Hi, thanks for the plugin, works great. There?s only one problem: i?m using Language Switcher witch is based on Polyglot, and the texts that are sorrounded by the language tags are not parsed. they look like the plugin were deactivated. How can I make it work? any ideas?
Thanks!
July 26th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Hi Marcelo. Are you able to put it alive somewhere and I can take a look. I don’t understand your problem at all! thanks
July 26th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Hi, I?m afraid it?s not public yet. But I?ll try to explain better.
This is how it looks:

It should look like:

Polyglot uses this tags

And this is what?s not working.
I apologize if my english is not very good.
Thanks for your quick response!
July 26th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Mm… I don’t know… sorry!
All I do is print out the post_title!, do you know if Polyglot (I have never worked with) repeat it for each language?
ah! I am spanish, my english is worst than yours
July 26th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Ahh entonces va a ser mas f?cil esto :). Soy de Argentina, Buenos Aires. La verdad no tengo ni idea por que Language Switcher me traduce las otras secciones de mi wordpress, y esta que esta armada con tu plugin no. Tambi?n habia probado el plugin Latest From Each Category de dagondesign.com y me paso lo mismo. Si me escribis un email te puedo pasar un usuario y contrase?a para que veas como esta quedando el blog. Esto es lo ultimo que me falta para terminar de armarlo, y aunque al principio va a salir solo en espa?ol, quiero dejarlo bien para cuando se agreguen los otros idiomas.
Abrazo
July 27th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
Please Marcelo test it now, now it should work with Polyglot!
July 27th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Thanks Fruco!!!! It worked perfectly! Now texts change when I switch the language.
Lots of hours saved!
The best category plugin by far…
July 27th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Just one tip for internationalized category creation
for translated names should use:
[lang_en]News[/lang_en][lang_es]Noticias[/lang_es]instead of
<lang_en>News</lang_en><lang_es>Noticias</lang_es>otherwise it won?t work for category names.
July 28th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Thanks for the plugin. Just wondering - Is there an easy way to include category description and the date of the post? I tried playing around with it to get these included, but my PHP skills are beyond poor.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:46 am
Should be easy, if you couldn’t do it yet, let me know and I’ll help you!

hello
I’m interested in your plugin.
but i am a beginner … I am ok with the first steps : I have downloaded it and activated it in the “plugins” thumbnail in my admin interface.
But it doesn’t show anywhere, as if i had done nothing.
Would you take some time to help me with that ?
thanks a lot
September 4th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Would it be possible to make the plugin arrange posts by subcategories? I have topics in some subcategories which are quite specific for that particular subcategory. For example, posts in “photography -> digital” are quite different from the ones in “photography -> film”. It would be nice if we could have an option to list posts only in the exact category where it was published. Unfortunaetly I don’t have the skills to do it myself

Hi Astrobobo!
I am busy right now, but I will try to sort it out for you as soon as I am free!
Thanks

September 6th, 2007 at 3:19 am
Hi, I very much appreciate the plugin you created. I have one question though. My Wordpress is setup currently with multiple PAGES. Now I’ve been trying to find a way to put Posts on those pages, but you cant as that is a limitation with WordPress. However, is there a way to use a script/plugin similar to this one that can list posts from specific categories on specific pages? Let me know. Thanks
September 6th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Hi Neil! There is always at least one way to build a pluggin that do whatever you need… but unfortunately I am very busy to build everything people is asking me… anyway, you can edit my pluggin and spcify from which category do you want to show the posts, and then copy-paste the pluggin as many categories you have… Thanks!

Hi Neil,
Great plugin, one question, how can I get the plugin to only show the posts of one category?
thanks
Robert
September 20th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
Hi, Thanks!
You can edit it easily. Change the “Select post_id FROM $wpdb->post2cat WHERE category_id =$posts->cat_ID” for the next one: “Select post_id FROM $wpdb->post2cat WHERE category_id=X” where X is the ID of the category you want to show.
Let me know if you have any problem.
September 21st, 2007 at 11:02 am
Hi Neil,
Thanks for that, if I do that I can only use this script to show posts from one category.
This is what I would like to do, when in one category, show all posts in that category in the sidebar, then when in another category show posts in the sidebar only belonging to the category that the visitor is in.
In other words, how can I make this dynamic, so it reads the catid from the page it is on and feeds that into the script.
Thanks for your reply, if this can be fixed, man I will buy you your beer for sure!
thanks
Robert
September 21st, 2007 at 11:30 am
True, hehe!
Should exists a function to get the category from the page is on… try this function “get_category_by_path()” from the category.php
if not, you can do a simple thing, on your uri structure, choose to show the category, then split the url and having the name you can know the ID easily with “get_cat_ID”…
Sorry I don’t do it but I am very busy with other stuff!
I hope it helps!

All the best,

September 21st, 2007 at 2:15 pm
I don’t think this plays nice with wordpress 2.3 - seemed to create a lot of errors and eventually made some posts lose their categories even without calling the plugin. I could only fix it by disabling the plugin even though I had no page using it.
September 21st, 2007 at 2:48 pm
I don’t know, I have tested only with wordpress up to 2.2….
Sorry, I will try to sort it out as soon as I can!

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:34 am
Hi There .. with the template I use links do not show in bold, therefore my Categories are not being distinguished from the posts by showing in bold. Can you provide me with a code to indent the posts instead?
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Hi Rachel,
you can edit the plugin easily if you now a bit of html,
Categories are shown on this line:
<li><strong><a href= . get_category_link(posts->cat_ID) .> . apply_filters(list_cats, posts->cat_name, $posts) . </a></strong></li>and Posts:
<li><a href= . get_permalink(arcresult->ID) . > . apply_filters(the_title, arcresult->post_title) . </a></li>
I hope it helps u!
November 2nd, 2007 at 2:10 pm
I know HTML but not PHP so thanks for that.
November 8th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
I’d love to see an update for 2.3 as well. This is exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for.
I’m not a huge fan of ‘me too’ism except that you have no other way of knowing how desirable your plugin is.
Cheers

Like Robert Feddes above, I want to know:
How can I make this dynamic, so it reads the catid from the page it is on and feeds that into the script?
David (Frucomerci) replied:
To get the category from the page is on? try this function ?get_category_by_path()? from category.php. If not, on your uri structure, choose to show the category, then split the url and having the name you can know the ID easily with ?get_cat_ID??
I added
to category.php, but that showed nothing, so I replaced it with, but that still showed nothing, so I think that means the function won’t work within the posts-by-category code.My Options - Permalinks are set to include the category in the uri/url.
How do I split the url to extract only the cat name?
How do I code to convert the name to a cat_ID?
php get_cat_ID(name)?
Thanks.
I look forward to Wordpress having this functionality, thanks to your plugin.

I tried to include code in the above (within

November 12th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Finally - I had added spaces around the greater than and less than signs, which usually gets the code treated as not-code, since no code has spaces by the greater/lesser brackets, but it was eliminated, so I’ll repeat it here.
I added
?php get_category_by_path(); ?
to category.php, but that showed nothing, so I replaced it with
?php echo get_category_by_path(); ?
, but that still showed nothing, so I think that means the function won?t work within the postsbycategory.php either.
November 12th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
P.S.
I’m using WP 2.3.1 and your brand new Posts-by-Category 3.0 for WP 2.3.
November 17th, 2007 at 1:40 am
Is there a way to limit the number of posts under each category? For example, I want to list only the most recent 10 posts. Thank you. This is a very good plugin. Easiest to use and does what it promises.
November 17th, 2007 at 4:44 am
If you want to have the recent 10 posts, you need to change the Sql query string,
put this:
If your plugin is for < 2.3
$arcresults = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT *, COUNT( `ID` ) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' AND ID IN (Select post_id FROM $wpdb->post2cat WHERE category_id =$posts->cat_ID) GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0 , 10;");if is for => 2.3
$arcresults = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT *, COUNT( `ID` ) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' AND ID IN (Select object_id FROM {$tp}term_relationships, {$tp}terms WHERE {$tp}term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id =" . $posts->term_id . ") GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0 , 10;");Should work!
November 17th, 2007 at 5:59 am
Yes, that worked. Thank you!!
November 17th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Little question: Is there a way to not show empty categories? thanks in advance!
Y muy buen trabajo
November 19th, 2007 at 4:28 am
Hi, when I tried activating this plugin, it gave me the following error above each post:
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in (the postsbycategory PHP filename) on line 114.”
Line 114 is: foreach ( $arcresults as $arcresult ) {
How do I fix it? The plugin works, but the error is a big deal, especially since it repeats itself 3 times per post!
Thanks for any help/suggestions, I’m new at this!
November 19th, 2007 at 8:45 am
Javier: I will take a look as soon as possible, but if the categorie is empty, why do you have it?
Melissa: Put this before the line 114
if (is_array($results) || is_object($results)){don’t forget to close the } (just before $the_output .= ”;)
November 19th, 2007 at 11:01 pm
Hi, thanks so much! That fixed it, but I have another question…it shows only a list of the categories, and not the posts within each category, even though the posts exist. I’m sure the fix is very simple but I don’t know what to do…
November 20th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Melissa, try changing:
if (is_array($results) || is_object($results)){
for
if (is_array($arcresults ) || is_object($arcresults )){
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:03 pm
I was curious if you could show how to indent the subcategories so there is a heirarchy. I figured out how to adjust my list so that my categories are h3 headings and the unordered list begins after that, but it just lists all my categories in one big list, even though some have subcategories. Is there a way to account for this in the display? I’m not that well-versed in PHP.
Thanks!
November 24th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Hi
I don’t know if anyone had this problem:
In the term_taxonomy table the term_taxonomy_id and the term_id are not always the same number. I think the selection in the plugin presumes that they are equalled.
for example in my term_taxonomy table they are equal until 19 but from there:
term_taxonomy_id: 21,22,23,24,40,26
term_id: 20,21,22,23,38,24
The term_id : 20 is a category here. And nothing shows up in the final page. Why?…
When the plugin makes the selection by this:
term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id =” . $posts->term_id . ”
it looks for term_taxonomy_id=20 but it should look for 21…
(I don’t know if I’m clear enough..)
I came up with this but I’m little-more-than-beginner in mysql/php:
I changed this:
term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id =” . $posts->term_id . ”
to this:
term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id =(Select term_taxonomy_id FROM {$tp}term_taxonomy WHERE term_id=” . $posts->term_id . “)
If there’s a better solution for security/performance reasons please post it.
Sorry for the long post…

Is it possible for your plugin to do the same thing but list posts by Year Headings?

Great plugin, so thanks! Quick question:
I want a page listing only the categories that currently have posts in them.
I don’t want links to the individual posts, just to the categories.
I don’t want links to categories that are empty (like “Uncategorized”).
Can I edit the plugin to do this? Thank you!

Excellent plugin - thank you. I’m having trouble on this site: http://brownfields-development.com/site-map/ Not all of the posts for the category are being shown.
I am running WP2.3 and used the correct plugin (although both seem to have the same version #?)

Hi there,
Do you know how I could list the posts of one particular category only, as opposed to posts from all the categories?
Thanks.
January 2nd, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Hi, I would also like to know how I can list a post of one category instead of all. You have described it in version 2.2 before but I’m using 2.3. Which lines should I change?
Thanks a lot your plugin is one of the most useful out there!

Hi,
thanks for the plugin!
on my website Kicktopia.com, on the right you can see I’m using your plug-in. However, under the heading JB, it is displaying posts from a different category which makes no sense. It also doesn’t display the post found at the top of the page which is filed under the JB category.
how do I fix this, i need help urgently!
thanks!

Chris Masse and Nick, the easiest way to do it is put this after “foreach ($last_posts as $posts)”:
if (apply_filters(’list_cats’, $posts->name, $posts) = “CATEGORY_NAME”) {
//actual code
}
Close it after $the_output .= ”;
I haven’t tried but shoud works, :p
January 4th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Bryce, no idea what is going on with your navigation man, is weird! Why only happens with JB and New Balance and the rest are fine?
You should take a look to the database and the two sqls to print out the posts
$last_posts = (array)$wpdb->get_results……. catch the categories
$arcresults = $wpdb->get_results(”……….. catch posts from one category

Hi Frucomerci, I’m no wiz with PHP so I couldn’t find any problem with it.

January 9th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Nice code. I need to tweak it so that it only displays a list of the posts in the current category. Not on an archive page, but on a single post page. I’m displaying the list in a sidebar.
I read through the comments and there are some people who were wanting to do the same thing, but a solution was never really given clearly. And if it was, I missed it.
So… how do you do it? What needs to be tweaked?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I’ve still got problems with the posts that are showing up for the two categories that I’ve chosen to display.
The category ‘Articles’ should have 11 posts - instead 2 posts from the ‘Theatre’ category are appearing there.
The category Reviews should have 11 posts - instead 10 posts from the ‘Articles’ category are appearing there. Only 1 post is showing up correctly.
Any ideas how to sort this out? Would using the Cat ID be any better at matching the correct posts to the correct category?
Thanks

#mtchairs ,
Man, I don’t know what is going on with this new version of WP, for some people the plugin runs fine, for some not.
Yes, may be try that, change the Cat ID instead of the Name, my strength is not PHP, what I do, is play with the database fields and functions from WP until something works.
Sorry but I am very busy and also I don’t have 2.3 installed on my blog…

Hi, this is a very handy plugin that I use for my blog, I think the idea of using it for a site with uncategoriezed posts is a cool little hack that i have blog it would be really good for. Thanks!

Hello:
The plugin is working on my site, but I request you to help me in beautifying it more!
I need a couple of blank lines inserted before “Archives by month:”. and also before the “” in the Archives.php.
Also, the entire result comes aligned to the left edge of the page. What to do so each line starts with a couple of blank spaces?
Please help! Thanks!

Please read “php get_footer()” code above in the “”. The actual code was written there, but the system hid it!
Thanks again!

Hi there
I just came across, and used very successfully, your posts by cat
plugin. Nice work! I have no idea myself, but dabble some.
I made a few amends.
NESTED LIST:
I (too?) couldn’t work out where to place the to create a nested
list, so went for giving child items a class, which then has a left
margin applied.
EXCLUDE EMPTY:
$last_posts = (array)$wpdb->get_results(”
SELECT {$tp}terms.name, {$tp}terms.term_id
FROM {$tp}terms, {$tp}term_taxonomy
WHERE {$tp}terms.term_id = {$tp}term_taxonomy.term_id
AND {$tp}term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’
AND {$tp}term_taxonomy.count > 0
{$hide_check}
“);
The net effect of these looks like the attached.
I don’t know how to make exclude empty a setting option, sorry.
I hope you find these useful.

Hi, I’m using the version for WP2.2 and am also trying to exclude categories… The above method creates a fatal error, as said. Can anyone figure out a way to do it?
Thanks!

Thanks, you are very kind!

Hey there,
I changed this (WP2.3.3) to make it render nested lists, instead of 1 very big list.
$the_output .= 'term_id) . ‘”>‘ . apply_filters(’list_cats’, $posts->name, $posts) . ‘‘;becomes
$the_output .= 'term_id) . ‘”>‘ . apply_filters(’list_cats’, $posts->name, $posts) . ‘‘;and before this:
}
$the_output .= '';
you add this:
$the_output .= '';
so that it looks like this:
$the_output .= '';
}
$the_output .= '';

I used the helpful info on the discussion to limit the p2cat from showing the empty “uncategorized” category. Thank you Ed!
However, I still have a problem and would appreciate some guidence:
I only have two non-empty categories “News” (3) and “Projects” (5)
News has 8 posts and Projects has 11 posts.
However, on the page I see all 8 News items and Only 1 of my Projects posts.??
Any thoughts or suggestions?

also….
a suggestion: A way to include the number of comments with each post would be very helpful. It would draw readers to the most active/commented posts.
Just a thought.

I have the same problem, that Melissa. The plugin shows only the main categories, but no posts. Anyone can help me?
Thanks.

Hi! First of all, your plugin is great and really helped me in my site. However, I found a problem. I have limited the posts by category to 10 (to make lists shorter) and everything works fine until I have 2 categories. If I want to add the third one or the 4 one, the posts under these categories are not shown. So basically, I have two categories with posts under and 2 without any posts. Can You help me with solving that? Thanks!

Hi and thanks for the plugin Frucomerci.
But i’m not only here to thank you. I have a problem to.
I’d like to style the current category with css. So it would be great if the current category had a class like “.current”.
I’d gave it a try with “if (is_category())”… but failed.
So i thought perhaps you like the idea.
Greetings

Hi everyone,
I am really sorry but I am very busy with other stuff and can’t fix the plugin or find a solution for each one of you… Anyway, you are free to change it, update it or customize it.
I hope you understand, sorry about that, good luck and keep trying, there is always a solution out there!
Regards, Frucomerci

Hey, great plugin. I had an issue that i resolved which may help others. Please note, i am NOT good at the programming stuff, but managed to do this.
I have a list of sub categories that i needed displayed using your plugin, so i needed to specify a parent category. I added this to line 158:
AND {$tp}term_taxonomy.parent = $cat
you know, where $cat = whatever your parent category ID is. Alternatively, if you wanted to specify a specific category, you would do:
AND terms.term_id = $cat
So, hope that helps. btw, this is a great plugin. it’s just what i was looking for. thanks!

It would be great if we can choose only one category…. and display the posts of this category
