   Hi!

   I'm trying not to go crazy here, but for the moment I'm very close, so if any one can help I'll be very happy.

   The problem is this:

   $showPost = get('slide_id',1,1,FALSE,$post->ID);
   $args = array(
   	'category_name' => 'slideshow',
   	array('post__in' => array($showPost)),
   	'showposts'=> -1,
   	'order' => 'DESC'
   	);

   The $showPost gets it's data from a custom field called slide_id (I use the magic fields plugin) and the string it puts out could be something like: 101,185,166

   The numbers is post id's that I want to be showen. My problem is that the $showPost don't make an array that wp like. I know that the $showPost is not an array to start with is just: 101,185,166 ect. But my guess was that when I wraped it in array() it would be one.

   What I'm going for is only to pull the post that I specify in the main post's custom field. And output the data befor the main loop in it's own WP_query and that work beside I can't specify the presice ID I want.

   Hope some can suppley a quick anwser, Mads

   $args = array(
           'category_name' => 'slideshow',
           'post__in' => explode(',',$showPost),
           'showposts'=> -1,
           'order' => 'DESC'
           );

   Wow, just got it to work. Must say I'm very thankful now I can get some sleep and still make the deadline. Just spend a whole work day trying to make this work :)

   If others need this, here my code, I change a FALSE to a 0 as well:
   

   $showPost = get('slide_id',1,1,0,$post->ID);
   
   $args = array(
   	'category_name' => 'slideshow',
   	'post__in' => explode(',', $showPost),
   	'showposts'=> -1,
   	'order' => 'date'
   	);

   Once again, thank you both.

   By the way check out http://magicfields.org for the plugin.
