ahhh, so i’ve gone looking the long way around to get a pretty simple result in the end.

thanks for your help, much appreciated. i should probably start reading some docs.

i think what you’ve said should suffice, i wasn’t aware of the template selection when adding a new page.

basically, i want an album reviews section. i’ve got a plugin for adding them (to allow for extra data), but obviously i’d like the album reviews pages/archives to appear different to the other standard news/etc archive pages.

i also want to be able to link to the latest album reviews from a side menu on the main page, which i think i’ll be able to achieve using what you’ve mentioned.

i’ve no problem coding straight php/sql queries to do it all, but i’m trying to keep it integrated with wordpress as much as possible.

if you have any other suggestions let me know. thanks for your help.

ok, maybe i’m having a bad day.. but how can i get a page to use the ‘reviews.php’ template in my templates directory?

say with a link from my main index page?

thanks in adv

thanks i’ll take a look
