Archive.php issue

seriously dude, get out of my time zone…

<?php
if (is_category(5)) :
    $readposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=12');
    foreach($readposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
    ?>

       [regular post stuff goes here]

    <?php
    endforeach;
endif;
?>

This should work, barring any tyops.

(I was kidding about the time zone thing… mostly ?? )

Hahahah, don’t worry, that is the last question. I’m going to become an Insomniac to keep out the time zone thang ??

Thank you

haha, you’re welcome… don’t worry, I’m kidding, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t get some perverse joy out of other people’s suffering.

I mean… I like helping people.

Haha, can’t help but get a kick out of the old suffering game ??

I seem to be getting a Parse Error on the ‘endforeach’ part:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH

My code:

<?php
		if (is_category(5)) :
    			$readposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=12');
    			foreach($readposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
    		?>
       			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="post">
				<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
				<small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>

				<div class="entry2" style="margin-right:135px;position:relative;">

				<?php the_content() ?>
				</div>

		</div> <!-- end of post class element -->

    		<?php
    		endforeach;
		endif;
		?>

Promise this is the last time I ask ??

ah, its because you’re putting the while loop and stuff in there as well…

I mean lets get that right first, then we’ll know for sure.

put only this part into my code above:

<div class="post">
   <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
   <small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>
   <div class="entry2" style="margin-right:135px;position:relative;">
      <?php the_content() ?>
   </div>
</div>

I’ve left out the parts you have got commented there, since they wouldn’t be showing up anyway.

Brilliante, worked a dream ??

Thanks

anytime… ??

remember to vary the numposts= part, or remove it if you want them all.

Aaaah good call. I’ll probably want to list them all, so may remove that clause.

Thank you.

Is there an is_not_category?

I’ve been trying things like:

if (!in_category(’26’) && !in_category(‘3’) )

if (!is_category(’26’) && !is_category(‘3’) )

but getting nowhere ??

Have you experienced this before?

the !is_category should work.. but.. your conditional is kind of odd because no one thing can be both category 26 AND category 3 at the same time.

maybe you want || which is a logical OR…

that way either 26 or 3 are covered.

this assumes you’re actually doing this on a category page as per this thread, and not in a single post or something.

Yes, sorry it should be the || I’m using.

Thank you.

I get those screwed up all the time. If you could see my FTP logs you’d find the same file uploaded 16 times in the same 5 minutes, as I discover yet more brain farts.

hahaha tell me about it, try 200 in an hour ??
