awesome!

Solved. To get the categories of a custom post type you have call get_the_terms() and setup the registered category name like this:

<?php
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'myposttype_category' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
  echo $term->name;
}
?>

Hey keesiemeijer,

thanks for your reply. Thats much better than my first try. Here is my current code:

<?php
function shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {

	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
				'customClass' => '',
				'customColor' => '',
			), $atts ) );

	if ( $customClass || $customColor ) {

		// rewrite class
		$class = 'myClass';
		$class .= ( $customClass ) ? ' customClass_' . $customClass : '';

		// add styling
		$style  = ( $customColor ) ? ' style="color:' . $customColor . '"' : '';

		// join strings
		$output = '<div class="' . $class . '"'. $style .'>' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div>';

	} else {
		$output = '<div class="myClass">' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div>';
	}

	return $output;
}
?>

Thank you very much,
Christian

<!-- get pagetitle -->
	<?php $page_title = $wp_query->post->post_title; ?>
	<?php echo ($page_title) ?>

	<!-- if pagename is X - blog loop -->
	<?php if ($page_title == 'sasadda'){

		$temp = $wp_query;
		$wp_query= null;
		$wp_query = new WP_Query();
		$wp_query->query('posts_per_page=7'.'&paged='.$paged);
		while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();?>

		<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
		<?php the_content(); ?>
		<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '' . __( 'Pages:', 'boilerplate' ), 'after' => '' ) ); ?>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'boilerplate' ), '', '' ); ?>

		<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

		<?php endwhile;

		$wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp;

	}
	?>

I fixed it with a simple statement in the main loop, but is there a more elegant/dynamic way to use this in a page template?

thanks
