   Hi, im using the following to create a kind of time table, bascially i have a custom write panel, with a group 'When' cotaining a time slot am or pm, a site (site 1 or site 2) and the day on whcih the course is held.
   At the moment I have this loop repeated for each day, was just wondering if thyer is way of cleaning it up a bit so as to not have it 7 time on the template.

   <h3>Tuesday</h3>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   	<?php $myEvent = get_group('When'); // use the Custom Group name
   	  foreach($myEvent as $event){ ?>
   				<?php if($event['whichDays'][1] == 'Tues') { ?>
   										<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> | <?php echo $event['site'][1] ?></p>
   				<?php } ?>
   	<?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <br />

   I can't see enough of the code to answer. Is there another while loop for each day? Do you reset the query between days?

   Perhaps something like this would work:

   $daynames = array('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday');
   $dayabbrevs = array('Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun');
   foreach ($daynames as $day) {
      echo "<h3>$day</h3>";
      // Rest of code for this day
   }

   Hi yes theres a differnet loop for each day, eg heres mon, tues, weds
   

   <h3>
     <?php the_title(); ?>
   </h3>
   <br />
   <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   <br />
   <?php query_posts('cat=' . $shellCourse  ."&showposts=25&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=site&order=ASC"); ?>
   <h3>Monday</h3>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php $myEvent = get_group('When'); // use the Custom Group name
   	  foreach($myEvent as $event){ ?>
   <?php if($event['whichDays'][1] == 'Mon') { ?>
   <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
     <?php the_title(); ?>
     </a> | <?php echo $event['site'][1] ?></p>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <br />
   <h3>Tuesday</h3>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php $myEvent = get_group('When'); // use the Custom Group name
   	  foreach($myEvent as $event){ ?>
   <?php if($event['whichDays'][1] == 'Tues') { ?>
   <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
     <?php the_title(); ?>
     </a> | <?php echo $event['site'][1] ?></p>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <br />
   <h3>Wednesday</h3>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php $myEvent = get_group('When'); // use the Custom Group name
   	  foreach($myEvent as $event){ ?>
   <?php if($event['whichDays'][1] == 'Weds') { ?>
   <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
     <?php the_title(); ?>
     </a> | <?php echo $event['site'][1] ?></p>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <br />

   this works, just wanted to maybe streamline it a bit, the h3 heading is hard coded

   I don't have a way to test this, but it should be close:

   <?php $daynames = array('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday');
   $dayabbrevs = array('Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun');
   $daycount = 0;
   foreach ($daynames as $day) { ?>
      <?php query_posts('cat=' . $shellCourse  ."&showposts=25&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=site&order=ASC");?>
      <?php echo "<h3>$day</h3>"; ?>
      <?php while (have_posts()) :
          the_post(); ?>
         <?php
         $myEvent = get_group('When'); // use the Custom Group name
         if ($myEvent) {
            foreach($myEvent as $event){ ?>
               <?php if($event['whichDays'][1] == $dayabbrevs[$daycount]) { ?>
                  <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
                  <?php the_title(); ?>
                  </a> | <?php echo $event['site'][1] ?></p>
               <?php } ?>
            <?php } ?>
         <?php } ?>
      <?php endwhile; ?>
      <br />
      <?php ++$daycount;
   } ?>

   fantastic, many thanks.
   I'll give a go when i get a moment and let you know what happened.
   Either way you've pointed me in the right direction anyway...
