Exclusion of posts

  • On my homepage, I have 2 modules. “Featured Content” and “Most Recent Content.” What I would like to do is exclude posts from showing Most Recent if they are showing in the Featured Content module.

    When I have one featured item, the exclusion is working fine. When there are multiple featured items, only the first item is being excluded.

    Below is my code. Any assistance would be great.

    Cheers,

    //Get Featured Posts

    $featureCheck = query_posts(“showposts=”.get_option(‘studioblue_featured_num’).”&meta_key=is_post_featured&meta_value=1″);
    $postids = array();
    foreach ($featureCheck as $catpost) {
    $postids[]=$catpost->ID;
    }
    $mypostids = implode (‘, ‘, $postids);

    //Get Most Recent and exclude featured

    $args=array(
    ‘post_type’ => array(‘post’,’video’, ‘gallery’, ‘poll’, ‘discussions’),
    ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
    ‘paged’ => $paged,
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
    ‘category__not_in’ => array(51,77,76),
    ‘post__not_in’ => array($mypostids)

    );

    because $mypostids is already an array, your ‘implode’ code does make no sense.
    also, I am not sure if a ‘foreach’ loop would work with the ‘query_posts()’ code; try to use ‘get_posts()’ instead;

    //Get Featured Posts

$featureCheck = get_posts("showposts=".get_option('studioblue_featured_num')."&meta_key=is_post_featured&meta_value=1");
$postids = array();
foreach ($featureCheck as $catpost) {
$postids[]=$catpost->ID;
}

//Get Most Recent and exclude featured

$args=array(
'post_type' => array('post','video', 'gallery', 'poll', 'discussions'),
'post_status' => 'publish',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'category__not_in' => array(51,77,76),
'post__not_in' => $mypostids 

);
