Thanks for the great plug-in.

with
if ( !is_category() || is_404() || is_feed() ) return; // we only care about category views

otherwise it prevents category rss feeds from working correctly.

Any suggestions on how to get it to function the same way using TAGS?

Thanks again,

Jim

however, what of the case where a post belongs to multiple categories?

the question of where and how page template transforms should be decided – we can only say ‘it is decided in context’ or by use-case.

in all cases however we can retain the concept of ‘current category’ – logically we should have a ‘view post in categories…’ view selector on each post; to be complete, also an ‘edit post in category view’ for authors.

‘current category’ could be set up as a stack of nested ‘category_event’ loops.

this plug-in here might help http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/2005/10/27/highlight-current-category/

but i think we might really need something like a push_current_category, and pop_current_category to allow developer to effectively code-up the user experience.

anyone know of anything?

After spending a long time to bifurcate my site’s look and feel into 2 category templates, I was so disappointed to find out that single posts didn’t retain their category template. One would think that WordPress post links within Archives would automatically call-up a specific category template if one had been setup. I’m not a big fan of plugins either . . . but this really solved the problem.

Thanks again, Mark. I just made a small donation.

` foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
if ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . “/category-” . $category->cat_ID . ‘.php’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . “/category-” . $category->cat_ID . ‘.php’);
exit; }
elseif ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . “/category-” . $category->category_parent . ‘.php’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . “/category-” . $category->category_parent . ‘.php’);
exit; }
}`

Once again, accept my good wishes

I just want to modify categoryX template.
