   Is there a way to control the number of posts that are displayed?

    hi thanks for your work on this plugin. i am using frontpage excluded categories to exclude certain posts from the main index. in doing so, your plugin cannot see that category any longer.

    is there a way for me to use the other plugin to exclude a category, and still be able to display that category with your plugin?

    thanks again!

    Thought of it, but the problem here is that if you list the contents of more than one category the plugin would have to provide more than one link, listing 10 categories that would mean 10 links, which does not seem a very elegant solution.

    Error when trying to use the plug in

    WordPress 2.3.1
    RunPHP
    V 1.9 of the plug in.

    When I try to use the sort:date or any other code that contains the “:” character, the page displays this error:

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/bluejays/public_html/sandbox/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 1

    If I remove the sort:date option, the plug in works. Unfortunately, I need the date and limit options to be able to use this plug in.

    Please help.

    The easiest way would be to replace your runPHP with exec-PHP, which is what I use on this site and which the plugin was tested on.

    Unfortunatly, after having put the following code on my page :

    only one post appears instead of the list of posts composing the category n°6.
    Could you please help me ?

    @Marc Smith: The documentation to exec-php is QUITE extensive, so if the problem is configuration, Sören (the author) should be able to track it down (maybe he already has in the 254 comments).

    @bricevp: if you just post the parameters the code wouldn’t get cut off.

    @karimun: something like to be able to click from one page to another without having the same posts displayed?

    hi,
    why I get a error msg like “Table ‘chinv3_stockratings.sr_term_relationships’ doesn’t exist]”
    what does this table sr_term_relationships comes from?

    @neo: this would mean that for some reason WordPress believes all it’s tables start with “chinv3_stockratings.sr_” – hope this link is use to you.

    Hi, I have tested the code with a new “test category” composed of 2 posts : nothing appears on my page. I am using WordPress 2.3.1 with exec-PHP. Is there a problem of compatibility ?

    Well, I’ve tried three different PHP engines.

    Two say the ” : ” for the limit:X variable is ‘unexpected.

    The third engine, the one you recommend does ot work at ALL, even just using the sample code he provides. He is not responding to the comment I left on his blog.

    I need a way to make a list is sorted by date and can be limited.

    Please advise

    And, I am using exec-php and that is where I get the errror:

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/bluejays/public_html/sandbox/wp-content/plugins/exec-php/runtime.php(41) : eval()’d code on line 10

    in response to your code which I have as:
33. 15. Nov 2007
    4:09 pm
    Marc Smith
    

    php sobeks_posts_in_category(’sort:date’,‘limit:10′,17,2);
34. 15. Nov 2007
    5:20 pm
    Marc Smith
    

    It turns out the single quote use is inaccurate.

    the code should look like:

    php sobeks_posts_in_category(“sort:date”,”limit:10″,17,2);
35. 15. Nov 2007
    7:50 pm
    Łukasz Sobek
    

    Thank you for this, but it does seem strange. If enclosed by single quotes an argument is not parsed by php (read: doesn’t care what is in them), if enclosed by double quotes php looks into the argument searching for some special things inside it. There are no arguments based on variables in this plugin that need to be “looked into”, they should all be treated as text strings or numbers – hence the single quotes. To sum it up: thank you :), I’ll post it as a possible problem solver.

    in reply to #29 I have put this code (in PHP writing) on my page, just before Sobeks-post-in-category code : query_posts(‘showposts=5&offset=1′);
    As a result, the post of another category (n°5) appears (for the record, I have asked the posts of the category n°6). I’am using K2-beta-two theme. Is there any problem in the LOOP programation ? I don’t understand very well the way it works…
38. 16. Nov 2007
    3:16 pm
    Łukasz Sobek
    

    @bricevp: I’ll check, how the code behaves when limited within the loop. Hope you read the reply on the WordPress support forum about the difference in time of posting and server time, which is also something I will want to look into.

    Any chance of people able to sort the entries by a custom field?

    For example I have a custom field called seq (short for sequence) so that I can specify an exact order for the posts to appear.

    Any chance of having a code for showing only posts that belong to two or more categories? This way I could list posts that belong to categories “1″ and “2″ but not the posts that belong to only one of those categories.

    Thanks for this nice plugin.
    Yesterday I had trouble getting it to work: new posts did not show up in the list. However, they appeared today, and that’s when I found that my wordpress clock was one hour behind. This time it was my fault, however I can imagine a weblog being written in another time zone than the server’s. It is possible then that a new post is one hour in the future. I think that this plugin should also show those posts, either by using the wordpress time instead of server time (at least I suppose that that is what it does now) or by simply showing all future posts too.

    This looks like a great plugin. I can’t tell if it has the functionality I am looking for.

    Can this plugin post a loop of posts of which only belong to two specified categories?

    As I understand it this plugin will includes posts from multiple categories, but I only want to inlude posts that overlap in multiple categories.

    Is that possible?

    I have about 10 categories. I can display all postings as one big list. Is there any way to automatically display the Category Titles as the header above the list of postings?

    Example:

    Category 1
    ———–
    Posting 1
    Posting 2

    Category 2
    ———–
    Posting 1
    Posting 2

    @#34 – I had tried to implement it some time ago but failed miserably, now that some time has passed I believe a fresh start will get this matter sorted out.

    @#35 & #40 – Yes showing only posts of overlapping categories is possible, but so far I have not considered it a feature to add. Maybe it’s time to reconsider.

    @#43 – Abut displaying the date with each post: You’ll want to read the description of the features again :)

    @#44 – collapsing and expanding the list: this would mainly be a javascript/css problem but is still a great idea for a feature.

    @#45 – about including category headers in the code: headers are currently not in the code, you have to add them manually as this provides more flexibility.

    “#45 – about including category headers in the code: headers are currently not in the code, you have to add them manually as this provides more flexibility.”

    Thanks Lukasz. I was trying to avoid manually adding Category headers as they might change in the future. But if i could grab them automatically as an option, that would work. Maybe a feature to think about in the next release. Thanks for the hard work, btw.

    #46 I don’t want to SORT by date. I want to see the date.

    It may not be in the current version of your plugin, but as you are using the date in the code, having a ‘postdate’ argument like you have the ‘author’ argument, would be helpful.

    See my current implementation of your plugin on http://www.bicycle.net/hub/agency-for-cycling-ethics

    Would LOVE to be able to show the date of each post.

    @#47 – lightworker: I’ll include it on the to-do list.

    @#48 – ROTFL! Thank you Aaron. I just noticed that the feature of displaying the date with each list item is not presented in the description, anyway, here goes: use “date” in the same way you would use “commentcount”, “postcount” or “author”. Again, thank you :). BTW. Hope to see your site growing and becoming more and more popular

    Is it possible to have the category list display using javascript or something (like SRG Clean Archives: http://www.idunzo.com/blog-archives/ – note, detailed monthly archives don’t seem to work but I don’t need them) in the following format:

    Year (click to expand)
    Month (click to expand)
    List of posts from that month – sorted by date

    Is that something I’d need to style myself (if so…any tips please?) or something that could be integrated into the plugin?

    And also, thanks for creating this plugin, it could save me a lot of work!

    Great plugin, just what I was looking for… but sort:title not working. I’m setting up this site to be more like a CMS, and instead of using pages, keeping the content in posts.

    Using either the default or adding sort:title, like this:

    results in this page:
    http://pugix.com/synth/category/modules/motm/

    So far, this is the only custom category page I’m using with this plugin, but I really would like to sort the posts by title.

    does the sort only apply to category names, not posts?

    If so, do you have a suggestion on how to get posts sorted by title within the category?

    I’ve added more posts to the category for which I use a static category page, where I use
    sobeks_posts_in_category(‘sort:title’,'style:unorder’,3). I know the posts are being correctly categorized, because when I remove the page all of the posts show in the default category page. But I can’t figure out why only 4 posts are showing in the sobeks_posts_in_category list. I tried deactivating and reactivating the plug-in, no luck. Ideas?

    I’ve implemented your plugin (great by the way! very easy to use) on this page:

    http://www.brand-forge.com/?page_id=66

    works fine although problem is it only lists one post and you can see from the following page there are in fact 3 posts in the category:

    any thoughts?

    I don’t believe it is compatible with 2.5. Maybe I just need to reinstall or something, but I upgraded to 2.5 today. New posts don’t show up in category lists, but old posts prior to upgrade show up fine. Seems rather odd. I haven’t looked at my database to see if 2.5 is storing the data differently somehow, but I’m going to take a look now.

    If using WP 2.5:
    You can find out the category IDs by going to yoursite.com/wp-admin/categories.php and clicking on the category, then looking in the URL, and you will see cat_ID=# … that number is the category ID.

    Thank you for this great plugin.

    Q: Is there a way to display child categories and posts?

    Hi Lukasz,

    I LOVE THIS PLUGIN! Thanks :-)

    However, I wanted to ask, is there any way to get the plugin to also pull the excerpt for each post along with the link to each post.

    This would REALLY help automate the way I want to set upmy website with WordPress as my CMS.

    Cheers!

    Of course, by excerpt (which I would sometimes also call the post description), I mean the part that you would usually call in the theme php files with the command:

    Just wanted to make sure that was clear. Thanks!

    Well, anyway, it is a php command with “the_excerpt” in it :-)

    Sorry to do this over 3 comments. Really hope you can help…

    Hi, great plugin!

    Is there anyway that instead of having to manually add which category you want shown, you can have a setting where it shows all categories?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Hello, i was looking for something like this. This is the closest solution but i have one problem. I have big big list of categories, and 50 of my categories have post that is categorized with one more category. So i’m looking for possibility to get one fixed category by id and to add some code to get id from curent category page. So i have artists as categories, in same time i have only ne post for each artist called Biography, so i want to display link in sidebar that will call biography with fixed category BIO and to pick from current category (website/category/someartist). I hope i explained good. is there any chance, thanks

    Hello Lukasz!

    Great little and useful plug-in…

    I noticed someone made a request to show posts which satisfied multiple criteria i.e. show posts that are flagged with both an ID of 3 and 7 (mutually inclusive) – this would exclude posts with only ID 3 and also exclude posts with an ID of 7.

    Is this functionality available? Thanks!

    Great plugin. It’s been very very useful. Thanks a lot.

    *
    One question: is it possible to use the plugin to list posts of two combined categories? For example: I have category “movies” (number X) and category “TV” (number Y). Is it possible to list all posts that belong simultaneously to both categories?

    If I just add X and Y to the code, the plugin lists all the posts from category X plus all the posts from category Y, but it’s impossible to know wich posts belong to both categories.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    would somebody mind posting the entire code snippet they used to create a page with the post of one category. I have followed Lukasz tutorial but it just won’t show anything. I basically added one line of code to the page where I want to postings to appear but it stays just empty. What am I missing?

    Thanks

    Please update the links to the plugin’s installation guide and tutorial in the WordPress Plugin Directory, and in the readme.txt. The links now link to an old site. I still was not able to find the tutorial, but at least with this page i can start using your plugin.

    Thanks for this great plugin.

    I’m using it to create category pages with custom content along with the listings then post sub-category listings in the page as well.

    It’s working great!

    A future feature request be to include the post except with the title.

    Cheers!

     Hi Sobek,

     I have just installed your plugin – thanks very much for making it available. I did notice one problem with it; I have posts which belong to multiple categories, and if I use your plugin to list two or more categories, some posts show up multiple times (i.e. once for each category). This problem can be fixed by adding the term “GROUP BY {$wp_tp}posts.ID” to the MySQL query in the plugin.

     Best wishes,

     Tim

     Hi Sobek,

     From description this plugin is exactly what I was looking for.

     But, I cant’ figure out how to use it.

     The example above requires category “numbers” to be entered and there are no numbers associated with current categories that I can find – only text description.

     Just for fun, I tried a lot of numbers, 0 1 2 3 4 5… nothing displays.

     Would love to see an example of how to get this to work.
     Thank you, Stephen

     Hello and good day! I am currently using this plugin to archive my stories. But some stories I wrote with someone and since I can add the author in the tag, I thought it would work. It did but it never shows multiple authors. Is there any solution to this? Thanks.

     The plugin is great but I am having one small issue. I have 2 posts categories and when I try to list one of them it also lists the the categories under the post list. For example it’ll display like this:

     CATEGORY 1 NAME

     -Post Link 1
     -Post Link 2
     -Post Link 3
     -Post Link 4
     -Category Link 1
     -Category Link 2

     I do not want those category links at the bottom, how can I remove them? Thanks.

     Is this plugin still actively maintained? I use it on my site, but I find that only the plain vanilla call works. E.g., the call sobeks_posts_in_category(32) works, but sobeks_posts_in_category(‘limit:5′,32) does not. In fact, the latter call messes up the site.

     Is any one else having an issue with the “limit:x”, or is there another way of susng it that is not documented?

     TIA

     One more thing, it also displays pages mixed with the posts, when I only want to display posts.

     Hello, I am developing a blog and I am implementing your plugin it in. Developing the blog I came across a small problem in mysql query plugin. At the end of query “… ($) wp_tp posts.post_date <NOW () ORDER BY …" this causes a minor inconvenience will be shown for only the posts from yesterday, and a newly published post will not be listed!
     Tried to solve the problem changing the sign (< less) to (<= less or equal) but strangely did not work, so I ended up removing this last where clause and it worked fine!
     I hope this to be repaired in later versions so that this does not happen with other developers (it took me so long to find this problem)
     Thank you.

     Hi, I can’t get the point where is my problem, maybe you’l help me:
     I have listed my old categories posts and it was working perfectly, but now I have created new category and new posts there and it doesn’t show them. I can list old categories post as much times as I want, but the new one is not working. Maybe there is a limit of categories which could be listed..?

     Hello, Łukasz. Are you still alive?

     I’ve found quiet a lot of references to the problem of the Posts in Category plugin also listing pages… and now it’s happening to me.

     It’s used five times in a single page, yet only the fifth appearance lists posts AND pages. Just in case, the category used is #1.

     It would be nice hearing from you again.

     Cheers and thanks, in advance.

     Hey —

     Does this plugin work in WordPress 3.0? I’m trying to figure out if I’m just doing something dumb, or if it’s a version issue. I don’t want to pull out all my hair if I don’t have to :)

     I love this plugin.., there is 1 quirk though. if a post is private it does not display. What i have done is made a page private with sobek short code in the associated template. only registered users get to see this page. Which is great.
     sobeks code displays in this page but only public posts and not private posts. Is there a work around for this? even the sidebar widget recent-post displays private posts only if the user is registered. (registered user role see private posts and pages).
     Otherwise a creat little plugin… :-)

     Hi – Great plugin!

     Would love to customize the links – change color and remove underline, and add space between them in the list. Not sure where that CSS would go.

     Thanks for any help you can give.

     Peggy

Like my work?
