OK, perhaps I misspoke when I mentioned Category Templates. Here is the full code that I am using to create a page that returns only a single category `<?php
/*
Template Name: Booze
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<?php query_posts('cat=12'); ?>
<?php is_tag(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
<h2 class="pagetitle">Our Latest Alcohol Reviews</h2>
<?php } ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h4 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<small>By <?php the_author_posts_link('namefl'); ?> • <?php the_time('M jS, Y') ?> • Category: <?php the_category(', ') ?></small>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
</div>
<!--<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>-->
<hr />
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>`
The issue I have is that I need to create one of those for every page. What I want to do is take this code <?php query_posts('cat=12'); ?> and instead of Querying cat=12 I want to query cat = page_name somehow and use the page name to pull a category of that same name. That way I only need 1 template for the whole site.
Hopefully that is a better explaination.
