category.php customization, part 2! WordPress

dirtcastle comments:

The first one works. Woot!

Unfortunately, the second one does not work. :-(

The problem with the second one is that, while the wp_query does output the correct posts... it doesn't NEST THEM INSIDE of the <strong><article></article></strong> tags. Instead, it places the posts OUTSIDE OF THE <strong><article></article></strong> tags.


<?php
function category_has_parent( $cat_id ){
$category = get_category( $cat_id );
return ($category->category_parent > 0);
}
global $cat;
$children = get_terms( 'category', array( 'parent' => $cat ) ); // Set other args if necessary
if( category_has_parent($cat) ) {
if( count($children) == 0 ) {
// THIS IS THE GRANDCHILD LEVEL
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => $cat,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);
$wpq = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $wpq->have_posts() ) {
?><ul><?php while ( $wpq->have_posts() ) : $wpq->the_post(); ?><li><?php the_title();?> : <?php the_permalink();?></li><?php endwhile;?></ul><?php
}
wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
// THIS IS THE CHILD LEVEL
foreach( $children as $child ) {
$option = '<article class="post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-genres">';
$option .= '<h3><a href="'.get_category_link( $child->term_id ).'">'.$child->name.'</a></h3>';
$option .= $child->description;
$grandchildren = get_terms( 'category', array( 'parent' => $child->term_id ) );
$option .= '<div style="display:block; overflow:hidden;">';


// HERE IS WHERE I NEED HELP !!
// The posts need to be NESTED INSIDE the <article></article> tags
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => $child->term_id,
'posts_per_page' => 5,
);
$wpq = new WP_Query( $args );

?><ul><?php while ( $wpq->have_posts() ) : $wpq->the_post(); ?><li><?php the_title();?> : <?php the_permalink();?></li><?php endwhile; ?></ul><?php
wp_reset_postdata();

$option .= '</div>';
$option .= '</article>';
echo $option;
}
}
} else {
// THIS IS THE PARENT LEVEL
foreach( $children as $child ) {
$option = '<article class="post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-genres">';
$option .= '<h3><a href="'.get_category_link( $child->term_id ).'">'.$child->name.'</a></h3>';
$option .= $child->description;
$grandchildren = get_terms( 'category', array( 'parent' => $child->term_id ) );
$option .= '<div style="display:block; overflow:hidden;">';
// This displays grandchildren
foreach( $grandchildren as $grandchild ) {
$option .= sprintf( '<a style="margin:0 8px 0 0;" href="'.get_category_link( $grandchild->term_id ).'">'.$grandchild->name.'</a>', $grandchild->name );
}
$option .= '</div>';
$option .= '</article>';
echo $option;
}
}
?>

hmm, i see
it should be saved in $option var

try this:


$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => $child->term_id,
'posts_per_page' => 5,
);
$wpq = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $wpq->have_posts() ) {
$option .= '<ul>';
while ( $wpq->have_posts() ) : $wpq->the_post();
$option .= '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
endwhile;
$option .= '</ul>';
}
wp_reset_postdata();
