Aboobacker.

Thanks Nikker and Sakara. I’ll update it in the plugin code. ??

Create a php file with name search.php in your theme folder.
Then copy the following in to that file and save. That’s all.

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="contentmain">
<div id="content">
	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h1 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
		<p class="meta"><small>Posted on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | ', ''); ?></small></p>
		<div class="entry">
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		</div>
        <div class="info">
		<p class="links">&raquo; <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></p>
		<p class="tags"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ' '); ?></p>
        </div>
	</div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    	<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>
<?php else : ?>
	<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
	<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Make the necessary editing.

Put your site URL here

Refer: WordPress conditional tag: in_category

I’ve configured database tables so that when an user register to main site n cakePHP, he would be also getting access to wordpress admin as a contributer.
Now I need a functionality for when an user login to main site, you should be automatically logged in to the WordPress blog. Please help me.

Yes. I know how to integrate wordpress in PHP/ static site. But the matter here is, I need to integrate the LOGIN feature with the blog (wordpress) which is used to login to the cakePHP site.
So, if a registered user is logging in through the site (PHP), he should also be logged in to the wordpress.
NB: Necessary database tables are linked and working charm. But there might be a way something like matching Auth session variables of wordpress with cakePHP.
Please anyone try to get the answer.

try writing a query in the index.php before the loop starts.

<?php query_posts('showposts&cat=-2');
while(have_posts()): ......
....
endwhile;
wp_reset_query(); ?>

where ‘2’ is the id of the category you wish to exclude from the posts to be displayed.

Add the below code in your functions.php

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
    return 200;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

Increase the count as per your wish.

Hi bmabetha,
Instead of this query string <?php global $query_string; query_posts( $query_string . '&posts_per_page=4'); ?> use the following query. It should work.

<?php
    global $paged;
    if(!$paged) {
        query_posts('showposts=4');
    }else {
        query_posts('showposts=4&paged=' . $paged);
    }
?>

It would be great if the code is purely with PHP, and not using JavaScript. But it’s optional only ??

@iammikerodriguez: so, your code might be as follows:

<div id="slider">

<?php $feat_image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) ); ?>
<div class="content" style="background:url(<?php echo '$feat_image';?>)">

<div style="margin-top:250px; margin-left:10px; margin-right:10px; height:120px; padding:2px; background:url(<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/main-table-content-bg.png); background-repeat:repeat">

<?php query_posts('showposts=1&category_name=topstories'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read full post"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt();?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>
</div>
</div>

Try this inside the loop:

<?php
$feat_image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
echo '$feat_image';
?>

You have got the featured image URL ??

Hi, just add this to your functions.php

function excerpt_abooze($text) {
   return str_replace('[...]', 'Allanon\'s text goes here...', $text); }
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_abooze');

Enjoy..! ??
