This plugin is such a godsend for quickly adapting wordpress into almost any kind of CMS. I really hope you keep updating this as you have been. That’s always a concern when so much of a site’s functionality can begin to rely on such incredibly useful plugins… but I’m sure you know that already!

There’s only one thing I would add to the wishlist if I could. I’d love to be able to show the comments enabled/disabled status of a post (perhaps with customisable text).

I’m toying with the idea of using your plugin to display posts in a category as trouble tickets, and I’d like to use wordpress’ option to turn off comments as a way of closing tickets - so it would be great if the status could be displayed as Open/Closed or whatever.

Cheers for your great work.

Because I’m a complete newbie in programming, I just copy some syntax you posted on the plugin homepage. However the results for random post function are not as given. When I used:

if (function_exists(’c2c_get_random_posts’)) { c2c_get_random_posts(3, “%post_date%: %post_URL% by: %post_author_posts%%post_excerpt%”, “151 152″); }

date, URL and author seem correctly displayed, but all of the three excerpts are similar. This problem is worsened as these three excerpts are not taken from one of the three displayed titles but always from my latest (most recent) post. Is my code incorrect? Thanks

I’ve managed to figure out things, and it’s an awesome plugin! Once it works on my site, I plan to send a little donation love your way.

Thanks again!

Regarding your second issue, I don’t think that’s a bug. I believe the function that you are invoking, “sr_getsingle”, echoes its result when it is called. Since it is called while the post list is being assembled, that value will appear before your listing (and seemingly out of sequence). The key with using %function()% is that the function you call needs to return its result and not echo it. I’m not sure if the plugin you are are using (that is providing “sr_getsingle”) has a non-echoing version of the function or not, or if you can tell it not to echo.

I’ll put it on the todo list to add an alternative to %function()% that will capture text that would’ve been output by a function and integrate it into the listing.

Thanks!

For instance, if I use the following code: <?php c2c_get_recent_posts ($num_posts = 4,$format = "<li>%post_date% %post_URL% %function(sr_getsingle,%post_id%)%</li>",$categories = '20',$orderby = 'date',$order = 'DESC',$offset = 1,$date_format = 'M jS',$authors = '',$include_passworded_posts = false)?>

The output of %function% appears before %post_date% %post_URL%

Is this a bug?

I’m having a problem using %post_excerpt%. In posts that don’t explicitly contain an excerpt, this plugin used to take the first words of the post itself. Now it seems to get confused. Is there any way to get that functionality back?
