Run a query in a custom widget?

    hi to the wp members,

    i’m building a custom widget that will call one post from a custom post type,

    i use this query to call the post but for some reason it returns a different/wrong post,

    query_posts("post_type=myptname&p='.$post.'&posts_per_page=1");
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

    i have try to add &order=ASC and orderby=menu_order
    but none of this returns the correct post

    does anyone here knows how i can fix this?
    is this query correct to use it in a custom widget or i have to build a different query?

    thanks a lot,
    Philip

  • <?php
$id_of_post =  123;
$args=array(
  'p' => $id_of_post,
  'post_type' => 'myptname',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    Adding order and orderby for retrieving just one post wouldn’t be necessary.
