Here is the code: <?php /* Template Name: Signup Template */ include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/index.php' ); //this loads the thematic parent framework index.php ?> <?php global $options; foreach ($options as $value) { if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] ); } } ?> <?php get_header() ?> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <?php thematic_navigation_above();?> <?php get_sidebar('index-top') ?> <?php thematic_above_indexloop() ?> <?php thematic_indexloop() ?> <?php function childtheme_second_loop() { if (is_page(sign-up)) { query_posts("cat_ID=3&showposts=3"); thematic_index_loop(); } else { return; } } add_action('thematic_below_indexloop', 'childtheme_second_loop' ); ?> <?php thematic_below_indexloop() ?> <?php get_sidebar('index-bottom') ?> <?php thematic_navigation_below();?> </div> </div> <?php thematic_sidebar() ?> <?php get_footer() ?> What happens is the posts show up outside the wrapper below the page. Any ideas?

Thanks Ian and Chris and others! My question is probably very simple to answer: How do I make a category template? Say for cat_ID=3? I would like to put div's in and configure with css.

Inside of the WordPress core file “comment-template.php” is one line that says <code>if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) )</code> (which disables the display of comments if one is not viewing a single post or a page). So all I had to do was to add an override of that variable to my category template: <code><?php $withcomments = 1 ?></code> — and comments got pulled in. Here is my working category template with comments: <pre><code><?php /* Template Name: Category with Comments */ ?> <?php global $options; foreach ($options as $value) { if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] ); } } ?> <?php get_header() ?> <?php $withcomments = 1 //This one displays comments even if we are in category view ?> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <?php the_post(); ?> <?php thematic_navigation_above();?> <?php thematic_singlepost() ?> <?php thematic_navigation_below();?> <?php thematic_comments_template(); ?> </div> </div> <?php thematic_sidebar() ?> <?php get_footer() ?></code></pre> Man, kinda cool to figure something out on your own. :D Manuel on "Make a category template display post AND comments" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/make-a-category-template-display-post-and-comments#post-7273 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:53:42 +0000 Manuel 7273@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I’ve created a new category template (named category-15.php) and put it in my childtheme directory. I thought the easiest way to make it act like single.php (so it displays the post and the comments) is to just copy the code from single.php, but that is not working, in fact, it changes nothing. I need this because in this sites navigation pages are considered as “core information links” and the categories just as extras which contain no important stuff about the business. This one specific category I am talking about here contains only one post, called “The Guestbook”. After clicking the category link in the nav — which is named just like the post — one should see the post with all the comments as well. This is the code content of category-15.php <pre><code><?php /* Template Name: Guestbook Template */ ?> <?php global $options; foreach ($options as $value) { if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] ); } } ?> <?php get_header() ?> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <?php the_post(); ?> <?php thematic_navigation_above();?> <?php get_sidebar('single-top') ?> <?php thematic_singlepost() ?> <?php get_sidebar('single-insert') ?> <?php thematic_navigation_below();?> <?php thematic_comments_template(); ?> <?php get_sidebar('single-bottom') ?> </div> </div> <?php thematic_sidebar() ?> <?php get_footer() ?></code></pre>
