Descrição

Please review the Changelog for release change notices and save any custom styling before applying any upgrade.

This plugin adds the ability to put a shortcode tag in a page or post and have it display posts formatted similarly to the standard blog. The posts can be selected by one or more tag values, suchs as tags, category or any other option supported by the WP get_posts function, to show only items relevant for the page. It will also support displaying the post titles as a list.

By default it will show the 5 most recent posts ordered in reverse date order,
but it will accept most of the options provided by the get_posts template tag. If the value of the paramter is an array, it must be parsed by the plugin and not all parms have been implemented.

To use it, just put the following into the HTML of any page or post, use as many times as you like on the same page:

[tpg_get_posts]

This default usage will return the last 5 posts in reverse chronological order. It will display the post similarly to a standard post, honoring the tag to produce a teaser. Meta data showing post date, author, modified date, comments, categories and tags is also displayed.

See the usage section in ‘Other Notes’ for a list of parms and more examples of use. Full documentation is on the plugin settings page or at the plugin website

Documentation link: (http://www.tpginc.net/wordpress-plugins/plugin-tpg_get_posts/tpg-get-posts-documentation/)

As of version 3.6, all features are supported in the free version (please consider a donation):

extended cat__and, cat__not_in and cat__in and other taxonmy
the short code to be added to a text widget
extensive formating of the by line and meta-data line
a magazine layout option which displays the post header and text next to the post thumbnail
a featured image layout option
pagination (not supported in all themes) – This option is tested against the WP themes and a very limited set of plugins. There are a few sites that have reported pagination not working, but the problem has not been identified. It could be theme or plugin conflict. Due to the challenges of implementing pagination in various site configurations, support for this option cannot be provided.

NOTE
The 3.0 release alters the default for thumbnails. If this upgrade breaks your site, download tag 2.5.0 and set the option to freeze the release. Be sure to test before upgrading.

Utilização

WARNING If you copy/paste the commands, the function may not work. If this happens, type the entire command in to avoid introducing hidden characters.

To use it, just put the following into the HTML of any page or post, use as many times as you like on the same page:

[tpg_get_posts]

this is equivalent to:

[tpg_get_posts fields="title,byline,content,metadata"
fields_classes="post_title=tpg-title-class,
post_content=tpg-content-class,post_byline=tpg-byline-class,
post_metadata=tpg-metadata-class" numberposts=5 ]

A common usage is to show post on a page that have a common tag or category:

    [tpg_get_posts tag="tag1, tag2,tag3"]
or
    [tpg_get_posts cat="catname1, catname2, catname3,catid,slug"]

See Settings in plugin for full list of parameters

A couple of examples:

Show 5 posts with the tag “tag1” or “tag2” ordered by title. Display the post title and content teaser.

[tpg_get_posts tag="tag1,tag2" numberposts=5 orderby="title]

Show 2 posts with the category name of “Events” or “News” ordered by title. Display the post title and the entire content.

[tpg_get_posts cat="Events,News" numberposts=2
orderby="title show_entire="true"]

Show a bullet list of post titles. The title will be wrapped in a of class “p-ul-class”. The title will provide a link to the post. The title can be formatted with a css style .p-ul-class h2 {}.

[tpg_get_posts tag="tag5" fields="title" ul_class="p-ul-class"]

Perguntas frequentes

How to I format the output?

Set the format in your css

title – .tpg-title-class
byline – .tpg-byline-class
content – .tpg-content-class
metadata – .tpg-metadata-class
ul – .tpg-ul-class

With release 1.3.1, a custom stylesheet is supported so changes made in the custom style sheet are not lost with an upgrade

Can this plugin select by category?

Yes, multiple category_name(s) can be submitted. The base WordPress function get-posts accepts only a single category, but multiple category ids. So in the plugin, the category name is converted to the category id and the cat parameter is blanked out and the post is requested by multiple ids.

Can I combine categories and tags?

Yes, but listing both category and tag as selection criteria forms ‘and’ logic not ‘or’ logic. So if a post meets both selection criteria, then it is selected. If it meets only a single selection, then it is ignored.

Can I select categories with ‘and’ logic?

Yes, in premium version. See the doc on using category__and.

Will the plugin pull custom posts?

Yes, see doc in plugin for selecting by post_type.

Modified the display of content to correctly parse the caption for images. Note that the metadata will move up beside the image if a custom css is not set to clear. I opted to leave formating to the designer and not change the behavior.

Corrected error introduced in version 1.2.2 when no parameters were passed – the argument parameter defaulted as a space and not an array which threw an invalid type error.

1.2.2

Corrected option behavior to allow additional get_posts options to be accepted. The earlier releases of this plugin only allowed the options defined in the default table to be passed to WP get_posts. This fix appends any undefined option to the table and passes it to WP get_posts. thanks cdaley1981 for pointing this out.

1.2.1

Added option to suppress byline with show_byline tag.

1.2

Corrected typos in documentation
Add function to restrict length of title and content.
New options are available to specify the max length of title and max length of content in characters. The option also includes a code (‘c’ or ‘w’) to specify if the filtered text should only contain whole words.

1.1

Add code to honor the page comment settings. (Thanks to unidentified person for providing the code fix.)
Problem: comments were not being allowed on page where the short-code was used.
Solution: save the page settings before fetching the posts and then restore settings before returning the page.
