[Plugin: List category posts] Code enhancement: post thumbnail & shortcodes in excerpt

Hello, first thank you for this simple and powerful plugin, it is just what I was looking for. Te lo has currao.

Then I wanted to post two lines of code I implemented in my custom template, which I think would be handy if put in the original code for the next update:

Add the new Featured Image option in WP3 or “post thumbnail“

//Show thumbnail?
if(has_post_thumbnail($single->ID)){
	$lcp_output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink($single->ID) . '">' . get_the_post_thumbnail($single->ID, array('100','100')) . '</a>';
}

Parse shorcodes in the excerpt

//Show excerpt?
if($atts['excerpt']=='yes' && !($atts['content']=='yes' && $single->post_content) ){
	$lcpcontent = apply_filters('the_content', lcp_excerpt($single)); // added to parse shortcodes
	$lcpcontent = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt', $lcpcontent); // added to parse shortcodes
	$lcp_output .= $lcpcontent;
}

I don’t know if it’s the best way to implement those things but they work for me. I hope it’s useful.

Thanks again and continue with the good work.

Saludos
