I´m trying to limit my "genero" archive page to just show future posts, like an event page. So, I used this code: <pre><code>function filter_where( $where ) { if(is_tax('genero')){ $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('0 days')) . "'"; } return $where; } add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' ); function reset_filter_where() { if(is_tax('genero')){ remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' ); } } add_action('thematic_below_archiveloop','reset_filter_where');</code></pre> It works great on the genero´s archive page, but it breaks all the other looping on other pages. I don´t know what is happening. When I say it breaks I mean I get a blank page in another archive page, for exemple! On home, where I have another 2 loops, it shows the page, the header, but the loops are empty. Any help? Thanks!

(and moved to <a href="http://zennkai.com">zennkai.com</a>) Along with the images that are inserted at thematic_abovecontent I am now also using a function to add some social media feeds that show next to the image on the home page and next to the content on the blog page. I played around with using an if statement to only show the block of feeds on the home and blog page but I guess I'm not familiar enough with WPs functions and failed at that so I simply insert them on each page load with display:none in the div's style attribute and override where I want them to actually show. It was done this way mainly because I had the social feeds working on just the home page without issue but I was asked very late into the project to add them to the blog page and I just did not have the time to do it properly at that point. If anybody want's more information or would like to see my ugly code, I would love to share more info :) 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-26695 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:05:13 +0000 colfelt 26695@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Ahh, that old chestnut... helgatheviking 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-26693 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:52:41 +0000 helgatheviking 26693@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ no bacon is very unsatisfactory. always more than 1 way to skin the cat b/c we could probably go back to what you started with <pre><code>function remove_thematic_categoryloop() { remove_action('thematic_categoryloop', 'thematic_category_loop'); } add_action('init', 'remove_thematic_categoryloop'); function kia_categoy_loop(){ if(is_category('bacon')){ //bacon loop here } else { thematic_category_loop(); } add_action('thematic_categoryloop','kia_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-26692 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:26:38 +0000 colfelt 26692@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Ah, yes.

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.
