vertino: I’m getting that error as well. I propose that someone proposes it to trac that the function be moved somewhere where it’s freely accessible to both back and front.

jeremyboggs: the problem with this is that it’s a different name… thus code that should normally be calling wp_get_link_cats() is forced to be calling get_link_cats_front() instead. Not to mention that any changes to the core aren’t necessarily compatible with that “fix”.

If not, is there any API hooks I could use to do this?

Nevermind, found soln

pizdin_dim, thanks for the info ??

whooami: won’t there by increased seek/search times if often-accessed data is included in the same table as less often accessed data tho?

ie: basic profiles would have to be scrolled and searched for (select in a loop), while extended profiles would only need to be accessed when viewing individual profiles (select 1)

Essentially trying to find the best balance between seek/search times in one table versus extra resources required for joins

Oh… ohhhh… wow, thanks buddy!

Is there any documentation to WP_Query? The ones I found (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/WP_Query and https://codex.www.ads-software.com/User:DavidHouse/Wordpress_Code_Flow) doesn’t seem too helpful.

Specifically, does that display posts that match BOTH category 5 and 17, or is it “5 or 17”?

Also, how do I get the category ID that it is in, when in the loop?

Thanks again!

Mmmm, won’t that be very inefficient tho, since I can only pass 1 category ID to WP_Query?

eg: 6000 posts, 2000 that match one category, of which 400 match the second category. that would retrieve 2000 posts (can’t retrieve less because say you want 5 posts. you won’t know that the first Z will contain 5 that also match the second category condition), then have to go through it to get the X posts.

Yep… but I thought “The Loop” was the main post retrieval loop?

I’ve just rehecked the documentation at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/The_Loop

The section provided by MichaelH is very useful, with a simple modification it would work as needed. However, the main question is how do I use this “the loop” for a sidebar module? Since “The Loop” deals only with posts/pages that will show up on that current page instead of ALL posts.

I’m not using it within the loop… making a custom list on the side.

Thanks for the help tho. I appreciate the effort ??

I just looked at SBM. It seems like an interesting thing, but it performs something completely different?
ie: SBM allows for multiple instances of a widget to be used, while I’m trying to have page-specific widget layouts for each page.

If wordpress is using more than 8mb in a single action… for something other than one-time issues such as import/export/etc… mmmm.

8mb memory limit should be enough for most PHP scripts. Any more than that, and it’s likely a code issue.

Update:
It may be a filter hook (manage_link_columns) instead of an action hook. Investigating now.

Any help/advice will be appreciated tho ??

I just found a section on the post create/edit pages where you can add custom fields

May still need those hooks to make the section more informative (eg: specifying a required specific field).

Thanks for the first part, new table it is.

As for the second part, I’ll look into it. Are the editing hooks the same as for post creation, or are they just for editing?

And can you tell me (or link me to) more information regarding post_meta?
