Thanks… Hopefully it will be useful for someone.

Never mind…found one. 🙂

I did the ugly date comparison. I guess its the only way to do it, and it works. 🙂

function get_recent_posts($no_posts = 5, $before = ‘

• ‘, $after = ‘

‘, $show_pass_post = false, $skip_posts = 0) {
global $wpdb, $tableposts;
$today = date(“Y-m-d H:i:s”);

$request = “SELECT ID, post_title FROM $tableposts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_date < ‘$today’ “;
if(!$show_pass_post) { $request .= “AND post_password =” “; }
$request .= “ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT $skip_posts, $no_posts”;
$posts = $wpdb->get_results($request);
$output = ”;
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$post_title = stripslashes($post->post_title);
$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
$output .= $before . ‘‘ . $post_title . ‘‘ . $after;
}
echo $output;
}

Well, that is an interesting problem. I will have to do some work because I know people are going to have more categories, and whatnot than screen space allows.

Any ideas? Drop down menu in the content area or dropdowns in the sidebar?

There has to be a way to make it all work and fit nice… I will work on it today, and tomorrow.
