[How To] modify 'Category Page' aka page2cat to display posts instead of just titles

While this plugin 'Category Page' aka page2cat (version 2.5 - get it at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page2cat/) seems to be gathering dust (last update 3/29/2008) it still works, but the way it works is it lists just the titles (as links) of a category on a page. Most people seem to want to be able to list the entire post. You can do that by making a slight change to the plugin.

Edit the plugin lines 618-620 and change them from:

HTML Code:

   foreach($catposts as $single):
         $output .= "<li><a href='".get_permalink($single->ID)."'>".$single->post_title."</a></li>";
    endforeach;

to

HTML Code:

   foreach($catposts as $single):
        query_posts('cat='.$v0.'&showposts='.get_option('posts_per_page'));
   endforeach;

That all it takes.
