Latest Post

I updated the script from Dagon Design with options to;

  • remove the category name from output text
  • remove duplicate posts from output. this is useful if a single post is in more than 1 category.
    Please note this is only available for WordPress version > 2.3. If you need it for an earlier version please contact me as it would be great to know someone is actually using my work & such joy will encourage me to write it for you

I have also;

  • changed comments to appear in brackets (as apposed to a full text listing)
  • optimsed / fixed the invalid html tags
  • optimsed php functions for speed
  • optimsed sql queries for speed

Download

Installing

  • Download the above file, rename it from .txt to .php, and upload it to your plugins directory.
  • Enable the plugin.
  • Configure the plugin options (under DDLatestFromEach).

Using

There are two ways you can use this plugin.

1) In a post or page, insert the following line:
<!-- ddlastfromeach -->

2) In a template file, insert the following code:
<?php echo dd_last_from_each(); ?>

    Hi, I’ve got the script from DagonDesign and saw people were asking there the same question over and over, but no answer…
    How to display multiple posts titles from each category? I tried changing:
    $i = 0; // (on line 326)
    to
    $i = 10;
    But then it also displays categories names several times as well… :-(
    Any idea how to do this?

    Thnx!

    Hi, sorry for the very late reply.

    I notice ‘DagonDesign’ has used the features I created in the latest version -but at a quick glance the coding is slightly different.

    However, my code DOES show posts besed on multiple posts titles (regardless of category). To demonstrate this I have created a ‘blank post’ that is in the identical category as this post -but is still visable from the side menu.

    Hope this helps, although if I have misunderstood your question please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Matt
