    What’s the most efficient way to implement category based templates?

    For example, if I post into a category (assuming only one category is used per post), how can I have a template defined for that category that the post will show up in?

    Matt,

    Are you looking for something like this:

    {exp:channel:categories channel="" style="linear" }
    
    <h1>{category_name}</h2>
    
    <div id="" class="">
    
      {exp:channel:entries
    
      channel=""
    
      disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks"
    
      dynamic="no"
    
      category="{category_id}"
    
      }
    
    
      *info here*
    
    
      {/exp:channel:entries}
    
    
    </div><!—end #—>
    
    {/exp:channel:categories}

    This can be a bit heavy on resources at times, but does make it easy to list out entries by category.
