Hello Glen,
I found JIRA issue [1] regarding what I was talking in this thread. If
we are not working on this enhancement, then we can also close that will
some comments on this issue. Or if you found this can be a improvement
then I can work on this after ROL-1981.
[1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1252
Thanks
Gaurav

Hello Glen,
Actually, if we can have relations between categories and blog entries
then we can easily get the entries and also we can add a ordering
column in this for ordering the blog entries in a sensible manner. I
am not known about the JPA persistence rules for performance, will
this have any performance issues. But this might be a good add to
roller if we can order the blogs and categories also (I have seen your
mail thread regarding the ordering of categories).
Thanks

Are you sure that a macro is going to help you? Even if it were
already available, wouldn't you still want to order the entries under
each category in a sensible fashion? From my own experience
(http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/entry/blog_article_index) -- I would
still want a manual ordering of the blog entries, because there's
little correlation between dates and topics, even under the same
category--look at links 12-13-14, 15-16, 18-19--they make sense to go
together, even though they may have been written months apart with
several other blog articles chronologically between them.
That all said, you may not find a smooth solution (i.e., one avoiding
heavy iterations) because of the JPA persistence rules, for
performance/synchonization, whatever, we don't store relations
between categories and blog entries, but primarily just between blogs
and blog entries.

Hello,
I am waiting for some reply on this topic ? Is this thing already
available in Roller or we have to write a new macro for this ?
Thanks

Hello,
Is there any way for this getting blog list from corresponding
category ? Waiting for some solution to this, although I have done
this in velocity with some conditions, but its very heavy as too many
iterations will be there.
Below code will give the entry from that category and different
unordered list will be print for each category. I think we can include
this macro in roller, where we can pass the category and get
respective blogs from that category.
Code:
#foreach($cat in $cats)
<ul>
#foreach( $entry in $entries )
#if($entry.category.name == $cat.name )
<li><a
href="$url.entry($entry.anchor)">$entry.title</a></li>
#end
#end
</ul>
#end
Thanks

Hello,
I am working on template, in which I want the main blog page to show
all categories and their corresponding blogs. I am able to get the
category list but did not understand how, I can get the corresponding
blogs list.
There is a macro #showWeblogEntryLinksList($entries) which gives the
entriesList but did not have any paramater catagory so we can put the
category and get the blog entry list according to category.
Thanks
Gaurav
