Show full posts for specific category?

[Birming]

I'm trying to have one category to show full posts, just as they would look on a single page.

This is where I am right now, but it displays as "Show Content", ignoring line breaks:

add_action('genesis_post_content', 'add_genesis_post_content');
function add_genesis_post_content() {
    if ( is_category( '506' ) )
        remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_image', 8 );
        remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
        add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'the_content' );
}

How should the code look for the posts to display fully?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Robert,

You can achieve this fairly easily. If you look in genesis/lib/structure/post.php and go to about line 303 you find the genesis_do_post_content() function. This function handles how the content is rendered (displayed out to the browser). If all you want to do is show the full posts on the Category 506 archive page, then here is a snippet to help you out:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'tonya_do_post_content' );
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'tonya_do_post_content' );
/**
 * Show the full content vs. excerpt for specific category
 *
 * @since 1.0.0
 * 
 * @uses genesis_do_post_content()
 * 
 * @return void
 */
function tonya_do_post_content() {
	
	//* If this is category 506, then override the settings & just render
	//* out the full content.
	if ( is_category( 506 ) ) {

		the_content( __( '[Read more...]', 'genesis' ) );

	} 
	//* Otherwise, call the standard Genesis function & let it handle the output
	else {

		genesis_do_post_content();

	}
}

So basically, if it is the right category you are targeting, then call the_content() which outputs the full post; else call Genesis and let it handle it.

Cheers,
Tonya

Thank you very much, Tonya, much appreciated!

One thing, though. Now the other categories display the preview content twice, no matter if I chose "Display post content" or "Display post excerpts" in the Genesis theme settings.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Robert

Hey Robert,

And it would because I forgot to tell you to do add this too:

remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
remove_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

Sorry about that.

So you are removing the genesis_do_post_content() function from the hook and replacing it with tonya_do_post_content() or whatever you call it in your site.

Cheers,
Tonya
