Show Posts on a Page

Try if($page_id == 389), etc.

Thanks – That doesnt seem to work, it doesnt return any posts
Should it be if($page_id == ‘389’) or if($page_id == 389)

My latest code is as follows and it is showing no posts.
<?php
if ($page_id==376){
query_posts(‘cat=23’);
};
if ($page_id==389){
query_posts(‘cat=44’);
};
if ($page_id==396){
query_posts(‘cat=65’);
};
if ($page_id==397){
query_posts(‘cat=66’);
};

EDIT – it works by adding just the query_posts and manually selecting the category, the if statement isnt workinh though

Thanks
Richard

vtx was correct in that if you want to compare 2 values like this inside a conditional you should use two equals signs, as one equals sign is an assignment operator, so it is like making the $page_id variable equal 397 with just one equals sign!

Also you can use an else if, if you like, although your method would work pretty much the same way in this example.

What you should probably do here is make use of the is_page() function WordPress has. They have many conditional statements already set up to use in your PHP if statements.

This would make the code:

<?php
if (is_page('376')){
query_posts('cat=23');
};
if (is_page('389')){
query_posts('cat=44');
};
if (is_page('396')){
query_posts('cat=65');
};
if (is_page('397')){
query_posts('cat=66');
};

Try:

<?php
if( is_page('376') ) query_posts('cat=23');
elseif( is_page('389') ) query_posts('cat=44');
elseif( is_page('396') ) query_posts('cat=65');
elseif( is_page('397') ) query_posts('cat=66');
?>

Hi All,

Thanks this is now working, I wiould now like to use a similar if and elseif statement for adding some PHP code instead of the query post

The code I require is <?php echo GeoMashup::map(); ?> this will add a map depending on what page is showing.

Thanks again
Richard

Hi,

Any idea on this?

The php code will need to go in ‘The Loop’. You need to find which .php file is displaying the screen you want to change – it is probably index.php if it is your home page, but depends on the theme.

Find the start of the loop, which probably looks like:
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>

Put your if-else statements after the while and before the corresponding endwhile, depending on where on the page you want the map.

BTW, I don’t see anything in your required code that will put a different map on each page.

Sorry I dont think I explained myself very well
the code below is currently on my site and working fine.
<?php
if( is_page(‘376’) ) query_posts(‘cat=23’);
elseif( is_page(‘389’) ) query_posts(‘cat=44’);
elseif( is_page(‘396’) ) query_posts(‘cat=65’);
elseif( is_page(‘397’) ) query_posts(‘cat=66’);
?>

I was trying to create a seperate if statement something along the lines of

<?php
if ( is_page(‘376’) ) echo GeoMashup::map(1);
elseif( is_page(‘389’) ) echo GeoMashup::map(2);
elseif( is_page(‘396’) ) echo GeoMashup::map(3);
elseif( is_page(‘397’) ) echo GeoMashup::map(4);
?>

But I cannot get it to work – what am I missing?
The code I need to run is <?php echo GeoMashup::map(1); ?> but I assume I cannot use the <?php tag within another php tag which is why I dropped it above.

Thanks again
Richard
