I read this article when trying to find out how and it would work great if there is a way I can specify in <?php if ($count == 1) : ?> to do posts 1, 3, AND 5 instead of just 1. I tried putting in <?php if ($count == 1,3,5) : ?> but it came up with an error.

anyone? any ideas what the problem is?

I just tried that and it caused my entire site to just show some error message. I had to change the functions.php file back through ftp to fix it. Here’s the code I added to my functions.php file from the magazeen theme’s if it helps:

/* Custom Write Panel
/* ———————————————-*/

$meta_boxes =
array(
“image” => array(
“name” => “image”,
“type” => “text”,
“std” => “”,
“title” => “Image”,
“description” => “Using the \”Add an Image\” button, upload an image and paste the URL here. Images will be resized. This is the Article’s main image and will automatically be sized.”)
);

function meta_boxes() {
global $post, $meta_boxes;

echo’
<table class=”widefat” cellspacing=”0″ id=”inactive-plugins-table”>

<tbody class=”plugins”>’;

foreach($meta_boxes as $meta_box) {
$meta_box_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $pre.’_value’, true);

if($meta_box_value == “”)
$meta_box_value = $meta_box[‘std’];

echo'<tr>
<td width=”100″ align=”center”>’;
echo'<input type=”hidden” name=”‘.$meta_box[‘name’].’_noncename” id=”‘.$meta_box[‘name’].’_noncename” value=”‘.wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ).'” />’;
echo'<h2>’.$meta_box[‘title’].'</h2>’;
echo’ </td>
<td>’;
echo'<input type=”text” name=”‘.$meta_box[‘name’].’_value” value=”‘.get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_box[‘name’].’_value’, true).'” size=”100%” />
‘;
echo'<p><label for=”‘.$meta_box[‘name’].’_value”>’.$meta_box[‘description’].’ Visit the README for more information.</label></p>’;
echo’ </td>
</tr>’;
}

echo’
</tbody>
</table>’;
}

function create_meta_box() {
global $theme_name;
if ( function_exists(‘add_meta_box’) ) {
add_meta_box( ‘new-meta-boxes’, ‘Magazeen Post Options’, ‘meta_boxes’, ‘post’, ‘normal’, ‘high’ );
}
}

function save_postdata( $post_id ) {
global $post, $meta_boxes;

foreach($meta_boxes as $meta_box) {
// Verify
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[$meta_box[‘name’].’_noncename’], plugin_basename(__FILE__) )) {
return $post_id;
}

if ( ‘page’ == $_POST[‘post_type’] ) {
if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_page’, $post_id ))
return $post_id;
} else {
if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_post’, $post_id ))
return $post_id;
}

$data = $_POST[$meta_box[‘name’].’_value’];

if(get_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box[‘name’].’_value’) == “”)
add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box[‘name’].’_value’, $data, true);
elseif($data != get_post_meta($post_id, $pre.’_value’, true))
update_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box[‘name’].’_value’, $data);
elseif($data == “”)
delete_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box[‘name’].’_value’, get_post_meta($post_id, $meta_box[‘name’].’_value’, true));
}
}

add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘create_meta_box’);
add_action(‘save_post’, ‘save_postdata’);

anyone?

Can someone please help me? this is a very important feature of the site and I have to get this working before we launch. I can show you whatever part of the codes you want. I’d really appreciate it.

Anyone have any ideas? I’d really appreciate any kind of insight whatsoever.

Come on guys. There must be someone who can offer some sort of suggestion. Do you want me to post some of the code?
