I have written a layout override for the section blog layout. The layout show echo the section's categories and for each category it should show the intro text of the first two articles and links to the rest.
The problem is that currently it shows me two intros of articles from the section according to some sort of internal indexing (not according to article id)
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
$rlu = array();
foreach ($this->items as $i => $item) :
if (!isset($rlu[$item->catid])) :
$rlu[$item->catid] = array();
endif;
$rlu[$item->catid][] = &$this->items[$i];
endforeach;
?>
<?php if ($this->params->get('show_page_title', 1)) : /*page title */?>
<h1 class="componentheading<?php echo $this->params->get('pageclass_sfx');?>">
<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?>
</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="contentdescription<?php echo $this->params->get( 'pageclass_sfx' ); /*section description*/ ?>">
<?php if ($this->params->get('show_description') && $this->section->description) : ?>
<?php echo $this->section->description; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php $cat = $this->categories[0]->id;?>
<?php foreach ($this->categories as $category) : /*start echoing the categories */ ?>
<?php if ($category->id != $cat) {$cat=$category->id; echo "</div>";} ?>
<div class="category<?= $cat ?>">
<h2><?php echo $category->title;?></h2>
<?php if ($category->description) : ?>
<?php echo $category->description; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (!empty($rlu[$category->id])) : ?>
<ul>
<?php $i=0; ?>
<?php foreach ($rlu[$category->id] as $article) : /*drill down to category */ ?>
<?php if ($i<2) {$this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params); echo $this->loadTemplate('item'); $i++;} else { /*first two articles*/ ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($article->slug, $article->catslug, $article->sectionid)); ?>">
<?php echo $article->title; ?></a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
