Favorite posts with thumb and excert …please?

here’s what I did —

1. copy the wpfp-page-template.php into your theme — not sure if that’s obvious to others. it wasn’t to me.
2. Umm… rewrite the template a bit to suit your purposes. for me, it was the following (note I change the query from query_posts to new wp_query and use a custom post type):

   if ($favorite_post_ids) {
   
       $favorite_post_ids = array_reverse($favorite_post_ids);
       $post_per_page = wpfp_get_option("post_per_page");
       // $page = intval(get_query_var('paged')); // I don't need this
   
       $sectors = array(
         'post_type' => 'sectors',
         'post__in' => $favorite_post_ids,
         'posts_per_page'=> $post_per_page,
         'orderby' => 'post__in'
       );     
   
   /*
   *  Sectors
   *  ==================================
   */
   
       $sectors_query = new WP_Query( $sectors );
       if ( $sectors_query->have_posts() ) { ?>
          <h2>Sectors</h2>
         <?php
         while ( $sectors_query->have_posts() ) {
           $sectors_query->the_post(); ?>
           <div>
           <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
           <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
           <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
           <p class="btn btn-info btn-xs"><span class="remove-wpfp"><?php echo wpfp_remove_favorite_link(get_the_ID()); ?></span></p>
         </div>
   <?php } // if $sectors_query
       wp_reset_query();

I actually have a bunch of custom post types and, thus a bunch of arguments and new wp queries going on, but hopefully this is helpful and not the wrong way to do it for some reason. I have noticed that I have to click all of my wpfp_link() buttons twice to make things happen. Hopefully that’s not related to this here. I’m about to post my own question about that in a second.
