Easy Scheduled Posts for WordPress

1 Comment

While I was working on my new theme for thisismyurl.com I came across the need to publish a series of scheduled posts in the side bar and so I put together a simple plugin for WordPress. The tool works like most WordPress theme calls and features:

  • Customizable number of links returned
  • Customizable before and after to ensure you can display the results
  • The ability to echo or return results

To use the plugin, install it to your WordPress website and edit your theme files by placing the following code:

General results
 Without passing any parameters, the plugin will return ten results or fewer depending on how many posts you have.

[source lang="php"]<?php scheduledPosts();?>[/source]

Specific number of results
 If you would like to return a specific number of results as your maximum:

[source lang="php"]<?php scheduledPosts(‘count=10′);?>[/source]

Altering the before and after values
 By default the plugin wraps your code in list item (<li></li>) tags but you can specify how to format the results using the following code:

  • [source lang="php"]&lt;?php scheduledPosts(‘before=&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;after=&lt;/p&gt;’);?&gt;[/source]

    Echo vs. Return
     Finally, if you’d like to copy the results into a variable you can return the results as follows:

    [source lang="php"]&lt;?php scheduledPosts(‘echo=false’);?&gt; [/source]

    Download the plugin

    Easy Popular Posts Plugin for WordPress

    9 Comments

    While I was working on my new theme for thisismyurl.com I came across the need to publish a series of popular posts in the side bar and so I put together a simple plugin for WordPress. The tool works like most WordPress theme calls and features:

    • Customizable number of links returned
    • Customizable before and after to ensure you can display the results
    • The ability to echo or return results
    • Let’s you control how popular a post should be

    To use the plugin, install it to your WordPress website and edit your theme files by placing the following code:

    General results
    Without passing any parameters, the plugin will return ten results or fewer depending on how many posts you have.

    [source lang="php"]&amp;lt;?php popularPosts();?&amp;gt;[/source]

    Specific number of results
    If you would like to return a specific number of results as your maximum:

    [source lang="php"]&amp;lt;?php popularPosts(‘count=10′);?&amp;gt;[/source]

    Altering the before and after values
    By default the plugin wraps your code in list item (

  • ) tags but you can specify how to format the results using the following code:
    [source lang="php"]&amp;lt;?php popularPosts(‘before=&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;after=&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;’);?&amp;gt;[/source]

    Echo vs. Return
    Finally, if you’d like to copy the results into a variable you can return the results as follows:

    [source lang="php"]&amp;lt;?php popularPosts(‘echo=false’);?&amp;gt; [/source]

    Minimum Comments
    To ensure you only return truly popular articles, you can limit the returned posts to posts with a minimum number of comments

    [source lang="php"]&amp;lt;?php popularPosts(‘comments=10′);?&amp;gt; [/source]

    Download the plugin

    While I was working on my new theme for thisismyurl.com I came across the need to publish a series of random posts in the side bar and so I put together a simple post randomizer for WordPress. The tool works like most WordPress theme calls and features:

    • Customizable number of links returned
    • Customizable before and after to ensure you can display the results

    If you would like to return a specific number of results as your maximum:

    [source lang="php"]&lt;?php randomPosts(‘count=10′);?&gt;[/source]
