Display differently the posts which are in certain category in recent posts

  • Hi

    I have a little problem with recent post listing. I think it should not be difficult but strangely I’m not capable of figuring it out.

    In my recent posts displaying column, I want to display the posts which are in certain category (category id: 237) differently. More specifically, in my recent posts listings, there are only the titles and their permalinks. But for the posts which are in the mentioned category, I also want to add the author name. But especially the ‘in category’ tag doesn’t accept ‘the_author’ code.

    Let me give you my recent posts listing codes:

    <div id="habermerk">
<ul>
<?php query_posts("order=DESC&showposts=30"); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>

    So in your opinion, how can I do it?

    Thanx a lot…

  • Inside the loop:
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    You could do something like this to find the category and then do something differently:

    <?php if ( in_category('237') ) { ?>
       <div class="post-cat-237">
<?php } else { ?>
       <div class="post">
<?php } ?>

    You should also check out this method if all you’re needing to do is style it differently. You can do the same sort of thing to give it a different class that you’re able to grab a hold of.
