[Plugin: Post-Page-Associator] Get Associated Posts inside Themes

Hey Francisco,

i’ve written a small example. I hope this helps. Otherwise ask more specific please.

// The id of the page we want to know the associated posts
$page_id = 308; // Just an example on my machine

// Now we have to ask the plugin if there are posts
If ( wp_plugin_associate_posts_and_pages::has_associated_posts($page_id) ){
  // Ok. There are posts
  $associated_posts_query = wp_plugin_associate_posts_and_pages::get_associated_posts($page_id);

  // The result is a WP_Query object
  While ($associated_posts_query->have_posts()){
    // Set the current $post object
    $associated_posts_query->the_post();

    // Now the current associated post is in $post and you can use the template tags

    // Now the easy part
    Echo '<div>';

      Echo '<h3>';
        the_title();
      Echo '</h3>';

      Echo '<p>';
        the_excerpt();
      Echo '</p>';

    Echo '</div>';
  }
}
Else {
  // No posts :(
  Echo 'Sorry, no posts are attached to the page '.get_the_title($page_id);
}

Hey , thanks a lot !
That worked right ??

I’m still having the same at the botom of the page after the_content.

Is there any way to remove this without merging with the plugin ?
I`ve deleted the content inside the file “associated-posts.php”, but maybie there’s a better way

Thanks,
Francisco

In the new version (1.2.7, please update) i’ve added the ‘associated_posts_auto_append‘ filter for this task. ??

You can use the filter i.e. this way:

Add_Filter ('associated_posts_auto_append', // Filter name
            'Control_Auto_Append_For_Associated_Posts'); // Function
Function Control_Auto_Append_For_Associated_Posts(){
  // if you return True, posts will append to the page
  // if you return False, posts will not append to the page
  return False;
}

Or if you like it a little bit more smart…

// Disables auto append feature:
Add_Filter ('associated_posts_auto_append', Create_Function('','return False;'));

Thanks Denis ??

Dennis,

Where would this (the code in your first response to Francisco) go in the themes file?

When adding the shortcode nothing shows with our theme.
