   Hi!

   I have found a plugin called Category show that I would like to implement in my archive.php page.

   When clicking an archive link in my menu I would like to generate the code for my plugin.

   I guess it's best to add an if-loop to my archive.php page.

   I want something like this:

   If category = 9 then

   My code here for category 9

   elseif category = 212 then

   My code here for category 212

   else

   The usual code that is in archive.php

   end if

   The code in archive.php looks like this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   	<div id="column">
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   	<div class="post_header">
   	<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
   	<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
   	<h1>Arkivet för kategorin ‘<?php single_cat_title(); ?>’</h1>
   	<?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
   	<h1>Inlägg taggade med ‘<?php single_tag_title(); ?>’</h1>
   	<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
   	<h1>Arkivet för <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h1>
   	<?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
   	<h1>Arkivet för <?php the_time('F, Y'); ?></h1>
   	<?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
   	<h1>Arkivet för <?php the_time('Y'); ?></h1>
   	<?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
   	<h1>Författararkiv</h1>
   	<?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>
   	<h1>Arkiv</h1>
   	<?php } ?>
   	</div>
   
   	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<div class="post">
   		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   		<div class="postinfo">
   		<div class="info">Skrivet av <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> on <?php the_time('j F, Y'); ?></div>
   		<div class="commentnum"><?php comments_popup_link('Inga kommentarer än', '1 kommentar', '% kommentarer'); ?></div><div class="clear"></div>
   <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>
   <?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
   		</div>
   		<div class="category">Inlägget tillhör kategori: [ <?php the_category(', '); ?> ]</div>
   		<div class="entry">
   
   		<?php the_excerpt(); ?><div class="clear"></div>
   		<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="more-link">Läs hela inlägget...</a></p>
   
   		</div>
   		<?php the_tags('<div class="tags">Taggar: [ ', ', ', ' ]</div><div class="clear"></div>'); ?>
   	</div>
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   	<!-- Plugin Navigation -->
   	<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>
   	<!-- End -->
   
   	<?php else : ?>
   	<div class="post">
   	<h1>No posts were found.</h1>
   	<p>Sorry! the page you are looking for does not exist.</p>
   	<h3>Blog Search</h3>
   	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/searchform.php"); ?>
   	</div>
   	<?php endif; ?>
   
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <div class="clear"></div>
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Anybody able to help me out?

   To test if the archive being display is that of category 9 you would use is_category(9)

   To test if category 9 is assigned to a post you would use in_category(9).

   See Conditional Tags.
   

   <?php
   if (is_category(9)) {
     echo 'this is a category 9 list of posts';
   } else {
   if (is_category(7)) {
     echo 'this is a category 7 list of posts';
   } else {
     echo 'this is not a category 9 or 7 list of posts';
   }
   ?>

   Thanks for answering!

   I get this message when using your code:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/web79400l/domains/designadinblogg.se/public_html/wp-content/themes/true-elegance/archive.php on line 60

   ... meaning what?

   I got it working with this code:

   <?php
   if (is_category(9)) {
       echo "Category 9";
   } elseif (is_category(7)) {
       echo "Category 7";
   } else {
       echo "Other stuff";
   }
   ?>

   Hopefully I can get it all to work for me now.

   Thanks for the help!

   Hm, I ran into a problem right away.

   The code that I use for the plugin [Category Show] is this:

   %%wpcs-9%%-date%%id%%

   But that wont work in the archive.php file.

   How can I make it work directly in my archive.php file?

   I tagged this thread with the 'wp-catergory-show' tag so the plugin author might see it.

   Sorry for the delay.

   The code for the category show plugin only works on a page post.
