Wordpress MySQL Query for category pages - mysql

Question

I am using this query on my wordpress index.php to display posts and sort them by date (oldest first ASC). I use this database query because query_posts didn't work for me for some reason.

Now I want to use the exact same query on my category pages. I somehow have to add some lines in order to only show posts of the category which is active.
Does anyone have a solution?

Ok so based on your information that you posted you could use something like this:
$args = array( 'post_status' => array( 'publish', 'future' ), 'post_type' => 'post','orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'ASC' );
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
$the_query->the_post();
the_time('l, F jS, Y');
the_content();
the_category();
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
UPDATED WITH REQUEST
get_header(); ?>
<section id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<header class="archive-header">
<h1 class="archive-title"><?php printf( __( 'Category Archives: %s' ), '<span>' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '</span>' ); ?></h1>
<?php if ( category_description() ) : // Show an optional category description ?>
<div class="archive-meta"><?php echo category_description(); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</header><!-- .archive-header -->
<?php
$args = array( 'post_status' => array( 'publish', 'future' ), 'post_type' => 'post','orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'ASC' );
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
$the_query->the_post();
the_time('l, F jS, Y');
the_content();
the_category();
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</section><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
This is a twentytweleve category page that displays:
