Hi Dave, reading your 2009 writeup on the Fauxcoly theme (
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/more_about_the_theme) -- you list
4 standard actions besides custom: weblog, permalink, search, tagsindex,
and have constructed Fauxcoly to be able to demonstrate each of those 4.
Question: why don't we have a standard action to display entries belonging
to a certain category? Is it because categories can be listed in a more
traditional way or you just didn't have time to get to it when creating
Fauxcoly? I put in JIRA items 2021 and 2022 to add categories to gaurav
and fauxcoly, I don't know if to get it done properly we could or should
create a new action for it or if that would be redundant.
Because the category view is provided by the Weblog action. The "pagers"
and paging controls know about categories so a category view is easy to
achieve within a weblog action template.
Sometimes introducing a new action can result in simpler code within each
weblog template (eliminating some if-then logic) but somethings adding a
new action just means more duplication of template code, and another
"action" for users to understand.
