Yes, but I want to use the category name, not ID.

Yes, I think I’ll have to look into that.
Thanks for all help

Well yes and no, but I guess it is working sort of.
It seems that if I use the auto excerpt while using the Columnizer shortcode the excerpt disappears. But if I manually write the excerpt everything works.

Found the problem!
The WP Columnize plugin causes the excerpt to go away. Wonder why?
If I disable that plugin even the <?php if($post->ID == $this_post_id) echo get_the_excerpt( $post->post_parent ); ?> works.

Oh, of course that doesn’t work then….

Ah, I saw that <?php echo get_the_excerpt( $post->post ); ?> should be <?php echo get_the_excerpt( $post->post_parent ); ?>.

Anyway, no sorry I haven’t got the site online yet.

To illustrate:

POST1, POST2, POST3,
POST4, POST5, POST6

Single POST1

If I click on the permalink for POST1 the excerpt for that post disappears.
I want the excerpt to stay, even if the content of the post is shown below.

Perhaps I could use this?

<?php echo get_the_excerpt( $post->parent ); ?>

I tried:
<?php if($post->ID == $this_post_id) echo get_the_excerpt( $post->parent ); ?>
with no luck

Aw, snap!
If I use the_excerpt for the category list posts and then click on a single post, the_excerpt in the list post disappears, and only the_content of the single post is visible.

Suggestions?

Fixed it!

Hey, thanks!

How do I add this bit of code to yours?

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php if ($count%3== 0) : ?>

// third post content

<?php else : ?>

// regular content

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I need it in order to add a hr after the first 3 posts.

Duh!
Just add border-right css to post 1 and 2.

Solved the bottom border thing with this bit of code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php if ($count%3== 0) : ?>

// make with the usual article content
//and do something under every third post

<?php else : ?>

// make with the usual article content

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Now it’s just the left and right borders….

I found the problem.
Apparently WP 2.8 doesn’t support the “Page Template Extended” plugin.

That’s strange. It doesn’t appear my version.
? have 1.1.5.

If I click on “edit”, the only thing I can edit is the menu items.
If I click on the title the same thing happens.

Just to clearify, I’m talking about the Menu title not the Link name of the menu item.

Very nice.

How about adding a feature so that I can change menu title?
Still no progress?
