   This is my custom post type - meant to show a small picture of an artist's recent release, with a title and custom fields. How do I query it, if I want it as a custom loop in the sidebar? Can it be done with the get_posts function? Thanks in advance.

   add_action( 'init', 'register_imnet_recentrelease' ); 
   
   function register_imnet_recentrelease() {  
   
       $labels = array(
           'name' => _x( 'recent release', 'recent release' ),
           'singular_name' => _x( 'recent release', 'recent release' ),
           'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', 'recent release' ),
           'add_new_item' => _x( 'Add New recent release', 'recent release' ),
           'edit_item' => _x( 'Edit recent release', 'recent release' ),
           'new_item' => _x( 'New recent release', 'recent release' ),
           'view_item' => _x( 'View recent release', 'recent release' ),
           'search_items' => _x( 'Search recent releases', 'recent release' ),
           'not_found' => _x( 'No recent releases found', 'recent release' ),
           'not_found_in_trash' => _x( 'No recent releases found in Trash', 'recent release' ),
           'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent recent release:', 'recent release' ),
           'menu_name' => _x( 'recent releases', 'recent release' ),
       );  
   
       $args = array(
           'labels' => $labels,
           'hierarchical' => false,
           'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields' ),
           'public' => true,
           'show_ui' => true,
           'show_in_menu' => true,
           'menu_position' => 8,
           'menu_icon' => 'http://yourdomain.com/images/menuicon.png',
           'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
           'publicly_queryable' => true,
           'exclude_from_search' => true,
           'has_archive' => true,
           'query_var' => true,
           'can_export' => true,
           'rewrite' => true,
           'capability_type' => 'page'
       );  
   
       register_post_type( 'recentrelease', $args );
   }

   I tried this, but it does not work:

   <h4 class="widgettitle">Recent Releases</h4>
   
   <?php $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=5&order=DESC&post_type=recentrelease'); foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
   <div class="recent-post">
   <p><?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) the_post_thumbnail( array( 128, 128 ), array( 'class' => 'alignleft') ); else { ?><?php } ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>&raquo;<br />
   <span class="date"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></span>
   </a></p></div>
   <div class="clear">&nbsp;</div>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </div>
   <div class="clear">&nbsp;</div>
