devot:eeDevoted to ExpressionEngine

Like the standard Category Archive Tag, but with added control for filtering by entry_id or category, displaying by group_id, and outputting entry_id and url_title.

This is the original, much less full-featured version of my Category Sorted Entries plug-in. The upgraded 2.0 version supports even more parameters, more variables, Custom Channel Fields, and more control over the tags used for the listing. Give it a try!

Category Archive Tag, mo’ better

Once upon a time, I wanted to select all my entries with a particular category from Category Group 1, but I wanted to display them in a nested list that included only categories from Category Group 2. I also needed to display the entry_id alongside the title of the entry. The standard Category Archive Tag was close, but didn’t quite cut it; So, I wrote this plugin…

How it works

The {exp:category_sorted_entries} tag behaves just like EE’s standard Category Archive Tag, but you also get additional filtering and display controls.

Parameters

• All the parameters of the standard Category Archive Tag are available.
• group_id - The category group(s) by which entries will be sorted/displayed.
• entry_id - Entry IDs by which the results will be filtered. (Only entries matching this parameter will be displayed.)
• category - Category IDs by which the results will be filtered. (Only entries assigned to these categories will be displayed.)

Variables

All the variables of the standard Category Archive Tag are available. Additionally, in the {entry_titles} variable pair, the following additional variables can be used:

• {entry_id}
• {url_title}
