If you want finer control over the layout/appearance, I’d recommend checking out a plugin I wrote that was inspired by AMRP. It’s called Mini Loops.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Multiple Mini Loops on the same page?It shouldn’t be a problem to call the widget multiple times. In fact, I was just doing so moments ago to help another user out.
If you can narrow down where the markup is breaking or provide more details, I might be able to offer more assistance.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] [ml_image]Firstly, you don’t want to comma-separate those attributes. Try
[ml_image from=thumb width=212].Secondly, if that doesn’t immediately fix the issue, you might need to fetch fresh thumbnails. Try
[ml_image from=thumb width=212 cache=clear].If clearing cache works, then you’ll want to go back and remove that from the shortcode, otherwise the widget will create thumbnails every time rather than using an existing thumbnail.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Sticky posts‘Ignore’ just treats sticky posts as regular posts (doesn’t stick them to the top).
However, I can see how this might not be obvious. The upcoming release will include an ‘exclude sticky posts’ option.
You can allow the spoiler tag, add this to the plugin, or to the functions.php file in your theme.
add_filter( 'admin_init', 'allowed_tags' );
function allowed_tags() {
global $allowedposttags;
$allowedposttags['spoiler'] = array();
}If you need to add classes or ids to the spoiler tag, do this
add_filter( 'admin_init', 'allowed_tags' );
function allowed_tags() {
global $allowedposttags;
$allowedposttags['spoiler']['class'] = array();
$allowedposttags['spoiler']['id'] = array();

In reply to: [Active Plugins] [Plugin: Active Plugins] Menu doesn't appear in 3.2.1Yup – Thanks for sharing!
I’ll try to get an update out soon – probably for the 3.3 release.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Miniloops issue, praise and idea.2. This should be the current behavior. Mini Loops will take the largest piece of the original image for the thumbnail. So if your original image is 50×50 and you give Mini Loops the dimension 20×20, you should get a scaled down version of the original. Same should hold true with non-square images.
I’ve just tested this on my setup and it worked. Possibly I’m not fully understanding the issue, or there’s something else going on?
3. You can use the template tag
miniloops()which accepts a bunch of arguments. See this post for more details.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Miniloops issue, praise and idea.I’m glad you like the plugin – it’s always nice to hear 🙂
1. I’ve just release v0.9 which should fix these problems
2. when creating the thumbnail, Mini Loops will grab the largest piece from the source image that fits the proportions and scale it down. What behavior would you expect to see?
3. I’m not sure I follow. Could you post a code sample of what you’d like to do? If more than a few lines, please use a service like pastebin.com or codepad.org

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Shortcode QuestionsI’ve just released v0.9
This version has a better way of handling the item format inside the
[miniloop]shortcode.Based on the previous code I posted you could do this:
Create a custom field named ‘ml_format’ with this content
<li class="[class]">[date format="F j, Y"]<br /><a href="[url]"> [title]</a> [excerpt length=90 space_between=1 after="..." after_link=1]</li>Then adjust the shortcode like this:
[miniloop before_items='<ul>' after_items='</ul>'][ml_format][/miniloop]If the bullets still don’t show up, it’s probably a CSS issue rather than a markup or plugin issue.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Shortcode QuestionsSorry for the late reply.
You can use categories and tags together, but you do have to use their IDs, not slugs.
To make a bulleted list using the
[miniloop]shortcode, you could do this:[miniloop before_items='<ul>' after_items='</ul>']<li class="[class]">[date format="F j, Y"]<br /><a href="[url]"> [title]</a> [excerpt length=90 space_between=1 after="..." after_link=1]</li>[/miniloop]However, because of some of the processing that WP applies to the post content, sometimes there are rendering errors.
Sorry for the really late reply.
Version 0.8 should fix that problem.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] CSS StylingIt looks like you’re using a bunch of ‘
‘ tags to prevent the images from staggering – I think this is why you having bigger gaps following longer titles.
Try removing the<br />tags and adding this to your CSS:.randomposts ul li, .recentposts ul li { overflow:hidden; }There appears to be a broken
divtag surrounding the random posts (missing “>”)<div class="randomposts"Fixing that should fix the bullet point issue.
Advanced image options and HTML markup control are both available in Mini Loops, I recommend checking it out.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] CSS StylingYou might have more success looking at the source code, or using a tool like Firebug or the Developer Tools built into the webkit browsers to get the actual classes/ids surrounding the Mini Loops output.
Since there is so much variation in themes, it’s hard say what change is needed to make the CSS work correctly. There could be other styles with more specific selectors that take priority over the above styles.
If you can provide a link to the site in question, I can take a look.

In reply to: [Mini Loops] [Plugin: Mini Loops] Adding Title To Template TagsI apologize, I totally brain-glitched….
The “title” (and hide_title) argument only gets used with the actual widget – it’s ignored in the template tag output. The idea being that if you’re adding the template tag to your theme, you can simply add your heading html a long with it.
<h3>Your Title</h3> <?php miniloops( $args ); ?>
