HAMMADHASSAN on "New Category Templates in WordPress 2.9"

Until now you had to use a query in your theme or a Plugin to adjust the design or the content according to a specific category. In version 2.9 the template hierarchy gets expanded and you can create with the help of a slug an own template.

Here is an example: some posts with short news – a microblog. Therefore I create a category with this name and use the generated slug.

The presentation of these posts in the category overview should be different. Previously it was necessary to integrate the following query:

if ( is_category(‘microblog’) ) {
// here the output or integration of the stylesheet for category Microblog
}
