See this post (and following replies in thread) for a plugin I wrote that lets you assign category templates to posts in that category:

There is also a solution in this thread:

Check out the poster’s website, the template/style is working even on single post views.
I don’t know Kafkaesqui, your plugin (after activated) showed this error on my admin session:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/starnews/public_html/coba/wp-content/plugins/post-templates-by-cat.php:40) in /home/starnews/public_html/coba/wp-admin/admin.php on line 6

@moshu: I believe she (it’s a she right?) is using a different design method than what I’m doing now. I think her site is only manipulating the header with the include function while in my case, I put the whole site into a new design, not just the header.
ozzie123: I recently did some work with a multi-theme WP site. I put code similar to the example below into a plugin. Your theme-switching criteria and template names will be different, so I’ll leave those parts blank.
if ([criteria]) {
add_filter('template','specialTemplate');
add_filter('stylesheet','specialTemplate');
function specialTemplate($template) {
$template = [dirname of template];
return $template;
}
}
I’m assuming that I have to change ‘template’, ‘stylesheet’, and ‘specialTemplate’ right? To what should I suppose to do that? You know, I’m quite a newbie on PHP subject.
However, I do found this single script that works. I got it from http://www.cameraontheroad.com/?p=623 and the script looked like:
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category(‘9’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single9.php’);
elseif ( in_category(’12’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single12.php’);
elseif ( in_category(’42’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single42.php’);
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single1.php’);
}
?>
The problem is, I kept getting this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/starnews/public_html/coba/wp-content/themes/starnews/single.php on line 14
Can anyone help out here?
I figure that I should make a new single.php everytime I wanted to reffer them to a new page. For example, for single.php I would putt:
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category(‘1’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/category-1.php’);
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single1.php’);
}
?>
And when I clicked category2, the script will include single1.php. To ‘redirects’ it to category-2.php, I make this line on single1.php:
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category(‘2) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/category-2.php’);
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single2.php’);
}
?>
And so on. I hope this will help PHP newbies just like me. Cheers
