 * I’m currently designing & developing a theme for a research company.
 * – They want a general newsfeed on the site, simple enough.
    – They also want 
   pages for their individual research projects, also pretty simple.
 * Where I’m getting confused, is that on each project page they want a newsfeed
   side-column, showing only news from that project.
 * I assuming a good starting point is filtering all posts by category, so the general
   newsfeed only gets the ‘general newsfeed’ category of posts… Where I’m falling
   down is how I can create a template for project pages where the client will be
   able create a new project page (and then a corresponding post category type) 
   and have this appear in the side-column.
 * I’m thinking if I can include get_posts in the loop of page.php I can somehow
   make the category of the posts the same as the page title… Any ideas on how to
   do this or am I taking the wrong approach? Is there a way to filter get_posts
   through custom fields?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Many thanks 🙂
