In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Thumbnail round corners in tpg linksUnfortunately time availability does not permit me to provide support to customize sites. Try searching on css tutorials to learn how to use css selectors.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Thumbnail round corners in tpg linksYou can apply custom styling by following the instructions under the styling tab. Once the custom style sheet is on your system, it is standard css.
The div wrapper for thumbnails is tpg-get-posts-thumbnail. I would suggest you look at the source generated for your site to set the custom styling for the thumbnails. A tool like firebug in the firefox browser (chrome & IE have their own debugging tools) will show what css is being applied to each element and this will help you specify the correct css syntax.
hope that helps.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Overriding StylesI will verify the over-ride feature this week. Make sure the file name you use is user-get-posts-style.css and is put in the root directory of the theme or child theme, if your theme is a child theme. The over-ride css file name is different from the base name.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Custom Post TypesI have looked at this but not implemented anything. Once the current release stabilizes, I will see about adding this functionality.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Overriding StylesI must agree the styling is confusing. It has evolved over time and in order to maintain backwards compatibility, it is now overly complex. If the styling continues to appear as source of aggravation, I will raise the priority of restructuring. As a result of the piece-meal growth of the styling, not all the sections are handled the same and that adds to the complexity.
for now, there is an parm field_classes=”post_title=tpg-title-class, post_content=tpg-content-class, post_metadata=tpg-metadata-class, post_byline=tpg-byline-class” which over-rides the classes and lets you assign your own class.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Hide the Read More When Content is ShortenedTry setting the option more_link_text=”” This should remove the read more text. If that does not work, try changing to a single space

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Move Title inside content areaI believe what you are asking for is provided in the premium version and is referred to as the ‘magazine format’ should you decide you need this feature.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Limit Excerptwhen the more tag is inserted into a post, WP displays a teaser and inserts a ‘read more’ link. The show entire over-rides this default WP behavior and shows the entire post. The default value is false. Make sure your more tag is inserted where you want the post to break.
The excerpt is shown in its entirety. If you are using excerpts, it assumes you want to show the excerpt.
The shorten text routine was developed to limit the text to a fixed number of characters for specific formatting. The best option for seeing if the shorten text will work the way you want is to play around with it.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Pass variable into a filter criteriasomething like this:
echo do_shortcode(‘[tpg_get_posts tag=”‘.$myvariable.'” category_name=”news” show_meta=”false” show_entire=”true” show_byline=”false” ]’);

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] CCS Styling and overridesI just pushed out release 2.2.2 which wraps the thumbnails in li tags instead of div tags, which is what happens with the regular post display. In your shortcode, you have ul_class=’true’ which should be removed, as it should be overlaid by the last parm ul_class=”tpg-ul-class”.
As far as a grid display, I think you should be able to use the css to float the li items and use margins to control the number across the page. I have not played with this. If you try it and are successful, then post your formatting in a new post so others can see how you did it.
thanks

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] CCS Styling and overridesHi Sandy
The css over-ride: the tpg-get-posts-style.css needs to be renamed to user-get-posts-style.css (no tpg in the name).
for the second problem, you may have uncovered a bug in the code. I am not sure what the shortcode looks like that you are using, but I think you have the thumbnail only flag set to true. I looked at the plugin code, it seems displaying the thumbnails only in a list has never been tested, as the li tags are not generated, but each thumbnail is wrapped in a div. I will need to look at this to see how to add the li for each post when requesting a thumbnail only.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Latest Update showing Related postsI released 2.2 today and on my test system the problem with related posts does not appear. I am marking this closed unless someone reports a problem after they upgrade.

In reply to: [TPG Get Posts] Latest Update showing Related postsI have been working on the plugin and may have uncovered the issue with the yarpp post. I hope to finish my testing and have some beta code available for testing. Is anyone available to apply the code change and test on their site?
I am looking at when the content filter is applied. By moving this to immediately after the content section, the problem is not occurring on my test site. However, I really need a more robust test environment for this issue, so would appreciate an willing test case.
You can post back here to let every one know that status, but send me an email directly.
Timing: Hope to have the code ready to test by end of today.
