Question

I need to show a different post query depending on what category the current post is filed under.

There are about 7 or 8 categories, each needing their own little query.

Here is my current query code

<?php query_posts( 'post_type=offers&category_name=home-page&posts_per_page=1&orderby=rand'); ?>

All that needs to change in each is the category_name varialble.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’ve been tearing my hair out over this one.

Answer 1

<?php 

if (in_category('Fruit')) {
  $category_name = 'fruit';
} else if (in_category('Vegetables')) {
  $category_name = 'vegetables';
} //etc

query_posts( "post_type=offers&category_name=$category_name&posts_per_page=1&orderby=rand"); 

?>
