[Plugin: Idealien Category Enhancements] Anyone using this in 2.7.1?

Same problem here..
Have inserted the comment in both the category-XXXX.php and single-XXXX.php and left them in the theme folder but no…

Ok my bad…had wrong name scheme…I had set in settings > idealien cats other name schemes, had changed the name but had a typo in the name.
Everything working now!

Been trying to use this great plug in on 2.7 as well.

The thing that doesn’t work for me is that, once i put

<?php /*
     Category Template: Custom Template Name
     Template URI: URL for template designer
     Description: A short description goes here.
     */ ?>

at the top of my category template, I cannot display and select any template in manage > categories admin panel.

Apam: did you do any typing changes in the code above or into the settings > Idealien cats where it says: Category Template Prefix:?

Would you kindly paste here how you made it work?

Regards.

@Partireper.it – Make sure the filename you save your files as match to that category Template Prefix so category-blog.php by default. There is an issue currently if you are using a child theme. One workaround is to put the template files in the parent theme folder, but that is obviously not an elegant solution. Working on a better one.

@musnake – “Where do I assign the template to that post?” You create a category template and then assign that to the category. With that done you can create a post file with the same naming (category-portfolio.php begat single-portfolio.php) and that post template will get picked up at render time of the page. Currently you cannot select a post template from within the admin console, though that is something I want to add to the next release.
