Well, your code obviously only gets you replies to blogs, but not to replies. For that you have to build a tree, not just a collection; and in your template you would have to walk that tree to display the results using list tags as you did in your post.

update - something like that to gather data:

sub get_blogs { my ($self, $c, $page) = @_; my $blogs; foreach $blog ( $c->model('YourSpaceDB::Blog')->search( { blog_is_hidden => 0, blog_is_reply => 0, blog_is_draft => 0, }, { rows => 5, page => $page, order_by => 'blog_date DESC' } )->all) { push @$blogs, get_replies($c, $blog, $page); } $blogs; } sub get_replies { my ($c, $blog, $page) = @_; my $replies; my $ret; my $replies = $c->model('YourSpaceDB::Blog')->search( { blog_is_hidden => 0, blog_is_reply => 1, blog_is_draft => 0, blog_is_reply_to => $blog->blog_id, }, { rows => 5, page => $page, order_by => 'blog_date DESC', } ); return [ $blog, 0, undef ] unless $replies; foreach my $reply (@$replies) { push @$ret, get_replies($c, $reply, $page); } [ $blog, scalar (@$replies), $ret ]; }

As I don't know anything about your data model, this is just a guess. The data structure would look like

$blogs = [ # blog list [ # first blog blog, 2, [ # replies structure [ # first reply reply, 0, undef, # no replies ], [ # second reply reply, 1, [ # replies structure [ # first reply reply, 0, undef, # no replies ] ] ], ], ], # end of first blog [ # second blog ... ], ]; # end of blog list

Roughly. The above might be buggy :-)
