sophistikat

putting the code in a function didn’t work so i just put the code in a seperate file and loaded the file multiple times as an include.

#Number Posts Per Category
$category_posts=1; 

$category_num=3; #ActionScript
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ul_latest.php');

I do have another question about get_posts

$feature_post = get_posts( "category=$category_num&numberposts=1" );
foreach( $feature_post as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );

<li><h2 class="latest"> the_category(' '); </h2></li>

how can i say, only return the Parent? i’ve looked at the codex for get_posts and all the parameters point to defining how many children to get?!

Here’s what I have.
Parent: ActionScript
Child: MovieClip
Child of MovieClip: onEnterFrame

So if my post would be in ActionScript > MovieClip > onEnterFrame

i am using get_posts, setup_postdata and the_category to retrieve my latest post, which work but the_category returns ActionScript MovieClip onEnterFrame. I want it to return just the parent ActionScript

just for sh** and giggles, i removed the dollar sign and it works:

$db = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);

straight from WP Template Tag Doc.

<ul>
<?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1&exclude=10'); ?>
</ul>

doesn’t work for me??

I’ve been doing more test and i still get no results. I’ve downloaded other themes to see their CSS and still nothing works… i must have deleted some call or function that its not allowing me to see anything.

what’s required when using a function like:
<?php get_archives(‘postbypost’, 10); ?>

An easier questions is, why wouldn’t <? php wp_get_links(); ?> output anything?

I figured this out. The bloginfo() function’s output did not work with what i wanted so i simply queried the wp_options table to get the blog name and url.


# add to tag: blog title
$name_query = 'SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name="blogname"';
$name_results = mysql_query($name_query);
while($name_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($name_results))
{
echo "\t\t<item>" . $name_row['option_value'] . "</item>\n";
}

# add to tag: blog url
$url_query = 'SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name="siteurl"';
$url_results = mysql_query($url_query);
while($url_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($url_results))
{
echo "\t\t<url>" . $url_row['option_value'] . "</item>\n";
}

okay… what’s another good source for wordpress? i understand most blogs are personal and not based on programming.

I setup a temporary post this my problem. I am missing something? Can I be having a blonde moment?
