trying to use query_posts('category_name=page_slug');

Question

I´m trying to query posts after category name and want the ('category_name= cat-name '); cat-name to be taken from the page title, lets say the page title is "Forename Lastname" then the perma-link will be /forename-lastname/ . Is it possible to make the cat-name copy the "forname-lastname" with php or must I try to make some a javascript to take care of it?

Answer 1

The "permalink" of the page it's stored as its post_name , so you can get it from the global $post

For instance:

global $post;
$slug = $post->post_name;
$posts_in_cat = query_posts('category_name='. $slug );
