Hi guys, I just started using Movable Type and I think it’s a really wonderful tool. My website is at http://davidandrewwiebe.com/ and I’ve been experimenting, trying to get things to appear how I want them to, and I’ve been realizing that it’s still going to take a fair bit of manipulation.
I apologize if my question is a little too obvious, but as I said, I’m new to the program and I want to pick up some more knowledge before I consider migrating all of my other sites over.
When you click on a category, I would like it to display the title links (and maybe the date) to all the posts in that category instead of the full text of recent posts. How would I go about doing this?
I have several other questions, but as they do not pertain to categories I will hold off on them. Thanks in advance for your help.

You'll need to edit the Category Entry Listing template. Swap out
for something like
CODE
<mt:Entries limit="$limit">
<mt:Ignore><!-- Use the Entry Summary module for each entry published on this page --></mt:Ignore>
<$mt:Include module="Entry Summary"$>
</mt:Entries>
<mt:Ignore><!-- Use the Entry Summary module for each entry published on this page --></mt:Ignore>
<$mt:Include module="Entry Summary"$>
</mt:Entries>
for something like
CODE
<ul>
<mt:Entries limit="$limit">
<li><a href="<mt:EntryPermalink>"><mt:EntryTitle></a></li>
</mt:Entries>
</ul>
<mt:Entries limit="$limit">
<li><a href="<mt:EntryPermalink>"><mt:EntryTitle></a></li>
</mt:Entries>
</ul>

Thanks, that did the trick!
