[...] Get the post slug in The Loop: $slug = basename(get_permalink()); (src) [...]

Thanks Josh! This is a neat solution! Using ‘get_post’ returns the entire post object, which sounds like an overkill just to get the slug. They should add a function to get the post slug from the id !

Very handy. I just made use of this as a way to query a custom taxonomy. Thanks Josh.


		$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; 
		$slug = basename(get_permalink());
		$args = array(
			'post_type'=> 'project',
			'work_type'    => $slug,
			'posts_per_page' => 12,
			'order'    => 'ASC',
			'paged' => $paged );
		query_posts( $args );

Came across this page during a brain fart, only to find a better way to do it. Thanks man.

FYI, I was wowed by the animated header, nice work.
