I've got the "Magazine Columns" plugin, and it works fine on pages and on the 'single post' view.

But if you view this post on a custom category (template) page the columns don't work.

twenty ten uses the excerpt in archive pages;
loop.php
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>occures at least twice in the code.

I'm not using excerpt.. I had the code here, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't more than 10 lines.
can you post the full template?
what theme are you using if your theme is not derived from twenty ten?

twenty-ten deriv...
Created a category called 'menu', created a template named 'category-menu.php', this is the full template...
P.S. thanks for your time :)
you are right - i was just too lazy to download the plugin to have a look into the plugin code ;-(
unfortunately for you, it is designed to only work on singular posts or pages;
from the plugin code:
if(stristr($content, '<!--column-->') && is_singular()) {it seems to be restricted that way to allow for the css styling of the columns -
ideally you would get into contact with the plugin author.

Danke :) (nah... not lazy...)
In theory... could I slide in a && "is what I need" or take out the "is_singluar..." ? :-\ (ok, a php programmer I am not).
Just asking because, this plugin had some major bugs that I found on the forum, that someone else fixed, but to the best of my knowledge still has not be updated on WP.

Ok, I swapped out the "is_singular" for "is_archive" and it works on the archive, but then doesn't work on the singular page.
What is the correct code for doing both? :)
if(stristr($content, '<!--column-->') && is_singular()) {
you could try:
if(stristr($content, '<!--column-->') && (is_singular()||is_archive())) {
here is an adaption of the article you linked to, and some other edits to the core plugin file:

Ok, I came back to say... while it DID work, it caused something to go amok with any images that are in the column. It makes them like double the size. And I don't mean "Oh you inserted the image it's full size" - it took the image at its full size and about doubled it (all grainy / fuzzy etc).
I changed my version of the plugin back to '&& is_archive' because that is where I need the functionality.
Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who might find this thread in the future. ;-)
It makes them like double the size.
in connection with the code in http://pastebin.com/neDrdX5Y -
the plugin adds a style for the images (line 111 in the pastebin):
echo " .columns img { width: 98% }\n";(the same output as from the original plugin)
change that to:
echo " .columns img { max-width: 98% }\n";----
however, stay with your approach if it is working for you.
