I think he is looking, like me, for additional style based on tags. In other words, like asides, one could have additional styles for other tags like, say “quotes” in large type etc…

Hmmm…10 months ago. Darn. I would love to hear more about this as well if anyone has any ideas.

What would be the method for adding additional specially formatted posts in the same manner as and in addition to Matt’ Asides?

Huzzah!

Thanks, moshu (and indirectly, ObertonGluek) for all your help.

For the title of the page (from the loop):

<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
'<?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>' Category Archive

where <?php echo single_cat_title(); ?> is the name of the category and everything else, before or after, on the same line makes up the rest of the title of the page.

For showing full posts (including images) in the archive page (and also from the loop):

<?php if (is_archive() or is_search()) {
the_content();
} else {
the_content("Continue reading '" . the_title('', '', false) . "'");
} ?>

The second instance of the_content was formerly the_excerpt

Thanks!

I will check that out. I am sure I will be back with more questions.

I am also looking through Category Templates

Must join the “real world” now. I’ll be back…

Thanks for the link. Researching…researching…

It seems to be saying that I have no choice but to live with excerpted content?

Since the tag has no parameters (i.e. “yes” or “no“) I cannot “boss it around” to get it to show all the images associated with a post?

Also, I see that I get none of the images associated with the original posts on this page. ?

Hmmmmm…

Here is what I have that is giving me the page with title:

Archive for the ‘video’ Category

<?php
/*
Template Name: cat-page--from-index-video-cat.php
*/
?>
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("paged=$paged&category_name=video");
load_template( TEMPLATEPATH . '/index.php'); //loads index
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="content">

<div class="primary">

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/theloop.php'); ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I cannot see what is displaying it’s title.Any ideas? Should I be looking in the original index.php file?

ObertonGluek:

I, on the other hand, do not know PHP from the IRS =-)

Slight exaggeration but, really, I am truly a noob so I was wondering if you would be willing to share the code for your moviereviews.php file.

I also followed moshu’s post and have a “Videos Category” page set up of which I would like to change the title.
