   <?php
    $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=10&orderby=title');
    foreach ($postslist as $post) :
       setup_postdata($post);
    ?>

   I need the php code beneath"

   <?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   echo $category[0]->cat_ID;
   ?>

   To be inserted in the code above.

   So i can display: get_posts('numberposts=10&category=.......&orderby=title');
   and replace ..... with the cateogry ID number.

   Does anyone understand this?

   How about:

   <?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   $cat_id = $category[0]->cat_ID;
   $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=10&orderby=title&cat=' . $cat_id);
   foreach ($postslist as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>

   Do you mean

   get_posts('numberposts=10&category=' . $category[0]->cat_ID . '&orderby=title');

   Don't you have to use cat for category ids? Or have I missed something?

   What if i want to exclude the current post in the get posts code?

   $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=1000&order=ASC&exclude=....&orderby=date&cat=' . $cat_id);

   In which case ... should be the current post ID.

   The current post ID template tag is; the_ID() I thought.

   I would very much appericiate it when someone could explain how it works, because i dont want to bother you every time..

   Thanks in advance!
