It is possible.
To include title and content of post B (ID70) in post A, add this to the single.php:
<?php $order = "70";
$myposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID IN ($order) ORDER BY FIELD(ID, $order)"); ?>
<?php if($myposts) : foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
Problem is: How do I get back to the original loop afterwards? It seems that after I inserted the code above inside the main loop, every tag after this code is referring to post B, not to the main loop (post A) .. any hints on this?
I tried this before, but it’s not working either. When you look at the plugin code, how is the plugin supposed to know when the second loop is finished and that I want to return to the original loop?
<?php get_a_post(70); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_content(); ?>
I think the plugin will only work outside the loop. But thanks anyway!
You’re going to have to nix the various Loop-based template tags for your endeavor here. But first, you can collect the post this way:
<?php $post_B = new WP_Query('p=70'); ?>
Then to display various bits of the post, you can echo the ‘post’ properties in $post_B:
<h3><?php echo apply_filters('the_title', $post_B->post->post_title); ?></h3>
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $post_B->post->post_content); ?>
Note how I’ve passed them through the apply_filters() function (with the appropriate hook) to make sure all the usual formatting, etc occurs. But you can bypass this if you don’t need it:
<h3><?php echo $post_B->post->post_title; ?></h3>
<?php echo $post_B->post->post_content; ?>
Thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for!
And it works well, except with the custom fields – I don’t manage to display the custom fields values for post B:
<?php echo $post_B->post->post_title; ?>
<?php echo $post_B->post->get_post_custom_values('field1'); ?>
Maybe get_post_custom_values isn’t the right tag?
I looked up the custom fields stuff in the codex and voilà:
<?php echo get_post_meta($post_B->post->ID,'field1', $single=TRUE); ?>
That does the trick.
Thank you.
This post answered my question about how to include a post within a page (or a post within a post or a page within a post).
This would work using exec-php as well.
could you show me the complete code ? I was searching something similar some days ago.
Now i’m using your code outside the loop and use the css to move the block where i want show it.
