This blog contains my personal musings and rantings along with various fun things I like to create and offer for download.

New Trick to an Old Tip

So I am working on setting up a Sims 2 blog and while kicking around ideas for presenting the content I decided I would use the same archive layout I had chosen for RevHart.

Thing is, I use subcategories and wanted to show that when listing the titles (and entries) in my categories.

Here's the code I used for setting up the archives at RevHart and for the monthly archives on Somnium (the Sims 2 blog). (Thanks Girlie!) After looking at what the manual had to say about category tags I started mashing the two together until they fit.

The end result:
<MTArchiveList lastn="1"> <MTSubCategories> <MTSubCatIsFirst><ul style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; list-style-type:disc; list-style-position:outside;"></MTSubCatIsFirst> <MTIfNonZero tag="MTCategoryCount"> <li style="margin:0 0 0 -20;"><b><MTCategoryLabel></b> <MTEntries sort_order="ascend"><ul><li><MTEntryDate format="%m.%d.%y">: <a href="<MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual">"><MTEntryTitle lower_case=1"></a></li></ul></MTEntries> <MTElse> <li><MTCategoryLabel> </MTElse> </MTIfNonZero> <MTSubCatsRecurse max_depth="1"> </li> <MTSubCatIsLast></ul></MTSubCatIsLast> </MTSubCategories> </MTArchiveList>

For a show of how it displays check out Somnium's category archive page.

Oh, and feel free to read and comment on how my Legacy Challenge is going...
