Querying Single.php Pages? Query/Design Problems.

    Hello,

    I’m trying to achieve a seperate Single page for 3 categories (Graphic Design, Website Design & Blog), I managed to track down the code I need and arranged the files as required. However for some reason I’m have two problems.

    One: When I use the code bellow in the single.php file to query two Single Pages it messes up the CSS of the single page it leads you to i.e. http://dev.mrleesimpson.co.uk/2008/04/test-post-image/

    <?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('3') ) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_graphic.php');
} else {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_blog.php');
}
?>

    Two: When I try to use the code bellow in the single.php file, to query 3 different Single Pages it won’t work at all.

    <?php
  $post = $wp_query- >post;

  if ( in_category('4') ) {
  include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_website.php');

  } elseif ( in_category('3') ) {
  include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_design.php');

  } else {
  include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_blog.php');

  }
? >

    So it’ll query 2 but it messes up the page layout and it just won’t query 3 at all.

    Has anyone got any ideas?

    single.php displays the single post view.
    page.php displays the Pages.
    see Template_Hierarchy

    Not clear what kind of pages/Pages are you talking about.

    For having diffent single post view by categories, use this plugin:

    Sorry. I’m talking about single post views.

    So I want the single post view for each category to use a different single page template.

    Website Design = single_website.php
    Graphic Design = single_graphic.php
    Eveything Else = single_blog.php

    I really hope someone can help me out with this.

    Right.

    I’ve managed to the get the actual query to work (http://dev.mrleesimpson.co.uk/2008/04/test-graphic-post). But I’m still have the problem with the design.

    The footer and sidebar seem to right out.

    Anyone?
