Here's another guy trying to learn how to write a plugin. I am VERY new to writing a plugins and this is the only method in which I can get my function to work.
In the world of plugins, is it ok to write a function like this.
function my_function()
{
?>
<div id="box">
<div id="myLoop">
<?php query_posts('showposts=5');?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div>
<div class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
</a></div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<h3><strong><?php the_title(); ?></strong></h3>
</a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
//Reset Query
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
?>And then include the function on a page with:
<?php
if (function_exists("my_function")) {
my_function();
}
?>Should I code this differently when working with pluin API?
Thanks for any help.
