lukafer2Alright, this is quite the task that I need to accomplish, so please let me know if you can help me on this.
I have a dog website, http://www.thecaninedirectory.com, which is just a directory of all dog breeds (incomplete so far).
Within the site, I want to categorize the dog breeds by AKC (American Kennel Club) breeds. So I have pages like http://www.thecaninedirectory.com/akc-group/hound-group, and similar to the other 6 categories.
As I've created posts, I've been categorizing the dog into one of the 7 groups.
Now what I want to do, is have on this page, http://www.thecaninedirectory.com/akc-group/hound-group, a list of all posts under the category "Hound".
On the homepage, I like the way that the recent posts are organized, and I would like to have the categories displayed in the same way on http://www.thecaninedirectory.com/akc-group/hound-group.
I know that the homepage is using some sort of "limit posts" plugin to organize the content like that, I just don't know how to get it to display all posts under a certain category under the "hound group" page.
This is the code for the limitpost plugin:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Limit Posts

Description: Limits the displayed text length on the index page entries and generates a link to a page to read the full content if its bigger than the selected maximum length.

*/
function the_content_limit($max_char, $more_link_text = 'Read→', $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = '') {
$content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
$content = strip_tags($content,'');
if (strlen($_GET['p']) > 0) {
echo "<p>";
echo $content;
echo " <a href='";
the_permalink();
echo "'>"."Read More →</a>";
echo "</p>";
}
else if ((strlen($content)>$max_char) && ($espacio = strpos($content, " ", $max_char ))) {
$content = substr($content, 0, $espacio);
$content = $content;
echo "<p>";
echo $content;
echo "...";
echo " <a href='";
the_permalink();
echo "'>".$more_link_text."</a>";
echo "</p>";
}
else {
echo "<p>";
echo $content;
echo " <a href='";
the_permalink();
echo "'>"."Read More →</a>";
echo "</p>";
}
}
