Different Templates for Different Categories?

Hi,
Right now, the plugin doesn’t support using more than 1 template (even though you can customize that template). But this is a good suggestion and I’ll see if there is a way to make it so you can use more than one template.

I was just looking at your code for template_functions.php. What if we added a category field for the DB record? And checked by that?

yeah…that’s possible..it’s likely that it would need a shortcode parameter, however, so I’ll need to think about that..unless you want to code it ??

You obviously know the plugin much better than I do, but I just might give it a shot. If it works, I’ll let you know.

actually, the easiest way to do this is as follows:

go into the main wp-rss-multi-importer.php file and add a shortcode parameter to overrwide the $template variable…then put in the shortcode using the new parameter (it would have to be the precise php file name) and that should work.

If you want, email me at

and I can send you a revised file that should do the trick without having to change the db

This line?
$template=$options['template'];

Went with this. Works beautifully!

if ($thisCat == 1){
	$template=$options['template'];
}
else {
	$template = 'default.php';
}
