help with query_posts
-
I am trying to get a custom loop going based on the categories that are chosen. Right now, the loop shows all posts in every category. I have three categories set up.
lunch, blog, menu
Right now, lunch has 3 posts, blog has 1, and menu has 0
Here is how I am tryin to do it.
//getting the categories $cats = explode(' ', $data['blog_cats']); //seperating them by a comma $cats = implode(',',$cats); //adding single quotes to the categories $string = "'$cats'"; //performing the query $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts(array('cat=' => $string,'showposts'=> 2,'order'=>'ASC','paged'=>$paged));
I have tried many different ways, The one above is just the latest. If I print out the string, I do get ‘blog, lunch’ which is what I would expect to get. After reading the codex and looking at other code, I cannot figure out why it won’t work. Can you help?
