I am using tags as a secondary way to sort entries (category is the primary way) and I want to produce a list like this:

tag name
- entry
- entry

tag name
- entry

tag name
- entry
- entry
etc

i had thought i could do something like

CODE

    <mt:Tags>
            <h3><mt:tagname></h3>
                <ul class="bulletless">
                <mt:entries>
                <li><MTentrydatalocation>, <a href="<mt:entrypermalink>"><mt:entrytitle></a>, <mt:entrycategories><mt:entrycategory glue=", "></mt:entrycategories>, <mt:entrydate format="%Y"></li>
                </mt:entries></ul>
            </mt:Tags>

but this doesn't work. is what i am trying to achieve possible?

Hi there,
You just need to tell MT that you want the entries just for the tag you're referring to. Enter the variable:

CODE

<mt:Tags>
   <mt:tagname>
   <MTSetVarBlock name="tag"><mt:tagname></MTSetVarBlock>
    <ul>
       <mt:entries tag="$tag"> 
          <li><mt:entrytitle></li>
       </mt:entries>
    </ul>
</mt:Tags>

       </mt:entries>
    </ul>
</mt:Tags>

Thank you for this piece of code. But how would I go about limiting the list to just one tag, for example "favourites". I've tried everything and still can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So what is happening if you do this?

CODE

<mt:Tags>
   <mt:tagname>
   <MTSetVarBlock name="favourites"><mt:tagname></MTSetVarBlock>
    <ul>
       <mt:entries tag="$tag"> 
          <li><mt:entrytitle></li>
       </mt:entries>
    </ul>
</mt:Tags>

could you post a link to the output?
