   Hey,

   I'm a student developer, but not much into php tho ;)
   I'm trying to set up a wordpress with portfolio for myself, but I ran into some problem;

   I'm using a portfolio template as extent to a "Page" called portfolio.
   So far that template uses
   query_posts("category_name=Portfolio&posts_per_page=6&paged=$paged");
   which worked out good enough so far. However, I wanted to add subcategories to the portfolio. Lets say they are called Java and PHP...

   well, at the moment if I extent those pages to the portfolio template, only the posts in the Portfolio category are shown, and not the ones in the "portfolio - JAVA" category.

   Can I somehow change that template so it does something like

   query_posts("category_name=" & super.pagename & "&posts_per_page=6&paged=$paged");
   (I know above variable is BS, but thats just an example)

   hope I explained what I want to do good enough for you to understand...

   Thanks in advance for the help

   nice idea, this might work:

   $pagename = $post->post_title;
   query_posts("category_name=$pagename&posts_per_page=6&paged=$paged");

   Thanks, that worked perfect :)

   at first I thought it wasn't, but apparently query_posts() works by using the category slug... after tweaking the slugs, it does work =D

   many thanks
