categories.template showing article names

[noidpro]

Hi everyone,
I would like to have a categories.template page to link to that not only shows the number of articles per category, but also a nice list with the name of each article.
I guess I need to put a foreach inside a foreach, but I have no other idea on how to do that. Could you help me with the code?

this is what i'm using at the moment, just copied and pasted from another template...

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$articlecategories item=articleCategory}
<a href="{$url->categoryLink($articleCategory)}">{$articleCategory->getName()}</a> [{$articleCategory->getNumArticles()}]<br/>
{/foreach}


thanks a lot for lifetype, even I can use it!

You'll need a plugin to be able to grab all of the articles for all time - the default templates only have the last 10 articles available to them. You might be able to do some crazy hack thing with setting your "show X most recent articles" to 1000 or something, but even if that works, it'll probably do bad things for performance. (and there is also a max recent articles in the administration settings, in addition to the blog specific setting in the control center).

See this plugin I wrote a while ago, but never checked in:
