Hi Kiwee
Did you ever manage to get this to work?
I'd like to do exactly the same thing and can't figure it out, other than listing each category individually.
Any solutions?

Did you read the Help for News?...
It has a call for this...

thanks for your help (yet again) Mark!
Yes I have read the help, and re-read it this morning, and I still can't find the call that would do exactly what Kiwee has outlined above.
That is, list all sub-categories within a category, and all the articles within each sub-category.
I must be missing something, probably very obvious. Could you possibly please point me to the relevant code, so even I can't miss it?
thanks
Rachael

It depends on how the categories are set up are they children, can you show how categories are set up?

I have a category in news module called news, with sub categories of yearly archives and within them months, like this:
News
- 2008 Archive
- August 2008
- July 2008
- June 2008
- May 2008
- April 2008
- March 2008
- February 2008
- January 2008
- 2007 Archive
- 2006 Archiveetc
I would like the articles within the month categories to be listed under month sub headings on pages relating to the year. eg
2008 Archive (page header)
August 2008
- article 1 title (link)
article 1 date
- article 2 title (link)
article 2 date
- article 3 title (link)
article 3 date
July 2008
- article 1 title (link)
article 1 date
- article 2 title (link)
article 2 date
- article 3 title (link)
article 3 date
... etc
is this possible using one template?
thanks
Rachael
