hi there, when i want to rewrite, let's say the index loop i use the childtheme_override_index_loop function.
and now when i try to target the loop for a page, I can't get it working. i can't find any function that says something like childtheme_override_page, so i guess it is
function childtheme_override_single_post () {
//do nuffi'n
}but it does not seem to work. do i have to make a template for a page or what is this? anyone that knows?!
if you take a look at page.php you will see there is no loop function. so i think you need to make a template.

Thanks!
Why is it so?
just curious..
does not page need: (have_posts()) : the_post(); etc..etc..
don't really know why there isn't a thematic_page loop.. except that it is just as easy to duplicate and modify a page.php in your child theme OR create a new template.
technically it IS still within the wordpress loop.. which you can see b/c page.php uses the_content() and other functions that only work inside the loop. by virtue of you being on that particular page you already know that it exists. so you don't need have_posts()) : the_post()
that all made more sense in my head

ahaa, thanks!
well by the way..
reason why i wanted to modify the page.php is that i want to display a little list of the most recent post from my news category below the content of the page. the only problem with this seems to be that when i do this it get a bit confused and shows images from the news.
function add_a_little_loopie () {
if (is_page(66)) {
?>
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=1&showposts=3"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<?php the_title(); ?><br />
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php } }
add_action('thematic_belowpost','add_a_little_loopie');do you have any idea why? do i need to close the loop in some way or do i have to put it outside or so..?

got it! just needed to add: wp_reset_query(); after the endwhile;
yup... or i also like to use get_posts() for this type of thing b/c it doesn't monkey w/ the query object
