I have a quite simple request! you can check it here. I tried to make it as clear and simple as posible:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/197661?replies=1

Thank you!

I did it by using the <marquee> tag, and writing a loop in it.

No ideas?

As I told before… Even when I did it pasting the HTML code in the HTML code editor, it wouldn’t work.

Anyway, I managed it out, by coping the table from Excel to Word, and from there to the WYSIWYG editor, and it worked fine. Weird thing.

I’ve tried some variations of the above hack, but none worked out…

Is someone out there who could help me with coding, please?

Asking for assistance. I did the following hack:

Added the parameter “$for_category” to previous_post_link template tag, and to the casting of get_previous_post:

(don’t know how to use markup to highlight)

function previous_post_link($format=’« %link’, $link=’%title’, $in_same_cat = false, $excluded_categories = ”, $for_category) {

if ( is_attachment() )
$post = & get_post($GLOBALS[‘post’]->post_parent);
else
$post = get_previous_post($in_same_cat, $excluded_categories, $for_category);

if ( !$post )
return;

$title = apply_filters(‘the_title’, $post->post_title, $post);
$string = ‘ID).'”>’;
$link = str_replace(‘%title’, $title, $link);
$link = $pre . $string . $link . ‘‘;

$format = str_replace(‘%link’, $link, $format);

echo $format;
}

Then, added the same parameter to get_previous_post function, but defaulting it to what comes by default for $cat_array, within the if ($in_name_cat): ‘get_the_category($post->ID)’.

Then, replaced this original string with the parameter, so that the 5th value entered when casting prev_post_link, becomes the $cat_array:

function get_previous_post($in_same_cat = false, $excluded_categories = ”, $for_category = ‘get_the_category($post->ID)’) {
global $post, $wpdb;

if( !is_single() || is_attachment() )
return null;

$current_post_date = $post->post_date;

$join = ”;
if ( $in_same_cat ) {
$join = ” INNER JOIN $wpdb->post2cat ON $wpdb->posts.ID= $wpdb->post2cat.post_id “;
$cat_array = $for_category;
$join .= ‘ AND (category_id = ‘ . intval($cat_array[0]->cat_ID);
for ( $i = 1; $i < (count($cat_array)); $i++ ) {
$join .= ‘ OR category_id = ‘ . intval($cat_array[$i]->cat_ID);
}
$join .= ‘)’;
}

$sql_exclude_cats = ”;
if (!empty($excluded_categories)) {
### ronr hack ###

}
return @$wpdb->get_row(“SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts $join WHERE post_date < ‘$current_post_date’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ $sqlcat $sql_exclude_cats ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1”);
}

When I run the site with this hack, the page turns white whenever I cast it. Any suggestions?

I got it conceptualized. It should be like this:

function next_post_by_cat($cat_id = ”) {

> get.category($cat).posts
> get.current.post.date
> select.next.post.by.date

output

}

Easy, ain’t it?

Duh… didn’t think about it. It would have worked too.

Otto42, could you please help me with the other topic that’s bugging me?

Worked fine. DB hack.

Now I need some help with se 2nd part of this mess:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/103638?replies=3

I didn’t find anything about restricting it to some category. The in_same_cat parameter doesn’t work for me.

I’ve got 3 categories: “front page”, “news” and “health”. The index only displays the posts of the “front page” category. But both posts of “news” or “health” could be also categorized as “front page” (depending on the relevance, but it ain’t important).

Therefore, if I’m reading a frontpage-news post, it could jump to a frontpage-health, because they ARE in the same category. That’s why I need it to be restricted to a category by using the IF and the category-forced link tag.

So, I should create a new category “Pages”, and assing the pages to it, by editing the DataBase… It should work, doesn’t it?

BTW, I’m using WP 2.0, not 2.1

Ah, BTW, sorry about the Client thing… It’s embarrasing…

I used already a solution like that, by hacking The Loop to show only posts from the “Front” category. But since there are posts from the other two categories sharing this “front” one, it all gets messy when it comes to navigation.

From the “health-front” post, it jumps to the “news-front” post, instead to the “health” as it should be. And if I use the “exclude from category” value in the prev/next_post_link tag, it would just skip all of the posts in the “front” category, hiding them from the navigation.

That’s why I need it to be done the other way.

Excuse me for bringing this up again, but I really need help on this, since it is for a client.
