Changing the category view for Thematic theme

For thematic theme*

Could try coping the theme parent category.php to your child theme, and then in that template delete the template tag, the_content().

I’ve copied the category.php over to the child theme though I do not know where to delete “the_content()”.

This is code which is in the category.php:

<?php

    // calling the header.php
    get_header();

    // action hook for placing content above #container
    thematic_abovecontainer();

?>

	<div id="container">
		<div id="content">

            <?php

            // displays the page title
            thematic_page_title();

            // create the navigation above the content
            thematic_navigation_above();

            // action hook for placing content above the category loop
            thematic_above_categoryloop();			

            // action hook creating the category loop
            thematic_categoryloop();

            // action hook for placing content below the category loop
            thematic_below_categoryloop();			

            // create the navigation below the content
            thematic_navigation_below();

            ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #container -->

<?php 

    // action hook for placing content below #container
    //thematic_belowcontainer();

    // calling the standard sidebar
    thematic_sidebar();

    // calling footer.php
    get_footer();

?>

Probably could just delete

thematic_categoryloop();

Ah just tried that and it removes everything off the category view including the post titles sadly.

Oops, see that. For now at line 261 in thematic/extensions/content-extension.php change to <?php // thematic_content(); ?>

Okay did that, now what?

Seems the better way is to filter that via a function like this in your functions.php

function no_content_for_cat_templates($content) {
  if( is_category() ) {
    $content = 'none';  //none, excerpt, or full
  }
  return $content;
}
add_filter('thematic_content', 'no_content_for_cat_templates');

Okay, well when I add that function to the very bottom of the functions.php in my child theme it brings up this error:

function no_content_for_cat_templates($content) { if( is_category() ) { $content = 'none'; //none, excerpt, or full } return $content; } add_filter('thematic_content', 'no_content_for_cat_templates');
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/decafmer/public_html/wp-content/themes/BunchofAnime/functions.php:129) in /home/decafmer/public_html/wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/si-contact-form.php on line 2160

Start with a fresh functions.php and make sure that code is inside the

<?php

and

?>

Ah that was the problem, didn’t put them in those tags. Now that I put that code in without any errors now what?

Well that should stop the full post content from displaying on category archive views. Am I missing something?

The category archive view originally doesn’t display what’s inside of it, but shows information about it like this:

Post Title 1
By Author | Published: March 22, 2010 | Edit
Posted in Post Title 1 | Comments closed | Edit

What I would like it look like is:

Post Title 1

Without it having the other information shown.

Okay–a bit more for your functions.php file

function no_postmeta_for_cat_templates($postmeta) {
  if( is_category() ) {
    $postmeta='';
  }
  return $postmeta;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_postmeta', 'no_postmeta_for_cat_templates');

function no_postfooter_for_cat_templates($postfooter) {
  if( is_category() ) {
    $postfooter='';
  }
  return $postfooter;
}
add_filter('thematic_postfooter', 'no_postfooter_for_cat_templates');

Ah brilliant!! That bit of code worked perfectly. Thanks!

Now is there any way to alter the spacing in between titles and the amount of titles shown on a single page?
