Category Page showing Page excerpts

OK I know pages aren’t supposed to have categories, but I’m building a site using WP as a CMS and I’m *nearly* there…

So far I have pages assigned to categories – initially through using the Page Category Organiser plugin, but now through pasting the category fieldset into edit-page-form.php – and I can see the pages with category ids in the post2cat table in phpMyAdmin.

I’m also adding excerpts to pages using the Excerpt Editor plugin, which works fine. When I use the Search Everything plugin, I get a search result page showing page excerpts.

So what I really want is a way to show a category page which displays the excerpts from the pages in that category.

I feel this must be possible, either through a database query in a category page in my theme (ie category-20.php), or just adding / changing page_type = 'page' somewhere in the WP core files.

Any help here much appeciated. I’ve searched everywhere…
