tbuleyHowdy, all! I'm back on WordPress after a lengthy hiatus learning PHP and using ModX for full-blown CMS deployment. With my current project, I'm hoping to push the boundries of WP a bit.
It's a finance/buisness news site, and I'm looking to turn the tagging system into a way to categorize companies by their stock ticker (tag a post about Adobe with ADBE and use their tag to lookup all past posts on the subject).
I'd like to call back all recent tags into an array, so I can spin through them one by one and produce financial data for "recently mentioned" items. I'd also like to do "most recently mentioned" tags.
In general, I see myself doing this using a MYSQL query on the posts DB, calling something like * where timestamp > X ORDER BY count(*). Does anyone forsee a problem with this?
