..as he says..

“If you are interested in adding a patch that provides this functionality I will make sure it is gets in. “

I think he meant he was updating, and if you provided code, he would see if it could be added. He didn’t say he had time to do it.

The ETA is in your court.

Thank you for the very quick attention. We aren’t live yet. I would love to send you a link. And will, through one of your email addresses.

For the situation you’re outlining, this plugin can only provide a piece – and only if the “story” post types are custom, and not just a category. For the other two columns, it would probably work best to write custom loops.

So, to accomplish this while using this plugin:

* Activate the archive for the “story” post type
* Create a copy of your “archive.php” file, titled “archive-story.php” in your templates directory
* Add the two custom loops you’re displaying to the side

Thank you very much, this is by far the most encouraging comment I have received.

I understand the concepts you write about, using filters to display only the subset of posts on a particular category, and I think you are agreeing that this plugin will allow the separation and restriction of ‘posts’ to specific people. My technical abilities are however nearing the edge of this complexity, not yet crossing it.

I hope to get more advice from people such as yourself as I move forward screwing up code.

I want to allow all site members to post to two different areas, show the chronological list of those two post areas (“tips” and “diaries”), and have a main story chronological list, only allowed members to post there {very few}, but all members are allowed to comment on all three post types {for a specified period}.

Can this plugin handle this?
here is a picture of what I want to do:

And, ignore this if “no” is the answer above, are there recommendations for themes that work well with this plugin.
