Recent posts loop

Ok this is solved. But the page doesn’t look like the others.

I thought that what was in page.php was enough to make it look like the others, but nope. I am very naive I know 😉

So what do I need to add to that page to make it look like the others? I guess I must add the-exerpt, the category, …coming from index.php?

<?php
/*
Template Name: Latest Posts
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">
					<div class="contentbox"><span>Latest Posts</span><div class="clear"></div><div class="left"></div></div>

<ul>
<?php
    $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
    $recentPosts->query('showposts=10');
?>
<?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
<div class="posts">
									<h6 class="postheading" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h6>
									<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
									<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="readmorelink">Read More</a>
									<div class="postsmetadata">
										Category : <?php the_category(', ') ?>.<br />
										<?php the_tags( 'Tags: ', ', ', '.<br />'); ?>
										<?php edit_post_link('Edit Post', '', ''); ?>
									</div>
								</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

					<div class="contentbox" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
						<div class="posts">
							<h6 class="postheading"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h6>
							<?php the_content('<p>Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?>
							<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<div class="postspagination">Pages: ', 'after' => '</div>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
							<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<div class="postsmetadata">', '</div>'); ?>
						</div>
					</div>

				</div>
<?php get_sidebar('block'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('right'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('left'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Ok the page.php doesn’t have any layout obviously …
http://ace.dpwatch.com is the layout
in the top navbar you have latest posts and you see what I got..no layout at all.

I guess everything is in the index.php but I couldn’t tell…
My goal is simply to have my latest posts on one page which should be done in a sec with ANY theme but that one, which puts it in a weird and crazy layout…

Thanks

so I’ve duplicated the index.php and replaced

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

with

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10');

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

And it doesn’t work so I may have to dig in further…I mean I’ve spent the whole day on this just to display my latest posts…this can’t be true ;-(

Oh I did put that :-)That’s my latest posts page
and the result is…..this http://ace.dpwatch.com/latest-posts

<?php
/*
Template Name: Latest Posts
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
				<div id="content">
					<div class="contentbox">
						<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
							<div class="boxheading"><span>Latest Posts</span><div class="clear"></div><div class="left"></div></div>
							<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10');

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

								<div class="posts">
									<h6 class="postheading" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h6>
									<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
									<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="readmorelink">Read More</a>
									<div class="postsmetadata">
										Category : <?php the_category(', ') ?>.<br />
										<?php the_tags( 'Tags: ', ', ', '.<br />'); ?>
										<?php edit_post_link('Edit Post', '', ''); ?>
									</div>
								</div>
							<?php endwhile; ?>
							<?php if (show_posts_nav()) : ?>
								<div class="postsnav"><span class="left"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></span><span class="right"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></span><div class="clear"></div></div>
							<?php endif; ?>
						<?php else : ?>
							<div class="boxheading"><span>Error : Not Found</span><div class="clear"></div><div class="left"></div></div>
							<div class="posts">
								<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
								<?php get_search_form(); ?>
							</div>
						<?php endif; ?>
					</div>
				</div>
<?php get_sidebar('block'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('right'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('left'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

this is how it looks

http://ace.dpwatch.com/latest-posts

this is how it should look, I mean how a page with posts should look
http://ace.dpwatch.com/

so no no it’s not working at all 🙂 I get the posts but not the display…

oh that’d be a life savier..I am totally bad at those things..I can learn but this is not my thing frankly.
It’s like trying to have a conversation in japanese using Google translate…I don’t totally understand what I am doing

Btw the link to your website in your profile doesn’t work, if you want to take care of my website, be my guest :-)!
It’s a lot of fun, you’ll see 😉

I copied and pasted my index.php and replaced
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
with the query post to display the last 10 posts.

So How could that page be perfectly valid on all my post pages and not on this one since I didn’t do anything??

I frankly don’t get it!
I removed get footer and get sidebars…still not displaying corretcly.

As far as the errors are concerned..most are related to the collected urls. This is an aggregator so I can’t be held responsible for the code written by others! If you look at all the errors it goes down to line 500 something and my code must be 25 lines long…
