Drop-Down Post List Plugin for WordPress

i made it work after changing some php code

Hi can you please check my site. the ‘jump’ is not working and its showing all posts multiple times…

Thanks for the update. But what about excluding 1 or 2 catergories?

I have 2.8 installed and can’t get the plugin to work.I’m able to activate it etc, but it doesn’t create the list.

I’ve tried JK’s solution, but I can’t seem to get that to work either. I get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING.

I would appreciate it to no end if this could work for 2.8!
Thanks!

Ok – I also had the same problem after upgrading to 2.8. I debugged and the issue is with $wp_version. After upgrade, this variable somehow is less than 2.3 and as a result, it gets into 2.3 section. So I moved > 2.7 section of the code above the if condition and I commented the below if condition. Anyway here is the code snippet around my changes:

function ddpl_list($catID) {

global $wpdb, $wp_version;

$ver = (float)$wp_version;

$ddpl_type = get_option(‘ddpl_type’);
$ddpl_button = trim(get_option(‘ddpl_button’));
$ddpl_default = stripslashes(trim(get_option(‘ddpl_default’)));
$ddpl_sort = get_option(‘ddpl_sort’);
$ddpl_limit = (int)get_option(‘ddpl_limit’);
$ddpl_before_form = stripslashes(get_option(‘ddpl_before_form’));
$ddpl_after_form = stripslashes(get_option(‘ddpl_after_form’));
$ddpl_before_list = stripslashes(get_option(‘ddpl_before_list’));
$ddpl_after_list = stripslashes(get_option(‘ddpl_after_list’));

$t_out = ”;

$table_prefix = $wpdb->prefix;

$sort_code = ‘ORDER BY post_date DESC’;
switch ($ddpl_sort) {
case ‘date_desc’:
$sort_code = ‘ORDER BY post_date DESC’;
break;
case ‘date_asc’:
$sort_code = ‘ORDER BY post_date ASC’;
break;
case ‘title’:
$sort_code = ‘ORDER BY post_title ASC’;
break;
}

$limit_code = ”;
if ($ddpl_limit > 0) {
$limit_code = ‘ LIMIT ‘ . $ddpl_limit;
}

$post_list = (array)$wpdb->get_results(”
SELECT ID,
post_title,
post_date
FROM {$table_prefix}posts, {$table_prefix}term_relationships, {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy
WHERE {$table_prefix}posts.ID = {$table_prefix}term_relationships.object_id
AND {$table_prefix}term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
AND {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’
AND {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy.term_id = {$catID}
AND post_status = ‘publish’
AND post_type != ‘page’
{$sort_code}
{$limit_code}
“);

/*
if ($ver get_results(”
SELECT ID, post_title, post_date
FROM {$table_prefix}posts, {$table_prefix}post2cat
WHERE {$table_prefix}posts.ID = {$table_prefix}post2cat.post_id
AND {$table_prefix}post2cat.category_id = {$catID}
AND post_status = ‘publish’
AND post_type != ‘page’
{$sort_code}
{$limit_code}
“);

} else { // post 2.3

$post_list = (array)$wpdb->get_results(”
SELECT ID,
post_title,
post_date

WHERE {$table_prefix}posts.ID = {$table_prefix}term_relationships.object_id
AND {$table_prefix}term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
AND {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’
AND {$table_prefix}term_taxonomy.term_id = {$catID}
AND post_status = ‘publish’
AND post_type != ‘page’
{$sort_code}
{$limit_code}
“);

}

*/

if ($ddpl_type == ‘jump’) {

$t_out .= ”;
$t_out .= $ddpl_before_list;
$t_out .= ”;

if ($ddpl_default != ”) {
$t_out .= ” . $ddpl_default . ”;
}

foreach ($post_list as $p) {
$t_out .= ‘ID) . ‘”>’ . $p->post_title . ”;
}

$t_out .= ”;
$t_out .= $ddpl_after_list;
$t_out .= ”;

} else {

$catname = get_cat_name($catID);
$t_out .= ”;
$t_out .= $ddpl_before_list;
$t_out .= ”;

$t_out .= ‘‘ . $catname . ‘‘;
foreach ($post_list as $p) {
$t_out .= ‘ID) . ‘”>’ . $p->post_title . ”;
}

$t_out .= ”;
$t_out .= $ddpl_after_list;
$t_out .= ”;

}

I’m also having problems getting it to work in wp 2.7.1
I’ve set it all up ok but the code

with the number of the category included just displays on the page as a bit of code and not the jumpdown menu.

Hi again,

Found it. It was staring me in the face via the settings options. Some times I make life too hard for myself.

Thanks again for the great plugin.
