    Group by Category

    Hi,

    I am working on UBlogsy from last 3 days.I am facing one issue.Is it possible to group posts according to category on home page.

    For example following are the post:

    Post                      category

    test1                      category1

    test2                      category1

    test3                      category2

     

    Now i wanna show :

    Categories: Category1

    test1

    test2

    Categories: Category2

    test3

    So can we group post?

     

    Thanks

    Anuj

    You can do anything...

    Take a look at the uBlogsyListCategories.cshtml

    This will show you how to get all the categories.

     

    In uBlogsyListPosts.cshtml (or a copy of that file), once you have the categories you can get posts by category 

    foreach (var category in categories){

    var posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(Model.Id, string.Empty, category,  string.Empty ,  string.Empty ,  string.Empty , 0, ITEMS_PER_PAGE);

    // insert your markup here

    }

    else
        { 
          
             
            // get tag, category, or author from query string
            var tag = Request.QueryString["tag"];
            var category = Request.QueryString["category"];
            var author = Request.QueryString["author"];
            var searchTerm = Request.QueryString["search"];
            var commenter = Request.QueryString["commenter"];
            int page = int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["page"], out page) ? page : 1;

    }

     Its showing empty  category.

    The code you're looking at is for getting the category from the query string.

     

    Don't you just want to list all the categories and posts with that category?

    Take a look at the uBlogsyListCategories.cshtml

    There is a for loop which lists categories. 

    For each of those categories, instead of rendering the category, you want to use this:

    foreach (var category in categories){

      var posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(Model.Id, string.Empty, category,  string.Empty ,  string.Empty ,  string.Empty , 0, ITEMS_PER_PAGE);

      // insert your markup here

    }

     

    But you want all of this either in uBlogsyListPosts, or in another cshtml file. eg uBlogsyListPostsByCategory

    There's a few ways that comes to mind

    Here's the first 

    var posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(Model.Id, string.Empty, string.Empty,  string.Empty ,  string.Empty ,  string.Empty , 0, 1);

    var post = posts.FirstOrDefault();
