Hi, what if I want to apply this to categories?
Say, the category.php is the portal. Then when the person clicks on a certain category, the category.php portal registers which CATEGORY it IS, and calls the appropriate template for it?
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

one last bit of clarification….the post is in two categories so it has two permalinks, ie, …/lawyers/robert and …/print/robert

i want to the first one to be displayed ‘normally’ and the second one to be displayed as the ‘print friendly’ version…..

but, no matter what/where, the post always comes up as the print friendly version…(because it is included in category

so, what if your post is marked in two categories, ie, cat=4 and cat=8, and you only want it to display in the alternate template when it’s specified as cat=8…..that may sound confusing, but here’s what i’m doing:

it’s a site for a law firm…i have lawyers(category 4) listed in a drop-down menu, when you hover over the lawyer, it brings up another pop up containing a snippet of the lawyer’s profile…within that pop up, there is an link to view full profile, a link to email that lawyer, and a link to print full profile….the client has a layout he wants for all printed pages…a ‘print friendly’ version of the post..so, what i haven’t figured out how to do is to print the full post as the ‘print friendly’ version…

my thought was to create a category called ‘print’ that i could add all posts to which would be printed(category 8)….so, i put all the posts of the lawyers, and all the ‘practice areas’ (category 5) and added them to the ‘print’ category…..so, now they are all in 2 categories….

i was going to use the permalink for the ‘print’ category as the link on the ‘print’ icon in the snippets……but, when i do that using the code in this article, it also shows that category post template when i try to view the post(in category 4 and 5) any time on the site, not only when i click on the print icon…….ie, since the lawyers and practice areas are also in category 4/5 and 8(print category), no matter when i try to view any lawyer or practice area post, it goes to the custom print template….

know what i mean?
