<?php
global $post;
if(!empty($cxOptions["featured_sort"])) {
$feat_sort = $cxOptions["featured_sort"];
} else {
$feat_sort = "date";
}
if(!empty($cxOptions["featured_order"])) {
$feat_order = $cxOptions["featured_order"];
} else {
$feat_order = "DESC";
}
$args = array( 'meta_key' => 'feat_front', 'meta_value'=> '1', 'suppress_filters' => 0, 'post_type' => array('post', 'page'), 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 2, 'orderby' => $feat_sort, 'order' => $feat_order);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
if(!$myposts) {
$args = array('suppress_filters' => 0, 'post_type' => array('post'), 'post_status' => 'publish', 'numberposts' => 2, 'orderby' => $feat_sort, 'order' => $feat_order);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );

foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
$thumb = wpcx_get_wp_generated_thumb("feat_thumb");
?>
<div class="feat-post" id="feat-post-<?php the_ID();?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" title="<?php the_title();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>
