But, It's not playing nicely with me. I find that the two loops I have defined in it work fine. But then the normal thematic_category_loop doesn't seem to work. The categories that should run that loop don't seem to run any loop at all. So, it made me wonder, doesn't specifying childtheme_override_category_loop tell the original thematic_category_loop to go use childtheme_override_category_loop instead? Therefore, flying up it's own backside? Maybe it doesn't work that way. But it was the best explanation I could come up with to explain why the code below didn't work. Can you spot anything that looks like it would prevent the thematic_category_loop from working? <pre><code>// remove the standard loop function childtheme_override_category_loop(){ // get the name of the category and store it in the variable $catslug $cat = get_query_var('cat'); $yourcat = get_category ($cat); $catslug = $yourcat->slug; if (is_category('testimonials')){ query_posts('category_name='.$catslug); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <div class="entry-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div> <?php endwhile; endif; } elseif (is_category('menus')) { // loop for the content within the current category, // which has a custom field 'intro_article' which is equal to 1 $handmade_query = new WP_Query('category_name='.$catslug.'&meta_key=intro_article&meta_value=1'); while ($handmade_query->have_posts()) : $handmade_query->the_post(); ?> <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <div class="entry-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?> <?php // now loop to create an unordered list of the other posts in the category // but which have a custom field 'intro_article' which is equal to 0 ?> <ul id="sub-nav-ul"> <?php query_posts('category_name='.$catslug.'&meta_key=intro_article&meta_value=0'); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <li id="sub-nav" class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(70,70));?><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; endif; ?></ul> <?php wp_reset_postdata(); } else { thematic_category_loop(); } }</code></pre> colfelt on "a loop that runs only on one category archive" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/a-loop-that-runs-only-on-one-category-archive#post-26620 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 04:58:26 +0000 colfelt 26620@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Cool beans.

What I've done, is to remove the standard loop within my child-theme's functions.php, then replaced it with my 'special' loop. So far, I have cracked getting that 'special' loop to work nicely. But what I want to do now, is to only run the function which rips out the normal loop when we are on the category archive of a particular category ('menus'). Here's my code: <pre><code>// remove the standard loop function remove_thematic_categoryloop() { remove_action('thematic_categoryloop', 'thematic_category_loop'); } add_action('init', 'remove_thematic_categoryloop'); // get the name of the category and store it in the variable $catslug function add_handmade_intro_categoryloop() { if (is_category( )) { $cat = get_query_var('cat'); $yourcat = get_category ($cat); $catslug = $yourcat->slug; // loop for the content within the current category, // which has a custom field 'intro_article' which is equal to 1 $handmade_query = new WP_Query('category_name='.$catslug.'&meta_key=intro_article&meta_value=1'); while ($handmade_query->have_posts()) : $handmade_query->the_post(); ?> <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <div class="entry-content"><?php the_content(); ?></div> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?> <?php // now loop to create an unordered list of the other posts in the category // but which have a custom field 'intro_article' which is equal to 0 ?> <ul id="sub-nav-ul"> <?php query_posts('category_name='.$catslug.'&meta_key=intro_article&meta_value=0'); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <li id="sub-nav" class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(70,70));?><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; endif; ?></ul> <?php } } add_action('thematic_categoryloop', 'add_handmade_intro_categoryloop');</code></pre> So, I've tried to put in some "if (is_category('menus'))" stuff in before the function, which didn't work... and I have subsequently hit a wall and need some inspiration. I only want to call these functions if the category is 'menus'... Can anybody help me get over this hump? it would save me some hair.

I did a quick search and came across <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More#More_about_.24more">this $more variable in the WordPress Codex</a>. It says: <blockquote>If you set the $more variable to -1, the More tag will not be displayed. This can be useful in a "mullet loop". Like this:</blockquote> <pre><code><?php global $more; $more = -1; //declare and set $more before The Loop ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); //begin The Loop ?> <?php if ($more == -1) { //do not use the more tag on the first one. the_content(); $more = 0; //prevent this from happening again. use the more tag from now on. } else { //use the more tag the_content(__('Read more...')); } ?> <?php endwhile; //end of The Loop ?></code></pre> So literally putting in a <code>global $more; $more = -1;</code> into the thematic_content filter (below) seems to work just fine for me - I often use 'more' tags for my front page posts as they are otherwise set to display in full. <pre><code>function fullpost_cat($content) { if (is_category()) { global $more; $more = -1; //declare and set $more before The Loop $content= 'full';} return $content; } add_filter('thematic_content', 'fullpost_cat');</code></pre> bernd on "Strip "more tag" from category view" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/strip-more-tag-from-category-view#post-9914 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:24:19 +0000 bernd 9914@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ @flick: No, I'm just using the built-in Wordpress function for my sticky posts and style them via .css, here's what I use: .home #content .sticky { background:#e5ecf5; border:4px double #ccc; Now, in all my sticky posts I use the more tag, instead of excerpts, so I can cut off exactly where I want and then insert the more tag.

Apologies. It turns out it's much easier just to filter the 'more...' tag. I assume you're using the default 'excerpts' for your category posts?? If so, I think you can probably use a slight change to <a href="http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/remove-ellipsis-from-excerpt#post-7627">Chris' code for filtering the excerpt</a> in your child theme functions.php: <pre><code>function excerpt_ellipse($text) { if(is_category()){ return str_replace('[...]', '', $text); }else{ return $text; } } add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'excerpt_ellipse');</code></pre> So what this does is say, if it's a category template, replace [...] with nothing. But this shouldn't affect any other default templates that use the excerpt function (including e.g. Tags or Archives templates etc.) Hope this helps. bernd on "Strip "more tag" from category view" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/strip-more-tag-from-category-view#post-9879 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:21:28 +0000 bernd 9879@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Yep, I follow you.
