Wordpress Tip: get current category with query-posts
Better than unique category templates.
If you’re theme developing, especially using a theming framework like Carrington (in my case), you might want to create a generic query to grab posts based on a category, without creating creating unique template files for reach category. Here’s some code I used. Simple, but you won’t find an exact example in the Codex.
foreach(get_the_category() as $category)
{
$cat = $category->cat_ID;
}
query_posts('orderby=menu_order&cat=' . $cat . '&order=ASC');
