Sorry you feel that way Nikos. It doesn’t affect the functionality and if it really bothers you that much you can comment out the form on lines 222 – 228 of the plugin code and not have to look at it ever again.

While I generally detest Paypal and the fees they charge for transactions, it is one of the easier ways to offer people the chance to support developers who are contributing to the betterment of the WordPress landscape.

I just hate the plugins with PayPal buttons.

From the code perspective, they would be handled exactly the same as the category.php and single.php files that are a part of any theme. The only difference being that you can now make one category-cssgallery.php, select it as the theme for a parent category and it will also apply to the dozens of sub-categories.

From the community perspective, it would be similar to the way themes are shared today. Designers could either share their css and category templates OR design a version which is VERY generic making it easier for other designers to leverage their code.

To help grow that community / sharing element for the plugin, I am in the process of creating the SVN repository on wp.org for this plugin. I will create a section for any category templates that I create or ones that other designers send me if they are so inclined.

My question with this plugin is how custom category templates would be handled.
