    how to group nodes sith same date

    Hello,

    my first post here, hope you don't mind...

    I implemented a very basic news section on a client's website and created a landing page with a simple macro that lists all the headlines.
    Now he's asking me to put different headers to separate posts from the same year.
    Like this:

    2011
    - post1
    - post2
    - post3

    2010
    - post4
    - post5

    2009
    ...

    How can I use xslt to automatically create the headers?
    That's how I would get the date:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(data[@alias='Date'], 'yyyy')"/>

    What I don't know is how to show it only before the first post from the same year...
    I initially thought of manually create different directories on Umbraco for each year... that would be easy, but would also mean I'd need to manually update it next year, which I don't want to do.

    Any ideas?
    Please let me know if you wish more details

    thanks,
    Matteo

    Hi Matteo,

    You may wish to look at the date folders package http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/datefolders to automatically put the posts in folders for each year.

    This forum topic may also be of interest: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/collaboration/blog-4-umbraco/using-blog-4-umbraco/16917-Change-Date-Folder-Assignment

    Hope that helps
