The only trouble with that is I have about 20 different categories and so i wanted to avoid code that pointed to categories incase i add more and then i need to add more code.

Dan

Ok so i kind of having it working using this code:

<?php
//first query
$favourite = get_posts(array(

		'post_type' => 'favourite',
		'post_status' => 'publish'
 		));
//second query
$portfolio = get_posts(array(
		'post_type' => 'portfolio',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => 3
 		));
$mergedposts = array_merge( $favourite, $portfolio ); //combine queries

foreach( $mergedposts as $post ) {
query_posts( $post );
the_title();?> <br/>
<?php } ?>

the only thing i can’t figure out is how to display the $mergedposts randomly?

i tried making a new array for it but that didn’t work? Can’t think what else to do?

Thanks for any help

Sorry i don’t really follow you.

in non-code terms i am trying to do the following:

loop = posts x10 , portfolio x4 , photos x5, links x5

show loop (random order)

{
if portfolio{ do x}
else if photos {do y}
etc
}

so i dont know if i am able to load in this kind of thing:

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', 'posts_per_page' => 2, 'order' => 'ASC') ); ?>

into one big loop which outputs everything in a random order.

I’ve looked around but not really been able to find anything. Basically I am going to load in x amount of posts and the x amount of a few different custom posts. Is it possible to set up these different amounts in an array?

Thanks

Hi Marventus,

I read the whole of the codex entry but couldn’t see a single piece about automatically entering the more tag after x amount of words or after the x paragraph?

Am i being a bit blind?
