Recent Pages

If you use MtDewVirus’s Recent Posts plugin, all you need to do is change the post_status from ‘publish’ to ‘static’.

Yes, but that would interfere with my recent “Posts”. I need a seperate plug-in so I can display both recent posts and recent pages.

You should be able to change one line in the plugin to get both–from this:

$request = "SELECT ID, post_title, post_excerpt FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' ";

to this:

$request = "SELECT ID, post_title, post_excerpt FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE (post_status = 'publish' OR post_status = 'static') ";

To have one for each, copy the plugin and give different names to the filename (recent-pages.php), the plugin name (Recent Pages), and the function (mdv_recent_pages). Then just make the change oriecat suggests in your *new* plugin.

Well I think he wants both, but separate. Just change the references of posts to pages and rename the file:

Copy and rename to recentpages.php
Change the plugin name to Recent Pages
Change the description to pages
Change the function to mdv_recent_pages
Change the post_status to ‘static’
Put in template as <?php mdv_recent_pages(); ?>

Oh you edited on me ??

That worked.
Thanks!
