I’m enthusiastic about Dagon Design Plugins. I wonder if the plugin would work for adding short code to a post for the purpose of bringing in content to that post from a specific category.

I’ve uploaded the plugin an had a look at the settings. It looks like it wasn’t designed to do what I want to do but, while I await a response, I may see if the plugin can be customized to do what I want to do.

Thanks for your reply!

Hello

Thanks for a great plugin, but how do I make it display the excerpt (if there is one) rather than the content?

Thanks

Have un probleme with download link

I've managed to get the attached image from each post to display, add the following around line 445:

$id = $posts->ID;
$attachments = array();
$attachments =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . $id );
if (array($attachments)) $attachment = array_shift($attachments);
$id = $attachment->ID;	
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($id);
$the_output .= "post_content}\" width=\"$image[1]\" height=\"$image[2]\" />"."\n";

This works for me, I'm sure there will be php warnings if the post doesn't have an attached image, or maybe if there's more than one.

Great plugin, thanx I'm trying to get it to display the first image from each post. here's the addition, but it's not working for me yet. If you have any ideas, look forward to them.

$id = $posts->ID;
		$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($id, $size = 'thumbnail');
		
        $the_output .= "post_content}\" width=\"$image[1]\" height=\"$image[2]\" />"."\n";

Hi, I’ve downloaded this plugin, renamed it to .php and added it to a folder within my plugins directory. The plugin shows up in my WP plugin list.

When I activate, it, the screen fills with php code and pushes my WP Admin screen down to the bottom. What am I doing wrong?

I can’t install this plugin correctly.

It would be easier if could be added automatically though WP Admin.

Thanks for any help, Richard

Hi, Is there a way to hide the category name? Is it possible to alter the plug-in just to hide the category names?

Thanks…

I have been reading the comments and I am amazed at how the author has managed to take in some feedback to develop this plugin further.

Honestly, its a well thought out plugin and it does what it says and works perfectly.

My sugguestion is: if this plugin had a thumbnail option that could be inserted via custom fields, it would be a cool feature!

For people who need some clarification as to how to get this plugin to work the lastest version of wp:

1. Download the above file, rename it from .txt to .php.

2. Make a new empty folder and rename that to “dd-lastest-from-each”.

3. Place the “dd-lastest-from-each.php” file into the new folder you just created and compress it into a .zip file.

4. now you can add the new plugin as normal.

Hi,
This is just what I was looking for…fit’s like a glove in my template (site’s not online yet, building local now).
I have the first 290 chars of the latest post from 1 category showing on the frontpage. it shows the category name with a bullet in front and then a linked title.From the second line on it shows my post with a customised link to ‘read more’….

Question: Can I get the category name dissapear and just keep the linked title of the post?

First, thank you so much for developing so many useful plugins.

Do you have any plans to release a plugin just like this for comments? I’ve been looking for and unable to find a ‘Latest Comments from each Category’ plugin for WordPress.
