How do I create an archive type page for a separate category?
Hi, I would like to replicate what happens when I click on ‘Articles’ so it shows the index like page. I created a new section called ‘reviews’ and would like for it to show like an index when you click on it instead of the last post made in ‘reviews’. I am guessing that I need to make a new form but not to sure what I need to do for it to work.
Thanks in advance.

babbish, do a quick read of How are sections and categories different?. I know it seems like categories and sections can be used interchangeably, but they are very different things.
If you look closely at http://blog.babbish.com/reviews/ and http://blog.babbish.com/reviews/7/razer-onza-review, they are actual displaying different things (look at the posting date). There seems to be an issue with your template for the reviews section. Did you copy and paste the one from archives?

Re: How do I create an archive type page for a separate category?
When I created the template, I just used the way thats built in and it is using the default pages, what is making the times different? I hadn’t noticed that until you pointed it out.
Before I posted this I went back and had a second look and instead of using the default page I chose archive which makes it show how I wanted.
Was this also causing the time issue? I don’t remember copying and pasting anything when making the reviews section.

Do you know what would make the times different? This doesn’t make sense to me, can you tell me where the code for time resides?

<p class="published"><txp:posted /></p>You can find this in the default article form. I really shouldn’t have mentioned it though because that is controlled by Preferences | Publish | Date Format rather than the actual code in the template (sorry, I hadn’t looked at the default templates in a while).
