Michael,

I’m trying hard to modify your fabulous patch…A similar situation to souverian.

I’m trying to show more posts from the selected category, but am using a custom field for the thumbail.

http://nicolasheller.com/test/?p=1

Here is the thumbnail code:

<!-- Begin Thumbnail -->
				    <?php $postimageurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-img', true);
				    if ($postimageurl) {
				    ?>
					  <a href="<?php the_permalink($cat_post->ID); ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo $postimageurl; ?>" alt="thumbnail" /></a>
				    <?php } else { ?>
					  <a href="<?php the_permalink($cat_post->ID); ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/_.jpg" alt="thumbnail" /></a>
				    <?php } ?>
				    <!-- End Thumbnail -->

How would I adapt this to what you provided?:

<?php
			global $post;
			$cat_ID=array();
			$categories = get_the_category(); //get all categories for this post
			  foreach($categories as $category) {
			    array_push($cat_ID,$category->cat_ID);
			  }
			  $args = array(
			  'orderby' => 'date',
			  'order' => 'DESC',
				'post_type' => 'post',
				'numberposts' => 8,
				'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
				'category__in' => $cat_ID
			  ); // post__not_in will exclude the post we are displaying
			    $cat_posts = get_posts($args);
			    $out='';
			      foreach($cat_posts as $cat_post) {
			          $out .= '<h1>';
			          $out .=  '<a href="'.get_permalink($cat_post->ID).'" title="'.wptexturize($cat_post->post_title).'">'.wptexturize($cat_post->post_title).'</a></h1>';
			      }
			    $out = '<ul class="cat_post">' . $out . '</ul>';
			    echo $out;
			?>

Thanks so much!
