the category structure?  Maybe I didn't fully explain the setup I have.

For a standard entry in my photolog, I enter the photo_id (ex. DSCN1008) for my EntryTitle and a brief description of the photo for my EntryBody.

In each category, I choose one picture that I think is a good representation of the set (grouped by category) and give it a subcategory (Thumbnails).  The sub-entry has an additional title in the MTEntryMore field and an additional description (this was started before the <$MTCategoryDescription$> tag) in the MTEntryExcerpt field.

The index template I posted before gives the output found at:

When I tried to create an archive template like you suggested, I got an output that wasn't quite what I was looking for.  It returned this:


How could I use the code you suggested and still capture the information from one particular entry?  Could they be ordered so the most recently entered category is at the top?  Can I exclude the category Thumbnails from the listing?

Thanks for your help.
