I think JayR102 is asking how to make the permalink show “15” and not “46”. Internal ID doesn’t matter as much as external URL. So the question is, is there a varilable like /%post_id% but that will actually show the #th post?

Thank you for the feedback; I don’t want to use the excerpt for the “page content” in the page display.

I want the page display in full of course, but I want the page to act as a “topic portal”, with the page content on top and an list of excerpts of the most recent X posts under a certain category (to be specified at the template level) under it.

The reason I’d rather not use a category page for this purpose is because it’s harder to edit the static descriptive section of a category (you would need to edit the Template itself) – I want other entry level administrators of the blog to be able to edit the “portal description” in page edit mode.

Is this possible?

It works! Thanks

daniel, is that 2GB/month of traffic? you might want to check out https://o3hosting.com , they have fairly stable $1/month or $12/year plans for 2GB/month + 100 MB space with a laissez-faire admin policy (a lot of room for experimenting with codes etc)

Is there a way to implement this selectively on a category-per-category basis in 1.5? (so that if (in(category(x)) then DESC and else ASC)

google it ??

ha ha, my thoughts exactly.

ah, got it now, thanks minna

you should first know that I don’t necessarily know what I am talking about (but since I got you into this and the rest of the people seem to wonder around w/1.5..), and my advice regarding php/mysql could be wrong. or, since you know what referential integrity is, my guess is as good as yours.

==============

you mean deleting a post field, right? from my little experience with doing related tables in access I think that you are safe as long as the master table entry not reference child entries. if you open up wp_post, there isn’t any reference to other tables, but in post2cat and wp_comment (and postmeta, but I odubt you use that one) there are references to wp_post.

I have manually deleted several wp_post entries without doing proper work on post2cat (so there were a bunch ghost post2cat entries roaming around left over) and wp didn’t seem to crash.

so if you really wanted to be safe, you could start by using your sql rules for post2cat and wp_comment (both contain a post_id field) and then deleting your posts, although I’d think that’s an unnecessary extra step.

options -> permalinks -> write

/%postname%/

next to “structure” and click update or ok.

ta-da!

er.. bump?
