anyone?

lovely, thanks very much. ??

I have two select fields(one for metakey/value and one for category) one input field(for post name) in a custom search page.

I have written the code for both

<?php
$location = $_POST[“location”];
$product = $_POST[“product”];
$category = $_POST[“cat”];
$catname = get_cat_name($category);
?>

<!– if custom field location is mentioned Category is not Mentioned –>
<?php
if($location!=”All” && $category==0) {
$query = “meta_key=specs&meta_value=” . $location;
$my_query = new WP_Query($query); ?>

<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; } ?>

<!– if category and location both are mentioned –>
<?php
if($category!=0 && $location!=”All”) {
$query = “meta_key=specs&meta_value=” . $location . “&category_name=” . $catname;
$my_query = new WP_Query($query); ?>

<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; } ?>

Now, I need to get posts based on postname($product) and from a specific category($catname). Also, based on postname and the post with the give meta_key/value pair. Lastly all three.

Can I add category_name, meta_key=specs&meta_value=, in the args ?

regards,
Ashwin.

Thanks Michael.

It’s not just a page, It’s a page with loop.

anyone !!

I’m using WP 2.8.1, the plugin is not working. The script is not executing at all.

not working for me..

I’m using the code on the index page before the loop. I don’t want a list of posts. I am trying to pull the permalink of the latest post from a specific category.

Yes I am using that plugin as of now. But, I want to hard code it into the template.

yeah.. you are right moshu, I got the pagination thing to work but, the posts are repeating over and over again.. on all the pages.. ??

Is there any way at all to change the category url structure..

Hey,

I figured out a way to solve this pagination problem on some forum.
here’s the solution to those have the same problem.

go to wp-includes/classes.php
find
if ( isset($error) )
$this->query_vars[‘error’] = $error;

under it you need to place the following

if (@$this->query_vars[“name”] == “page”)
{
$tmp_ar = $this->query_vars;
$this->query_vars = array();
$this->query_vars[“paged”] = str_replace(“/”, “”, $tmp_ar[“page”]);
$this->query_vars[“category_name”] = $tmp_ar[“category_name”];
}
