   hi

   I'm trying to group my post by category and display them all on the the same page. the code below functions the way I would like, but I would really like it if i didn't have go back and manually add a group each time a new category is created?

   is there any way to get the code below to check for new categories and add a group each time a category is created?

   --what i have figured out so far.--
   

   function test5_loop(){
   echo '<div class="group1">';
   $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=5');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   echo '<div class="TB1">';
   echo get_the_post_thumbnail(NULL, 'thumbnail');
   echo '</div>';
   //echo "group1";
   endwhile;
   echo '</div>';
   
   echo '<div class="group2">';
   $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=bathrooms');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   echo '<div class="TB2">';
   echo get_the_post_thumbnail(NULL, 'thumbnail');
   echo '</div>';
   //echo "group 2";
   endwhile;
   echo '</div>';
   }
   
   add_action('thematic_indexloop', 'test5_loop');

   thanks for the help

   hi everyone,

   With some major guessing :) i figured out.

   <?php
   function test6_loop(){
   $category_ids = get_all_category_ids();
   	foreach($category_ids as $cat_id) {
   	$cat_name = get_cat_name($cat_id);
   	echo $cat_id . ': ' . $cat_name;
   
   	$topic=$cat_name;
   
   echo '<div class="gallery_';
   echo $cat_name;
   echo'">'; 
   
   query_posts('category_name='.$topic.'&posts_per_page=10');
   	while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   		echo '<div class="TB_';
   		echo $cat_name;
   		echo '">';
   
          	the_post_thumbnail();
   
           echo '</div><!--closethumbnail-->';
   
           //the_content();
   	endwhile;
   
   echo '</div><!--closegallery-->';
   }
   }
   
   add_action('thematic_indexloop', 'test6_loop');
   ?>
