Is there a way to create category specific individual archive pages?
dotpitch
Another question that resembles the one I posted a few days ago under "Template Problems":

Link to that post

but I think I should have placed it here.

So I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm working at it (thinking very hard huh.gif ) and perhaps with a few more tips and tricks....

Can you please describe what you mean by "category specific individual archive pages". smile.gif

Are you wanting to have a different format for an entry depending on it's category? Is this something that can be done with a category specific stylesheet?

Here a couple of threads I found by searching the forum:

I was talking about filtering categories in my archive page.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Reposting information from dotpitch:

O, and Adam, I think what you want is the supplementalCategories plugin:

For easy addition of next/prev in Category Archives. 1.3 Adds MTIfCategory and MTIfPrimaryCategory tags. 1.4 adds MTEntryAdditionalCategories, which lists all additional (not primary) categories.


Look here!

Do the suggestions help with what you want to do? Because I'm still not clear on what it is you want to achieve. Can you please be a little more specific about what it is you want to achieve? What do you mean by "filtering"? A hypothetical might help. smile.gif

Do you mean display different things dependent on catagory? Do you mean only showing certain categories in a listing on an individual page? Do you mean only having individual pages for certain categories? huh.gif
