Re: Display subcategory entries when parent category is selected.

[Jennifer Oxelson <ox...@unidata.ucar.edu>]

Here is a way to do this (it may be a bit of a hack, but it works):

In your weblog.vm file, you will want to modify the $entries that gets 
sent to the _day page to be conditional upon if a category is being 
displayed:

        #set($pager = $model.getWeblogEntriesPager())
        #set($dayPage = $model.weblog.getPageByName("_day"))
       
        #if($model.weblogCategory)
            #set($entries = 
$model.weblogCategory.retrieveWeblogEntries(true)) 
            <h2>Entries for: $model.weblogCategory.name</h2>
            #parse($dayPage.id)
        #else
            #set($map = $pager.getEntries())
            #foreach($day in $map.keySet())
                #set($entries = $map.get($day))  
                #parse($dayPage.id)
            #end
        #end

Also, be sure to assign $day to the entry date in _day if you reference 
it anywhere.

Hope this helps...
