Custom Query by author and post ID
-
Hi,
I need to display a post that has a specific ID (obtained from the custom field of the current post) and (for extra safety reasons) the author ID is the same as the current post.I think I have to use a custom query, something like this:
<?php $thisuser_id = get_the_author_ID(); $main_related_post = get_post_meta($post->ID, main_post, true); global $wpdb; global $post; $querystr = " SELECT wposts.* FROM $wpdb->posts wposts AND wposts.post_status = 'publish' AND ID = '$main_related_post' AND AUTHOR ID = '$thisuser_id' ORDER BY wpostmeta.meta_value ASC LIMIT 1 "; $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT); if ($pageposts):?> <small> <?php _e("Main Related Post:"); ?> </small> <ul> <li class="article"> <a class="artilink" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> </li> </ul> <?php endif; ?>
please forgive my bad fancy code..
thanks for your attention
