hmm. That really isn’t what I need, I need something I can just put raw into a template page. so, not an archive of post titles that you can individually link too, but a page of all the actual posts.
Is there a way to maybe do this without a plugin? Maybe multiple calls on a page?
Something that would fit in a set up kind of like this:
‘numberposts=999&orderby=title&order=ASC’
like a limiter, or range.
Sorry, if i’m not seeing an obvious thing here. But thanks for your suggestions! 🙂
<?php
$last_char = '';
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page'=>-1,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo 'Alphabetic index of all ' . count($my_query->posts) . ' posts';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$this_char = strtoupper(substr($post->post_title,0,1));
if ($this_char != $last_char) {
$last_char = $this_char;
echo '<h2>'.$last_char.'</h2>';
} ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
endwhile;
} //if ($my_query)
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
Wow thank you Michael. If I wanted to do this with posts from just one category, rather than all of them, would it be something like this:
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page'=>-1,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
'in_category'=>3
);
or like this:
$last_char = '';
$cat = 3;
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page'=>-1,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
'in_category'=>$cat
);
or maybe its something totally different.
Again, thanks for the query from before. Really appreciate it.
cheers
Nadine.
$last_char = '';
$cat = 3;
$args=array(
'cat' => $cat,
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page'=>-1,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
or for multiple categories
$last_char = '';
$args=array(
'category__in' => array(3,7,45,2),
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page'=>-1,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
bump.
Sorry to have to bother the forum again, but I find myself in a scenario where I need to sort this, and make the headers, by a custom field rather by post_title (client request).
This seems to work fine for sorting:
$last_char = '';
$args=array(
'category__in' => array(3,7,45,2),
'orderby' => 'guest_sort',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page'=>-1,
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
But I’m not sure how to figure out getting the headers to use the custom field as well.
I tried this:
$post->guest_sort
but that was wrong.
Then I tried pulling the custom filed value into a variable with get_post_meta but I’m probably doing it wrong:
$guestSort = get_post_custom_values('guest_sort');
$this_char = strtoupper(substr($guestSort,0,1));
but that didn’t work. I also tried stringing together a meta_value&meta_key=guest_sort string, but that didn’t work.
$this_char = strtoupper(substr($post->meta_value&meta_key=guest_sort,0,1));`
Suggestions?
Thank you.
Nadine.
