In reply to: Alternative to Show Category PostsI looked at that plug in and am not sure if it is what I need or not. I have code in my main non-blog homepage which needs to be replaced due to the fact that the original show_categories_posts plugin isn’t working in 2.3.1. I did look at CQS a bit, but don’t see any instructions on what to add to replace this following code. Are there any examples out there?
The following is code embedded in my non-blog homepage to show a list of recent posts.
Most recent entries - <font face="Verdana" size="1"> <div id="leftcol"> <ul><br> <li><?php echo show_category_posts('category=2&scp_status=publish&scp_title=latest blog articles&scp_limit=8'); ?></li> <ul compact > <?php if ($scp_posts) : foreach ($scp_posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?> <li><?php the_time('M jS ',TRUE);?><span class=topicslinkcss><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></span> <?php echo $post->post_excerpt ?> <span class="sidecomments"> <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?></span></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <?php else: ?> <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?> <?php endif; ?> </ul> </div> </font> </td>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: how flexible is wp?See the related post at http://wordpress.org/support/3/13294 which shows an example of the get_posts being implemented to do this.

In reply to: what is a good photo plugin?Now I’ve tried Exhibit 1.1d, thumb-in-post and the king plug in wp-photos. What I’ve now been trying to do is to get in-line photos with right or left alignment. So far the closest one to this is Exhibit 1.1d, which with a little tweaking can supply the requesting alignment option.
Please refer to this related post. I am going to try one more hack and will update this post once I’ve had a chance to try it: http://wordpress.org/support/10/13278Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: GET_POSTSyes, correct, the post should have gone to http://wordpress.org/support/3/13294. cyber-spanking noted:) and sorry for the duplicate post here.
the code which i was trying to display above (or refer to 13294) is something like this:
<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=2&offset=0');
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp();
?>- <?php the_date('','','',TRUE);?>
">
<?php the_title() ?> ---
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
<?php
endforeach;

In reply to: pulling articles into a non wp pageyes that worked! I also found, interestingly, that a call to the_time returns a time with or without the start_wp.
thankz.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: pulling articles into a non wp pagethe get_posts is working perfectly. now i only have a question about how to get the date returned as a part of the post which i posted under a new thread.

In reply to: issues with the finding my posts in the forumTHANKS! but I’m still curious as to why the search doesn’t seem to find certain posts. Like this one: http://wordpress.org/support/3/12922 in here is the word ‘topstyle’ but a search doesn’t pull up this post. This seems to happen a lot. Is there another way to search?

In reply to: inline wrapped imageheres the thing…. I don’t know up front if I want the pict aligned left or right, it depends where it is in the post. since I don’t know up front I will need to continue to adjust the html in the post, correct?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: inline wrapped imageThanks for the code. However, sometimes I want to have the image align left and sometimes right. I’ve added the .post img section to the css and left out the ‘float:right;’. Then each time I insert the html in a post for a thumbnail using the plugin ‘exhibit’ I’m manually adding in the alignment. It is ugly but it works. So the html looks like this: –> <img src=”http://coolthaihouse.com/blog/images//t/DSC06001.JPG” alt=”©2004″ border=”0″ align = “left”/></a. NOTE: exhibit adds all of this HTML except for the ‘align = “left” ‘ which I manually typed in. It seems like there would be an easier way to do this but for now this seems to be working.

In reply to: thumb-in-post file gets tweakedIT IS NOW Fixed….. Here is what I did. I created a new file called thumb-in-post9a in wordpad pro (text editor). I copied in all of the stuff from thumb-in-post9 and saved it then ftped this new file to the server and renamed it to thumb-in-post9. Now it works fine.
I’m not sure what is wrong with the first file — but in case anyone else has this problem this will fix it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
