I am having a problem using WordPress locally with Xammp also. WordPress uploads and works just fine, but when trying to edit a file, such as part of a theme or a plugin, I cannot do this because windows has everything marked “read only” and I cannot change that through the usual method.

ideas, anyone?

Is it possible to modify this plugin so that it would get the exerpt from the most recent post in a category? Or is there another way to do that…

alright. problem solved.
I would like to recomend to anyone who is looking to list “most popular entries” etc. — you should use Wp-Dstats.
The directions were a tiny bit difficult for a novice user to comprehend, but the learning curve wasn’t too steep, and the best part was, no errors!
Maybe in a few days or so I will do a write up and maybe do something to make the docs a bit more idiot-proof. I am happy with this plugin.

function show_pop_posts() {
global $wpdb, $siteurl, $tableposts;
$results = $wpdb->get_results("select postnumber, cntaccess from mostAccessed ORDER BY cntaccess DESC LIMIT 10");
foreach ($results as $result) {
$postnumber = $result->postnumber;
$post = @$wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $tableposts WHERE '$postnumber' = ID");
//$post_title = substr($post->post_title, 0, 20);
$post_title = $post->post_title;
//$url = get_permalink($post->ID);
echo "

• ID."&more=1&c=1\" title=\"$text\" />$post_title  ($result->cntaccess)

<br/>";
}
that’s the whole function, where the line that begins foreach (5th one down) is #18
}
