I've got the application logic all right, and even built an installable package. But what bugs me is that on a fresh RC3 installation with sample content loaded, some categories just plain refuse to display themselves with a blog layout (courtesy of attaching a "layout=blog" to the url) but if I create a menu entry for a blog view of that same category, it works. I'm studying the new com_content for a clue. I'll be uploading the code to Joomlacode the day after tomorrow, as tomorrow is SAT day.Create a Joomla! 1.5 module listing all of the items in a given category
