Multiple signs with different "Category" displays

[j0nz]

With the digital sign the category section has been removed from the post screen for simplicity, and I understand that, but I would like to run multiple slightly different digital signs from a single wordpress install. It is possible to have the categories added back in and the digital sign only displaying the selected category (from the URL)

Something like the standard wordpress implementation:
http://www.projectpurpose.co.nz/updates/ - Shows all the posts
http://www.projectpurpose.co.nz/category/in-mazatlan/ - Only shows post in the "in Mazatlan" Category

thanks

I ended up using this project: https://github.com/ox-it/ox-theme-bsg-signage

Create a file called single.php
copy the code from index PHP and paste it into single.php
put at line 17 /*
put at line 24 */
(between $args=array and the_post();
to disable the commands
go to java script foundation.orbit.js
there in line 12 you find the Timer speed set to 0 so the slides are permanent .
You can now reach your single Slides with the permalink ....(No more slides possible only single slides if the link is broken it would send you to the first Post ...no error page ....)
Thanks to pascal from ernw he help´s me to figure that out ...

Hi,

First, thanks Nate Jones for this awesome template. :-)

I've found a little trick for displaying only posts from one category.
You have to edit index.php for this template and add a line at line 22 containing the following code:
'category_name' => get_query_var('category_name'),

$args should be like
$args=array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'orderby' => 'date',
'category_name' => get_query_var('category_name'),
);

To get back categories' management in admin console, you have to comment line 49 in function.php:
//remove_submenu_page('edit.php', 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category');//Categories

Then, if you reach the URL with a category's slug (like http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/category/category-slug/ where category-slug is the category I want to display), you'll see only this category sliding in the browser. ;-)
