query_post only works in index

  • Hi, I am trying to use query_posts from withing a page template…it doesnt work.

    Just for tests I have copied the code from the index page which words and pasted on the template page and it didnt work.. this is what I have in my page template

    <?php query_posts($query_string."&cat=12&showposts=2");?>

    nothing shows up at all. It only works if I remove the $query_string variable, but then the Previous and Next links dont work.

    I have read over and over forum questions and they all say to use the query_post as it is on the top…and i use it on the index page, but it wont work on a template page or a category page

    I found out the problem to my own post above and I solved it but it’s not in a clean way, I am sure there is a better way to do this…if you know, please let me know.

    The problem was in the $query_string as I figured. Because I am querying a category inside a page If add the query string to the query_posts it will pass the pagename value and that causes it to crash. so I did a str_replace and removed that key and value from the string and left only the paged key and value.

    It works for now
