bc-int

1. Does nothing, still displays only post #724

2. Can’t see anything anywhere that would indicate that.

3. Spits out all sorts of weird ping code on my homepage under the widget.

It doesn’t seem like this should be so hard to call a few simple posts lol. Thanks for all of your continued input though.

Here’s my current code:

// Tabber: Get Most Popular Posts
function tj_tabs_popular( $posts = 5, $size = 48 ) {
wp_reset_query();
if(empty($posts)) $posts = 5;
if(empty($size)) $size = 48;
	$args = array();
$args['posts_per_page'] = $posts;
$args['post__in'] = array(603,654,657,714,724);
$args['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 1;
$args['orderby'] = 'ID';

$popular = new WP_Query($args);
while ($popular->have_posts()) : $popular->the_post();

?>

Lol, I appreciate your help no matter what! I’m not sure where it’s being called other than in the file that controls the widget called widget-tabs.php.

The code we’ve been working on is from functions.php, here is the code from the widget file:

<?php
/**
 * Theme Junkie Tabs Widget
 */

class TJ_Widget_Tabs extends WP_Widget {

	function TJ_Widget_Tabs() {
		$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'widget_tab', 'description' => __('Display an Ajax tabber with Popular Posts, Latest Posts and Recent Comments.'));
		$control_ops = array('width' => 400, 'height' => 350);
		$this->WP_Widget('tab', __('ThemeJunkie - Tabs'), $widget_ops, $control_ops);
	}

	function widget( $args, $instance ) {
		extract($args);
		$pp_num = $instance['pp_num'];
		$rp_num = $instance['rp_num'];
		$rc_num = $instance['rc_num'];
		$asize = $instance['asize'];
		?>

<div id="tab-sidebar">

	<div class="widget tab-widget" id="popular-posts">
		<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e('Popular', 'themejunkie'); ?></h3>
		<ul>
			<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
			<?php tj_tabs_popular($pp_num, $asize); ?>
		</ul>
	 </div> <!--end #popular-posts-->

	<div class="widget tab-widget" id="recent-posts">
		<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e('Latest', 'themejunkie'); ?></h3>
		<ul>
			<?php tj_tabs_latest($rp_num, $asize); ?>
		</ul>
	</div> <!--end #recent-posts-->

	<div class="widget tab-widget" id="recent-posts">
		<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e('Featured', 'themejunkie'); ?></h3>
		<ul>
			<?php tj_tabs_extra($rc_num, $asize); ?>
		</ul>
	</div> <!--end #recent-comments-->

</div><!--end #tab-sidebar-->
		<?php
	}

	function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
		$instance = $old_instance;
		$instance['pp_num'] = $new_instance['pp_num'];
		$instance['rp_num'] =  $new_instance['rp_num'];
		$instance['rc_num'] =  $new_instance['rc_num'];
		$instance['asize'] =  $new_instance['asize'];
		return $instance;
	}

	function form( $instance ) {
		$instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, array( 'pp_num' => '5', 'rp_num' => '5', 'rc_num' => '5', 'asize' => '48' ) );
		$pp_num = $instance['pp_num'];
		$rp_num = format_to_edit($instance['rp_num']);
		$rc_num = format_to_edit($instance['rc_num']);
		$asize = format_to_edit($instance['asize']);
	?>

	<?php }
}

register_widget('TJ_Widget_Tabs');

It does call tj_tabs_popular() in the form of tj_tabs_popular($pp_num, $asize) and I tried changing it to tj_tabs_popular(5) but it still only shows post ID#724!

$args['post_type'] = 'post'; = same thing.

$args['post_type'] = 'page'; = no posts are displayed, not even # 724.

Thanks again lol, anything else I can try to change the order or make the rest appear?

// Tabber: Get Most Popular Posts
function tj_tabs_popular( $posts = 5, $size = 48 ) {
wp_reset_query();
if(empty($posts)) $posts = 5;
if(empty($size)) $size = 48;
	$args = array();
$args['posts_per_page'] = $posts;
$args['post__in'] = array(603,654,657,714,724);
$args['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 1;
$args['orderby'] = 'ID';

$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
	while ($popular->have_posts()) : $popular->the_post();
?>
<li class="clear">
 	<?php
				$thumb = get_thumbnail($post->ID, get_theme_mod('thumb_key'),get_theme_mod('thumb_key'));

				if(!$thumb)
					$thumb = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/default-thumb.gif';

				$url = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/timthumb.php?src='.$thumb.'&h='.$size.'&w='.$size.'&a=t&zc=1';
				echo '<a  class="entry-thumb"href="'.get_permalink().'" title=""><img width="'.$size.'" height="'.$size.'" src="'.$url.'" alt="" /></a>';
			?>
 	<div class="info">
 	<a title="" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
	</div> <!--end .info-->
</li>
<?php endwhile;
}

And I get “Fatal error: Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in public_html/wp-content/themes/daily/functions.php on line 401”

Hmm…I know I must have made a syntax error somewhere?

Took it out, so it reads:

$the_query = new WP_Query('showposts='. $posts .'$orderby=ID&include=603,654,657,714,724');

Still nothing…it’s funny that you said stickies are always posted by date, because the only function that will work, even with caller_get_posts=1& removed is post_date.

Could there be something else in the code that’s forcing the stickies?

Still doesn’t seem to work. It jumbles up the ascending order slightly, so that it looks like this:

1)2nd newest
2)newest
3)3rd newest
4)4th newest
5)5th newest

but it doesn’t show the posts that I want.

ID #’s 603,654,657,714,724 are WAY older than the last 5 posts on my site. Thanks again though…any other ideas?

THAT WORKS!!

Seriously, I can’t thank you enough. It probably would have been days of trial and error before I came upon that bunch of code!

Thanks again!!!
