Custom category archive page

hello,

I’m having the same problem as you, still trying to nut it out. This might work though.

After your code at the bottom $counter++;

place this code

endwhile;?>
    <div class="clr"></div>

    <div class="artist-navigation">
							<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries'); ?></div>
							<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;'); ?></div>
						</div>

<? endif; ?>

Goodluck!

Actually should be this sorry.

endwhile;?>
		<div class="clear"></div>

    <div class="artist-navigation">
							<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries'); ?></div>
							<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;'); ?></div>
						</div>

<? endif; ?>

I actually got it to work. My code above was complicated because of the grid I was trying to use. I simplified my grid and got it to work. The code below will give you an archive page of a custom post type with featured image grid of it’s child post types underneath.

CODE:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="main-content">

<h2><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h2>

<div id="gridcontainer">

<?php
global $query_string; //Need this to make pagination work

/*Setting up our custom query (In here we are setting it to show 12 posts per page and eliminate all sticky posts) */
query_posts($query_string . '&caller_get_posts=1&posts_per_page=12');

if(have_posts()) :	while(have_posts()) :  the_post();
?>

			<div class="griditemleft">
				<div class="postimage">
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('category-thumbnail'); ?></a>
					</div>
                		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
			</div><!--griditemleft-->

<?php
endwhile;
//Pagination can go here if you want it.
endif;
?>

</div><!--gridcontainer-->

</div><!--main-content-->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I hope this helps ??

oh yes I see. Taking out the code that repeated 3 times in your original example.

I ended up with this

<div id="artist_maincontent">
<div id="gridContainer">

<?php
$c = 1; //init counter
$bpr =3; //boxes per row
global $query_string; //Need this to make pagination work
// we add this, to show all posts in our
// Glossary sorted alphabetically
$posts = query_posts($query_string .
'&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=15');
// here comes The Loop!
if(have_posts()) :  while(have_posts()) :  the_post();
?>
            				<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

                <div class="postImage">
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('grid-post-image'); ?></a>
    <h5 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
				</div>

                            </div>
<?php
if($c == $bpr) :
?>
<div class="clr"></div>
<?php
$c = 0;
endif;
?>
<?php
        $c++;
    endwhile;?>
    <div class="clr"></div>

    <div class="artist-navigation">
							<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('<span class="arrow_left">Previous Artists</span>'); ?></div>
							<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('<span class="arrow_right">More Artists</span>'); ?></div>
						</div>

<? endif; ?>

<div class="clr"></div>
</div><!--End Grid -->
</div><!--End artist_maincontent -->

A test example can be found here. I still need to check pagination works but getting there.

Thank you for your response and help! =)
