   @Bruno

   Seems like I mistakenly erased your comment! –sorry for that
   You can get rid of the date by editing the plugin code as follows:
   in yd-recent-posts-widget.php, you can comment out lines 126 and 128, or you can edit line 131, removing “$date . ‘ : ‘ . ” just before “get_the_title()”.

   I’ll make the date display and format optional in a future option.

   Lost your e-mail with the comment. Hope you’ll get this answer anyways.

   Thanks for the reply!

   I did both. Commented lines and removed the $date, but it still showing the post date before the title

   I guess you had to clear the cache to see the change

5. # 5 Y.Dubois dit :

   I just released version 0.3: date display and format are now optional (without editing the php code) -> just check out the widget options box.

   Hey how do I display the plugin in php?

7. # 7 Gino dit :

   If I don’t want to use the widget, how can I display it in php?

8. # 8 Y.Dubois dit :

   @Gino

   Hey, I did not try it myself, but you could probably work out something like this :

   <div class=”yd_rp_widget”><ul><?php widget_yd_rp() ?></ul></div>

   If it does not work, drop me a line and I’ll try to include this feature in the next release (maybe as soon as tonight or tomorrow).

   What I am sure of, is that if you use the widget on at least one of your pages (in order to have the cache built), you can display the cache content (ie the list) anywhere in your page with this code:

   <div class=”yd_rp_widget”><ul><?php get_yd_widget_cache( ‘widget_yd_rp_page’ ) ?></ul></div>

   Once again, if you have trouble working this out, drop me a line and I’ll see how I can make it an official feature. I need this for one of my own sites anyways.

   As a matter of fact, I just tried solution #1 at the bottom of this page and as you can see, it works perfectly right.

    Hi! How do i change the text formatting?

    I want title and description to be shown without space. On my site is like that:

    [ image ] Title
    [ image ]
    [ image ] description

    I want it to be like that:

    [ image ] Title
    [ image ] Description
    [ image ]

11. # 11 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 18 March 2009 à 2:21 h

    @Bruno

    Did you check the “load CSS” option in the widget control pannel? Maybe this will make it.

    Alternatively, you can re-define the styles for elements of the <div class=”yd_rp_widget”> yourself.

    In the css/ folder of the plugin you have a stylesheet example.

    To avoid space after the <h4> element in the list, you need to set the display:block; parameter. Like this for example:

    .yd_rp_widget h4 {
    font-size: 11px;
    font: bold Arial, Helvetica, sans;
    display: block;
    }
    .yd_rp_widget h4 a {
    font-size: 11px;
    display: block;
    }

    I’m not a great CSS expert, but when I see the beautiful integration that some users of this plugin have achieved ( for example http://fruityoaty.com/ ), I am sure you can achieve the design you need by tweaking the CSS styles of the above class sub-elements.

    How to display this in the template without using a widget?

13. # 13 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 18 March 2009 à 18:16 h

    @Erik

    The answer is just above (look at comment #9) I tested it yesterday night, it works.

14. # 14 fruity dit :
    le 18 March 2009 à 23:00 h

    Functionality request… one of the things that would make your plugin even more awesome (beside the resize to thumbnail cache that is already on your “must to do list”):

    If index page shows 3 latest posts… those 3 post names should not appear on the widget display on the home page (only). However, those 3 recent post names should appear on the widget when it’s displayed on ALL OTHER pages (except home page). Removes redundancy.

    I really hope you consider this request for next release, please.

    Thank you.

15. # 15 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 18 March 2009 à 23:47 h

    @Fruity

    You’re right, I’ll develop that feature for a future release. Maybe the next one, because that’s rather quick to implement. At first I did not need it because on the blog where I developped that widget I display only posts from a specific “Agenda” tag on the home page.

    Fot the thumbnail image file generation, it’ a bit more difficult to do (except of course for recent versions of WordPress that already have it!); but I will definitely do it when I have time: I will call his plugin “version 1.0” only once I have this essential feature built-in. You’ll have to wait a bit more. I can’t do it overnight

16. # 16 fruity dit :
    le 19 March 2009 à 1:06 h

    Thank you for considering it!

17. # 17 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 20 March 2009 à 2:01 h

    @ Fruity
    Done! Please upgrade to version 0.5 to get the requested feature.

    @ Gino & Erik
    I included 2 ways of displaying the list outside a widget:
    <!– YDRPW –> special tag to display inside content;
    <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here() ?> to display with php inside template.

    Now, enjoy!

18. # 18 KT dit :

    This is a great plugin. However, I’m having a similar problem to #11 Bruno, only my image is on top of all the text. I’ve tried both activating the built in CSS and adding the block element in my own stylesheet. No dice. Any thoughts?

    Also, is there any way to customize how much of the post is excerpted? This might be a nice feature for a future update.

    And the plugin that you are running that automatically updates who’s using is very nice!

19. # 19 KT dit :
    le 20 March 2009 à 9:10 h

    — for the floats, I had to add clear: right to my h4 elements and it’s now working.

    Also, what I mean by customizing excerpting is to define that the post goes as far as the more tag, instead of by a defined number of characters.

    Also, is there a way to style the date separately from the post title, and/or add a line break between them instead of on the same line?

20. # 20 fruity dit :
    le 20 March 2009 à 10:54 h

    Wow! Thanks very much for the new tweak. Downloaded, works just as I had hoped.

21. # 21 Jeff dit :

    Hi,

    Great addition. But… no matter what I do it always shows 10 posts, even after changing the settings to show only 2 and clearing the cache.

    The other thing I need is to be able to display horizontally in a widget. For example, 5-6 recent posts horizontally on top of the first post. Here’s an example, take a look at the home page of SlashGear:
    http://www.slashgear.com/

    Thanks

    Jeff

    fantastic work!! Need help though, I am trying to include it in my template, I have used the codes you provide, out of all of them only works. BTW you are missing the ‘?’ before ‘>’

    However, I continue to get this warning: Warning: Missing argument 1 for display_yd_recent_posts_here()

    You can see it here: http://www.morninpaper.com/contact-us/archives/
    I will leave it up so you can see and hopefully instruct as to how to fix.

    Thanks for your time in advance!

23. # 23 mpaper dit :

    Sorry, left out “” in sentence “out of all of them only works.”

24. # 24 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 21 March 2009 à 11:41 h

    @Jeff:

    I can’t reproduce your problem. Here’s how it’s supposed to work:
    If you don’t specify the “Home no. of posts” *and* “Other no. of posts” parameters in the widget control pannel, then the number of listed posts will always be the same as your WordPress default posts per page setting (in options-reading admin page). Be sure to set up both options if you want to have a different number of posts showing up both on the home page and other pages of your blog. Maybe I did not make it clear that “Other” means “Other pages of the blog” (except homepage).

    For the horizontal display, this is a pure CSS styling issue. I guess you can do what you want by playing around with the “yd_rp_widget” div’s sub-elements (resetting UL and LI styles to display as regular blocks or something…)

25. # 25 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 21 March 2009 à 11:48 h

    @mpaper:

    <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here() ?> is the appropriate code to include the list inside a template since version 0.5.
    It seems your blog is running in “debug” mode (hence it displays warning messages – which is not enabled by default in WP). I’ll correct that warning issue in the next release. However, you can get rid of it right now by passing a ‘junk’ parameter to the function, like this:

    <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE ) ?>

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

26. # 26 Y.Dubois dit :

27. # 27 Jeff dit :

    Anyone care to assist with the .css for horizontal display? I’m a total noob and have no idea where to start.

28. # 28 mpaper dit :

    That did it, totally worked! Thanks for your time and figuring it out so quickly!

    le 22 March 2009 à 1:00 h

    @Jeff:

    Lookup that site: http://reflectingdesign.onemancan.ca/
    Looks like they managed to display it horizontally at bottom of site. Maybe try to grab their stylesheet and tweak it.

30. # 30 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 22 March 2009 à 17:59 h

    @All:
    Just released v.0.6: it now appropriately uses the WP2.0+ generated thumbnail-sized images instead of using the full-size originals. This should greatly speed-up page loads.

31. # 31 fruity dit :
    le 22 March 2009 à 18:29 h

    Oh wow, just downloaded v.0.6 – works great! SIGNIFICANT faster page load! Thank you. This really is an amazing, beautiful plugin.

32. # 32 Juno dit :
    le 26 March 2009 à 2:57 h

    Thank you for the plugin! It does work well. I love how it displays a default image and a thumbnail if there’s an image posted within the entry.

    However, it works a bit too well – I just discovered that it’s displaying excerpts of private posts! Any idea what is causing that?

    And I’d like to know if there’s a way to make the excerpts keep their html formatting.

    Thanks again for the great plugin!

33. # 33 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 26 March 2009 à 11:56 h

    @Juno:
    The private posts issue is a bug. I will correct it right away, and release a corrected version ASAP. I hope to have it ready today or tomorrow. Watch for version 0.7.

    Keeping the HTML formatting is tricky; I’m not sure it’s feasible (cutting the length of a html string can have disastrous effects if all tags are not properly closed). I’ll work on it but I can’t guarantee I’ll find a solution.

34. # 34 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 27 March 2009 à 4:01 h

    @Juno:
    Version 0.7 is just released. It fixes the private posts issue.
    @All:
    Version 0.7 adds a new “display previous posts” function that you can use on your home page template to show the previous posts with thumbnails.
    It fixes a small bug occuring when template listing and widget are used on the same page.
    You don’t need to upgrade if you don’t use private posts or template functions.

    Thank you for getting back to us with that bug fix so quickly!

    Re: the html – I understand that this could be impossible, but I figured I’d ask.

    Another question: is there a way to wrap the individual excerpt (title, image, read-more-link) into a CSS class? I’ve been trying to put in a little more whitespace between the individual excerpts and I can’t find a good way to do this. :-/

    (Of course that’s only design details, great plugin!)

37. # 37 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 27 March 2009 à 22:12 h

    @Juno:
    You’re absolutely right, the CSS implementation is too simplistic right now. I think I should wrap each item in a <li> tag and make the whole listing into a <ul>. This will probably break the design of sites that already use the plugin so I’ll have to make that an option I guess.
    Not too hard to do, I’ll try to have that ready soon: watch out for release 0.8
    I think I can try to make the HTML clean-cutting work too as an option, so hang on!

38. # 38 Jeff dit :
    le 27 March 2009 à 22:23 h

    @Y.Dubois

    So Yann… if you’re going to make some .css an option, how about throwing in the option to have output show horizontally?

39. # 39 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 27 March 2009 à 22:41 h

    @Jeff:
    I’m not going to put any more css style inside the plugin. I’m just adding some html containers so people can tweak the css styles to their likings. Once the items are enclosed into <li> tags, you’ll find it simpler to display them horizontally (right now I’m not sure it’s even possible after all because there’s an ugly <br> tag after each item!). I’ll be happy to include any alternative css style that people want to provide me in the future. Once again I’m no css expert, sorry.

    Hi Yann, it’s soo great your work. i love this tool so much!

    I’ve just stuck it on my friends blog (its link’s already in web field for your list ^^ ).
    It’s soo a dumb face when the author used so oft the image icons befor the first picture and they were caught as the thumbnail pics, you can see them on that site.
    Is there a function or an option already to fix it in the new version but i didn’t known, or you didn’t got it? When not can you pls write some code lines for it?

    i know it’s logic when we should put the pic which will be the thumbnail at first, but the posts on this site “somehow” were wrote for a little long time ago, and I’m really afraid of case that i must edit each old post to remove the silly icons or move pic to first…

    By anyway a big hug for your beautiful plugin ^^

    I’m having very basic trouble with this – no posts are showing at all! I’ve tried making new posts and refreshing the cache but nothing seems to work.

    This my be really silly, but should i be putting something in the ‘home page tag’ entry field in the admin page?

    Any help is much appreciated!

    I wanted to try out the beta 0.8 version today, but unfortunately I’m getting an error message:

46. # 46 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 1 April 2009 à 17:43 h

    @Juno: that’s what I was fearing. Didn’t have time to check the new version on all WP versions. Sorry, you’ll have to waita bit more, I’m very busy this week.
    @Steve V: you don’t need to put anything in the “home page tag” field if you want to display all the posts. If you have very few posts on your blog (less than the posts per page parameter in WP) it is normal that you see nothing on the home page: it only shows posts that are not already there. Maybe that’s your problem on a new blog.
    @Hardbone: there’s probably a way to “filter” the old icon images automatically. For example I could exclude picturesthat are hosted in a specific directory, could that work for you?
    @Jose Antonio: you just need to include the special display_yd_recent_posts_here() function anywhere in your home.php template, as explained in the Plugin FAQ: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/faq/

47. # 47 Jose antonio dit :

    @Juno & Jose:
    I like bugfixes so much I did a quickfix just for you. Please try to install this version: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/yd-recent-posts-widget.0.8.1.zip . Since I’m still away from home on a tradeshow, I could not test this for real, but there’s a good chance this should fix both of your problems. Please tell me if it works this time. And thank you for finding and reporting bugs ;-).

    @Hardbone: the filter does not exist yet! But if you think we can filter by image hosting directory (like wp-upload/2008/ or something), then I can do it in a future version.

50. # 50 hardbone dit :

    Yeh right i see you sure got it, what a sharp thinking you have.

    I don’t known how it works the way you (php?) catch the img source or its host but it’s really possible when we have an option that avoid to “thumnail” the images with “black-address”, isn’t it?

    Hello Yann,

    Just been testing out your plugin,
    It seams to me that it might be useful if each post item were wrapped in a div. This would help with styling. Also, it might be wise to pull the excerpt instead of the content, just a thought.
    lookin good!

    query_posts(‘cat=3&showposts=10’);

    query_posts(‘cat=5&showposts=10’);
    }

55. # 55 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 10 April 2009 à 1:03 h

    @David Rogers:
    – The widget can only display a list of posts having specific tag(s) on the homepage, or on every other page. It does not deal with category, nor does it allow different tags for diffrent pages.
    – The template function has a couple of undocumented arguments that you can use since version 0.7 to tweak the post query to your likings. Try something like that:
    <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE, “listcat3”, “showposts=10&cat=3” ) ?> to display a list of posts of category 3 with thumbnails.
    – the first argument to the function should always be “TRUE”, the second one is the name of the cache-space and should be different for each different list you want to display. The third argument is a regular WP_Query string. This allows you to display pretty much anything you like!
    …Hope this helps.

56. # 56 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 10 April 2009 à 1:10 h

    …and oh for those of you who wonder what the first argument is for, it is used to disable “echo” display of the function and get the html as a return value in PHP, like this:
    <?php
    $html = display_yd_recent_posts_here( FALSE );
    echo $html;
    ?>
    (usual WP stuff)
    …well I guess I should consider my “undocumented function arguments” are now pretty well documented

    I think your message has been eaten up, I did not get the code. I’ll be happy to make the widget Timthumb-compatible out-of-the box in a future release, so I’m interested in the way this could be done. Did you clear the cache after changing the code?

62. # 62 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 14 April 2009 à 17:29 h

    @Reactive:
    I see no simple way to randomize as it is. I’m working on another widget which will be able to display a list of posts with thumbnails with a wider range of criterias (not just “recent posts”. I’ll consider randomization in that separate plugin.

63. # 63 Y.Dubois dit :
    le 14 April 2009 à 17:34 h

    @Gjiada:
    If you need to have recent posts listed on the home page also, you can use version 0.3 or 0.4 of the plugin, available here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/download/ — the feature to skip posts on the home page was added in version 0.5. Alternatively, wait a bit, I’ll make that feature optional in the next version.

    Hi Yann,
    I’ve been following this thread,
    I thought I’d mention a widget I put together the other day.
    It shows thumbnail images from a category.
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/superslider-postsincat/
    I’ve made it mootools slideable for fun,
    If you’re going to add image option to your widget, maybe you can pull some code from postsincat.

    @Y.Dubois yeah, it was indeed a matter of clearing the cache. It’s pretty simple, I just added the path to the timthumb on line 380 http://pastebin.com/m777e151f – &w=60&h=60&zc=1&q=100 are the settings I use. You should consider integrating it, it’s a great little script, and your widget obviously needs a better thumbnailing method.

    As for randomization, my previous theme Options had a widget that could do that, show random posts from a certain tag.

    This is a great plug-in and does the job really well.

    My question is about your crawler rather than the plugin. SInce installing the plugin, my stats have become totally skewed. Everytime someone views this page, my site records a hit because you’re linking to my favicon above.

    Is there any chance you can keep a copy of the favicon on your own server?

    Hey!

    Need your help!
    I have just downloaded the plugin and installed it. If I would like to display my recent posts on the homepage, where should I insert the recent posts syntax?
    Just like you have them down here.
    My site has multi pages, I would like to display all the recent posts on the home page. Does this affect the plugin? I mean will it only display posts from certain pages?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello,

    I tried creating a teaser side bar for my articles, which only display the full size thumbnail and the title. This works, with a bit css stuff.

    However, I noticed this: When an article contains an image in the fulltext and an image in a custom field, the widget uses the image in the custom field, which in my case is an icon. This should be fixed in a way, that we can differentiate between which image source the widget should use.

    Bye,

    @ Yann:

    This is such an amazing idea! The options I’d like to see added to make it the perfect plugin are:

    * Ability to change the thumbnail position from left to right.
    * Choice to change the thumbnail size used to the standard 150×150 thumbnail WordPress generates from each image upload.
    * Allow us to not show only a headline, and not both headline and excerpt, next to the thumbnail.

    Feel free to email me for more details. But I think these additions would make your plugin look a lot nicer on my blog, and I’m sure other bloggers will appreciate having more customizations available. Thanks for your consideration!

75. # 75 Ferry dit :

    Yann, sorry for my short comment earlier. Firtsly, many thanks for providing this excellent plugin to the community. I have a few comments:
    1- Suggestion: Use ‘if ( function_exists(‘display_yd_recent_posts’)’ in the template tags.
    2- When using the template tag instead of the widget ‘display_yd_recent_posts_here( 5 )’ It does not control the number of posts to 5. Defaults to 10
    3- When setting the image size in the CSS file to 50px, even after clearing cache and browser cache the image remains scaled to 60px
    4- Now how about doing ‘recent comments with gravatars’ in the same way as this plugin!?

105. # 105 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 25 June 2009 à 0:00 h

     I don’t think it uses the full size. I think your site “small” image size is set to 150×150, and it uses that. If you don’t use the 150×150 format elsewhere, go to options / media and set your WordPress “miniatures” image size to 60×60. Otherwise it’s no big deal to use 150×150 jpg instead of 60×60; the size difference is quite minimal. Or wait for next version of the plugin that will use timthumb or phpthumb to always cache the right size.

     Hello,

     First off, this is a great plugin. I’ve been using it on a few sites and everything has been working great. I do have a small issue with the plugin on a new site I am working on.

     It is about the same as #22, Jeff.

     I am not able to adjust a specific tag, or the amount of posts. I have adjusted the amount of posts to be seen under the WordPress settings and it still has no effect.

     I had this issue once, but I was able to resolve it by adding a 0 in front of the number such as “04.” Now this isnt working, nor am I able to pull a specific tag’s post like I used to be able to.

     Any ideas? I have looked into everything I can think of on my end but I am still not able to get anything to change, it strictly lists the latest 10 posts. I’ve cleared the cache and have tried just about everything possible options wise.

     The widget just doesn’t seem to listen.

     Is there a way to use the tag you mentioned earlier to specify a post tag as well as the number of posts to list? Such as

     Or maybe the answer to #119’s question would solve my solution as well.

     Hi Yann, this is such a good plugin, and i thank you for it

115. # 115 Y.Dubois dit :

     Hi Jim, actually this can be fixed easily : just check the “Strip [square bracket-enclosed] special tags” checkbox in the Plugin options page, then click “Update widget options” and clear the cache.

     So yes, I included the […] attribute option, but it is disabled by default because a few months ago most blogs did not use such square-bracket enclosed attributes

     Thanks

117. # 117 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 23 September 2009 à 23:33 h

     This problem has already been covered; the plugin does not display the posts that are already on the home page (this was one of the first user-requested features if you read very far above…) – so if you have very few posts nothing will display until you go over the “number of posts to display on home page” limit. You can get around this by lowering number of posts displayed on your home page. Another possible cause is that you specified a nonexistent tag or empty tag in the home page settings.

118. # 118 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 23 September 2009 à 23:41 h

     @to all: I was VERY busy lately, so much that I had no time to release the new features that have been waiting for a couple of months in my development log… I am also sorry that I did not find time to correct some broken links issues on my site, nor to release the Russian version of the plugin that someone contributed spontaneously, nor to answer to all your questions on this page. I’m planning on getting back to this plugin user’s community very soon. So hang up a bit more and you’ll get the brand new version, hopefully before 2010 is here! – thanks for your encouragements.

     Thanks for responding. Though it makes sense to not display posts already there, it would have been nice for this to be an option and not the only way it works.

     Also, one last thing. Making the stylesheet be called in the body tag means it won’t validate xhtml 1.1. Can you make it so it’s called in the correct place: the head tags?

     @Ann (above): Looked at your blog. I don’t think the problem (posts appearing at the bottom) is a result of the plugin… You probably need to increase the width of your sidebar. I had this issue and when I increased the sidebar width (and fiddled with CSS for plugin), the issue went away.

     I am trying to change the default_image_width and height. I found the default_image_width in the yd-recent-posts-widget.php file and when I change the values it does not reflect on the frontend. I have cleared the cache and still nothing.

     I have however, installed the YD plugin on a separate wordpress system and before activation I changed values for default_image_width and default_image_height and everything worked great. Based on this, I removed the plugin on my original install, unziped, changed the values and then activated. This sadly did not work! Are the values being stored in the database, or am I missing something totally simple.

     Please help and thank you!

     I forgot to note, I have also changed the CSS values, although this irrelevant because its calling the element.style.

     hello again…

     so when I embed this code

     The thumbnail show up at 60px by 60px, the default image values.

     When I change the code to this

     removing the listcat3 the thumbnails appear as they are programed to do do in the yd-recent-posts-widget.php file.

     Now I can’t for the life of me get the widget to pick the categories and showposts as I have set in the prams above. I want three to show and/or use category 57.

     Any Ideas?

130. # 130 rstar dit :
     le 1 October 2009 à 21:11 h

     Well that didn’t work…

     here are the two code tidbits I tried with.

     >?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE, ‘listcat3’, ‘showposts=3&cat=57’ ) ??php display_yd_recent_posts_here( TRUE, ] ‘showposts=3&cat=57’ ) ?<

     Hi there,
     I have installed your plugin and it looks great, but it doesn’t seem to pick up on posts that aren’t in the homepage posts. For example I have a shopping category which does not show on the homepage, but i was hoping to highlight the most recent posts through your plugin, i have added the relevant tags etc.. but they don’t show up in the widget.
     Any ideas on how i can get around this would be great.
     Cheers,

     Kate

     Hi,
     Your plugin always goes to the bottom of my sidebar. It used to work in my other theme, but Kubrick theme does not comply for some reason. I adjusted the sizes of the content, the theme and the sidebar. Still no luck. It always goes to the bottom. What am I missing?

     This plugin looks like it should do exactly what I want it to do, but (on wordpress 2.8.5) I can’t seem to get the widget to work. Well, it works, but I doesn’t respond to any configuration changes I make in the sidebar widget section, and the cache will not clear. I know wordpress changed its caching, is that the problem?

134. # 134 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 23 October 2009 à 10:24 h

     @Reid> I did not test it on 2.8.5 yet. I should upgrade my blogs to that version soon, maybe today or next week, so stay tuned to know if there is a problem. To my knowledge, the caching system changed earlier, in 2.8.3, and I know for sure the plugin runs fine up to 2.8.4. (like on this blog).

     Hey Yan… I’ve tried every single plug-in out there (I think) and this is exactly what I was looking for! Everything is working great… One request or advice on incorporating this within another plugin: I would like a scrollable option so that only a certain number of posts are displayed with a mouse over scroll for more, or a clickable option to display older posts etc.

138. # 138 TG dit :

     Further to my previous post #146 — Some kind of jquery wrapper like this one:

     I’m having trouble specifying the number of posts in the display_yd_previous_posts_here(). The FAQ page on wordpress says to add the optional ‘number of posts’ tag, but the example code doesn’t show it.

     I’ve tried this a few different ways, and was hoping you could post the correct syntax here to get this to work.

     Thanks for a great plugin!

     While it’s great you have it set to not show posts in the home page sidebar that are already listed on the home page — I need to turn this off! In other words, I want to show the most recent posts, regardless of what page the widget is displaying on.

     I could not get any of the non-default settings to work: title, number of comments to display on home or other pages, alternate default image, etc. It just defaulted to 10. Interestingly, it didn’t show the footer text/link anywhere, even though the default is to display on the home page. (In other words, it looks like I’m having the same problems as #157 Edward.)

     Hi there: great plugin, but I can’t seem to reference the thumbnails…only the full size images appear. I’m using WP 2.8.6, and I have checked the that the thumbnail exists (eg the image name with -150×150.jpg at the end of it).

     As the images are pretty large to begin with this dramatically slows the page load down: see http://gilliantravis.co.uk

     Have you any idea what could be causing this issue? (PS: I’m not worried about using a 150px image in a 60px space…the problem is loading a 1024px image in to a 60px space)

     to Mike, see above around comment #56 about how to display posts from a category instead of a tag. And the number of posts you set in the php “showposts=”10” like that if you are using it on your template and in the widget settings if you are using a widget.
     to Yann, or others, I have the same problem in wp 2.9.1 mentioned above. The “thumbnails” are my full-size images. Pretty slow to load. I will wait for a new version or maybe try that timthumb method someone mentioned above.

165. # 165 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 20 January 2010 à 22:45 h

     @Terry: thanks.

     @All: still did not have time to migrate my own blogs to 2.9.1. All improvements are still in the pipes until then (including native Timthumb support and Russian translation, sorry again). Be sure that I’ll be providing a 2.9.1 compatible version as soon as I migrate my sites, and I definitely have to do it sometime soon… So hang on a bit more again, and sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime. 2009 went away way too fast :/

166. # 166 Terry of Astoria dit :
     le 21 January 2010 à 4:22 h

     Mike, you’re right. I put the php code in the template after the loop but before the end of the body div and set the number of posts like this: <?php display_yd_recent_posts_here( 5 ) ?> but 8 posts were displayed, probably because I set the widget settings for 8 posts to be displayed. I noticed that if I put the code outside the div before the footer I had the problem mentioned above where it pushed the sidebar contents down . Makes sense. You have to put it in a container which is styled properly.
     It works great and I plan to try to style it so it is in blocks, like huffington post-style. Sure would be great if the thumbnails worked with WordPress 2.9.1. It’s loading my huge- full size images for thumbnails. I’m replacing all my images with 300 px versions to minimize the effect, and I’m eagerly anticipating the release of the new version. Maybe that timthumb plugin will help. See how I used it in the sidebar and in the bottom (there I want to make the entries like a stack of square blocks, three or four across) Click my name to see http://cannabisfantastic.com
     Thanks so much for the wonderful work, and for the nice forum to discuss it here.

     WAIT! My problem with the hi-res thumbs wasn’t the fault of YD Recent Posts plugin. I just never HAD any thumbnails. The plugin actually is just fine with WordPress 2.9.1. as far as I can tell. I don’t know why but some of my images never had thumbnails. WordPress never made one when I uploaded them. I don’t know why. After I discovered and used Regenerate Thumbnails plugin by viper007bond, then YD Recent Posts has a thumbnail to use on every item! Thank you again, Yann for such a very useful plugin. By the way, WP 2.9.1 is great- I love being able to browse and install plugins and themes right from the admin panel.

     Hi, I must say great plugin. I’m using it for a long time. Now I need something different. Can I exclude some categories from appearing in it?

     I need to use two of these plugins, one will catch all posts from all categories except of that one.

     The second will show only posts from one category, so that makes the second question:

     How to edit plugin (after I exclude all categories that I want) and call it on this way:

     As you can see, I have added the “2” so I think that I also must do that in plugin.

     function display_yd_recent_posts_here( $echo = TRUE, $cache_name = NULL, $spec_query = NULL ) {

     I’m tearing my hair out with this plugin right now.

     I’m using it on my index page rather than in the sidebar but it’s absolutely all over the place. Clearing the cache seems to be completely erratic and it’s pot luck how long it takes for changed to take effect. (Yes i’m clearing cache in Settings of plugin as well as browser.)

     Also, the thumbnails are out of line. I have one aligned left then the next one is centre then the next one left etc. Any ideas anyone?

     Or does anyone know where to get a recent news plugin for homepage like the one used in Zenko Magazine here…

     I see other people are using successfully, but I’m unable to get the specified tag to display on the homepage. it display on the interior page, and all tags will display on the homepage, but the moment I insert a tag in “Specific Tag” on the homepage options, the contents of the widget disappears.

     I finally concluded I have no time to work (for free) on releasing the timthumb-enabled version 0.9. So I just checked it out “as is” in the WP SVN directory. For those interested, it is here: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/yd-recent-posts-widget/branches/0.9.0/ — this is what I use on my own sites. It is unsupported, so use it at your own risk :p

     For the YD Recent Posts plugin:
     I’m using a blog template that automatically inserts a flickr photo and content into each post. How do I set the php so each post’s flickr photo becomes the Recent Posts thumbnail photo?
     Currently the plugin is just showing your default logo and the template code in brackets?

     THe thumbnail is Distorted because resolution was lost when I raised the size to 250. How do I get a clean thumbnail?

     Hi Yann, I’m experimenting with this plugin on a WP2.9.2 site.

     Although the plugin seems to work great to begin with, it updates correctly on single.php loads. However, the cached version does not update when a new post is saved. The only way to update the links on the homepage is to manually purge the cache.

     Also, even though I’m specifying “display_yd_recent_posts_here(5)”, on the homepage only 2 posts are displayed (but on single.php renders, 5 links are shown). Is this deliberate or a bug? I’m using 0.8.4.

     Cheers
     Chris

     I wanted to avoid displaying any thumbnail if none was present so I changed around line 391 to read:
     if($tn_url) {
     $html .= $link . ”;
     }else{
     $html .= $link;
     }
     Worked wonders for me. Thanks for the plugin.

     Hi, I find your plugin very interesting, however I can’t solve this problem.
     It seems to take the global $paged variable starting after the latest post in the page.
     If u could look at my website, you should be able to see that, for the “recent posts”, it seems to take the first post id after the last post published on the page.
     Before to edit it, I would ask u if there is already some fix or not.
     Thanks for your work, it’s really amazing.

     Hi,

     I use both WPMU and WP and when I have activated the plugin I get problem uploading images e.g. for a normal posts. Either it doesn’t work at all or all I get when the image is uploaded and processed is a number(digits).
     I don’t see the image at all. Anyone has a clue what this might be?
     Do I remove the plugin it works again.

     Furthermore the images aren’t any thumbnails they are the larger images but styled with the desired width.

     Okay. I almost have it how I want it. Just one question. Does this plugin have pagination capabilities? I would like my readers to be able to go beyond the 5 posts that are listed. I am hoping there is a way to get a numbered tab under it to access earlier posts.

     what path should i enter in timthumb field ? is it compatible with 2.9.2 ?

211. # 211 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 30 March 2010 à 23:54 h

     @jeff:
     Did not test 2.9.2 yet but I see no reason why it shouldn’t work.
     for Timthumb, enter the full url to a local copy of the timthumb.php script.
     For example: http:// *your site* /wp-content/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/timthumb.php
     Please look at Timthumb’s doc for completing its installation. For example you might need a cache directory with appropriate rights.
     On my system the cache dir is inside the plugin dir: that’s the way Timthumb likes it by default.

212. # 212 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 30 March 2010 à 23:58 h

     @jacob:
     If you’re using the widget, just type the name of the tag in the widget configuration panel. A different tag can be used for homepage and other pages, or just type it twice to have the same filter apply on all pages.
     If you’re using the function I don’t remenber if you can do it.

213. # 213 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 31 March 2010 à 0:06 h

     @Adelio and a lot of users that report this kind of problems:
     Actually that’s intentional. The plugin is never supposed to show posts that are already displayed on your home page. So whichever way you use it, it will only show posts that are older than the ones already displayed: it’s supposed to be used as a widget in your sidebar or a function under your posts. It is not meant to replace your post list alltogether. It will always skip the posts on the current page. I might make this optional in a far future, but no time to work on this for free right now. Whoever pays for it, I’ll change that gladly

     To understand once and for all how the plugin is supposed to be used (both as a widget and as a bottom page function), please look here on my reference blog:
     http://www.nogent-citoyen.com/ — if you’re attempting to do something else well, your mileage may vary but you’re on your own

     Hi, great plug. I just noticed something strange. On my home page all is correct. But on any other page the title is incorrect – all five posts displayed are set to the same incorrect title. The title link is correct though.

     This matches what I seen in the YD Admin page – the ‘home page cache content’ is correct, and the ‘other pages cache content’ is not.

     Clearing the cache seems to resolve, but only temporarily. I’m wondering if this is a bug or if my W3 Total Cache plug needs to exclude your script?

     What do you think? Thanks,

221. # 221 Y.Dubois dit :

     Couple of questions:

     1) Is there a way of moving the stylesheet to the header, as it doesn’t validate when it’s placed within the body?

     2) Can the text come from the post excerpt rather than the post body?

     3) Can the permanent link symbols “…>>” be changed to say “read full post”?

     yours I like it the best.

     Nice to have images, if needed, but in the blog that I work on there is no need for that,

     because the posts are meant to have no graphics.

     Could you please tell me what line(s) of code I have to modify to take the image out?
     The blog that I am working on will have no images in posts.

     Thank you,
     Diamax

     PS. Would be nice if that would be an option in future versions.

     Yann, thanks but I’m using this plugin outside of the widgets/sidebar area. It’s in the content area of a page. I didn’t know if there was a way to add a filter or condition to the php which will allow for longer excerpts.

245. # 245 Y.Dubois dit :
     le 3 May 2010 à 2:01 h

     @Bob W.:
     Right now there is no way to modify this parameter in the function call. However, any setting you set-up in the widget’s option panel will also apply to the function call, wether it be from a theme template file or in the content.

     So here’s what you can try: add the widget to your sidebar, set-up the widget option, save them, and then remove the widget from your sidebar. I think it should work that way. Otherwise you’ll have to wait ’till I find time to work again on this plugin that is getting a bit dusty by now. I should implement function call parameters and a separate control panel. I add that to the to-do list

     I’ve been using your plugin for a very long time now. It’s great! I would like to use it in a new blog I’m starting, but for some reason when it’s in the sidebar, it pushes itself and everything below it (on the sidebar) to the bottom.

     This is a common issue and is usually resolved by widening the sidebar or fixing some html in one of the posts. I’ve done both and simply can’t get it to work. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

     This is the blog: http://www.littleblackstar.com/vinyl

     Thanks for making this “recent posts with thumbnail” plugin. I have installed it and put it on my blog in the sidebar using the widget, BUT it seems to need something changing either in the plugin or the settings. It does not show the title (should be “more recent posts”) and the extract is showing this code which I cannot find out how to remove “[caption id="attachment_721" align="alignright" width="600" caption="Lion and Kawaii Mushroom Bento"][/caption] I have 3… »” The code is showing on my blog! The thumbnail looks great though, so if you can help to fix it, that would be great, thanks! And how do you clear the cache btw? I cannot find out how to do that either, not here or in the FAQ.

     I just want the thumbnails to show. Without any text. Just the images of the recent post as a thumbnail in my sidebar, so that I can click on them and can go to the post. No title or description near the thumbnail.

     Do you understand what I mean?
     It’s like:

     image

     image

     image

     (and no text)

     Hope you can help me. I think I just have to remove some code?

     Hi,

     The settings in the widget will not save. Using latest version of wordpress. Only keeps settings from when I first installed. Already tried clearing cache. Is it stuck in database?

     Is there a way instead of the widget to pick up automatic images we can setup a specific image? What I mean is this, every time I add a new post in WordPress, there is a section at the bottom of the post (Inside the Admin Panel) that is call “Custom Fields”, in there I can specify names and images.

     So, my question again is can I setup that custom image to a specific name by default and use as a grab image for the widget? Here a pic –> http://img52.yfrog.com/img52/5579/customfields.jpg

     I will like to grab all images from my post under the name “Image” in my case.

     @Luis
     If there is a post custom field value named “thumb” containing an image full URL string, the widget should use it. I’m not sure it works: did not test it myself since a very long time ago. Please confirm if it works.

     thanks for the great plug-in!

     FYI, for those of you that want to display everything up to the more tag, I hacked the code to circumvent the default length. the first three lines below are new, and the fourth line needs to be edited as so (add $more_summary).

     $morestr = ‘<span id="more-';
     $morepos = strpos($cont, $morestr);
     $more_summary = substr($cont, 0, $morepos);
     $html .= '’ . nl2br($more_summary) . ” . $link . ‘read more »’;

     if that doesn’t work for you, try:

     $morestr = ‘‘;

     for some reason I don’t understand, WP sometimes uses different more tags.

     The dots depend on the css stylesheet you are using. Please correct your css styles or change your theme to avoid the dots. WordPress default theme / styles don’t show dots in lists in the widget area.

     In the widget option pannel, please configure “Abstract cut length:” and “Title cut length:” to change the length of the displayed text extracts.
     Those settings cannot be directly configured when using the template function, but I think you can still set them up by setting up a “dummy” widget (ie install a widget, configure it, then remove it).

     Not matter what I did I couldn’t clear the cache so I started digging. I was using display_yd_recent_posts_here(true, NULL, ‘showposts=1’) in my front-page.php template and using NULL as the cache name. When I examined the code I noticed that clearing the cache was only looking for caches named ‘home’, ‘page’, or ‘hometemplate1’.

     So, when you’re instructing people on how to include the plugin on template pages I would recommend also instructing them to use one of those cache names so that the ‘clear cache’ function works.

     I also tweaked the thumnail portion so that I could detect the dimensions so that it wasn’t trying to stretch images that were narrower or shorter than 150px. It also uses get_children, which is nice. It could definitely be cleaned up but I thought you’d be interested:

     if ( $images = get_children(array(
     ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID,
     ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’,
     ‘numberposts’ => 1,
     ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’)))
     {
     foreach( $images as $image ) {
     $attachmentimage=wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image->ID, ‘thumbnail’ );
     $tn_url = $attachmentimage[0];

     if($attachmentimage[1] < 150){
     $image_width = $attachmentimage[1] . 'px;';
     }else{
     $image_width = '150px;';
     }
     $image_width = 'width:'.$image_width;

     if($attachmentimage[2] < 150){
     $image_height = $attachmentimage[2] . 'px;';
     }else{
     $image_height = '150px;';
     }
     $image_height = 'height:'.$image_height;
     }
     }

321. # 321 Jacob Kennedy dit :
     le 22 July 2010 à 15:27 h

     Now that I think about it, since the function declarations initialize $cache_name to be NULL, why don’t you just add a line to the cache clearing functions that will cover non-named caches?

     clear_yd_widget_cache( ‘widget_yd_rp_’ ); // for when the cache has no name

322. # 322 Y.Dubois dit :

     @Jacob Kennedy:

     Hey, thanks for taking the time to dive into the code and sharing your solutions. I have to admit this caching system is now quite outdated and the whole plugin would need serious code updates to make it work according to WordPress 2.8, 2.9 and 3.0 standards. I know the plugin runs just fine with WordPress 3.0, but I’m aware it could get a lot of improvements. Sadly, there have been very few donations or funding proposals around this plugin compared to its popularity. So I don’t have much time to spend on it: I have to give priority to paying customers on other plugins. I still hope I can spend some time on it in the coming weeks to release an updated version with some longly-awaited features and better image size and cache management.

     Hello,

     Just wanted to add my five cent to the long list of praise.
     As many before me, I really like the idea of your plug-in.
     If only… I would put it back on my site quickly.

     The things I am hoping for are:
     – The thumbnail image displayed being the thumbnail image of the post. I use nextgen for all my pictures which means that no picture at all appear in YD recent posts. This is not unusal, linkwithin being so far the only plug-in that displays images (but it picks the first image of the post rather than the designated thumdnail, but i can live with that).
     – Excerp text rather than the first part of the post. This is a MINOR detail as the excerp often is the same as the first part of the post.

     @Jennifer: Yes, if the plugin can find the url address of an image inside a custom post meta field named “thumb” it will use that. In that case, the image does not even have to be inserted into the post.

     @Bujaman and @Mo:
     You can probably achieve the grid or multi-column display with careful customization of the css styles to allow 2 or 3 recent posts blocks to display side-by-side.

     @all:

     Version 3.0 of the plugin is currently being released as a beta/test:

     http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/yd-recent-posts-widget.3.0.zip

     It is a major revision with full WP3 compatibility, most of the above reported issues fixed, and many long-time requested new features included.

     You can download and install it, and please report back your experience with it. If all works well, this version will become official in the next 2 weeks.

     For upgrading, I recommend completely removing the files of the previous version before installing the new version. Automatic upgrade will also work. I also recommend resetting the plugin options in the admin panel to get the new default settings.

     Enjoy!

     Brilliant news indeed!
     I downloaded the new version straight away. So far I’ve managed to get the title twice and no thumbnail picture… …but perhaps this is me not understanding something obvious.

     I’ll have another go at the settings and see if the picture can appear.

     After a bit of work I now have pictures!

     I had to add “timthumb.php” with the source code from: http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php into the timthumb folder.

     Next thing in line is the layout but I have no clue how to solve that one.

     After a bit of work I now have pictures!

     I had to add a new file, “timthumb.php”, with the source code from a site (when I included the URL i got stuck by spam-filter, search for timthumb source code) into the timthumb folder.

     Next thing in line is the layout but I have no clue how to solve that one.

     Hello,

     First of all, i love the plugin. Just updated to 3.0beta.. but i got some problems.
     When i add the widget to my sidebar and try to edit the Home page widget options, click save changes the widget is not saving anything.. All the variables stay empty.

     Furthermore i cant get the timthumb to work. I created a new map called “cache” in there and chmodded it to 777 but still i get the message “Warning: To use Timthumb, this folder should have permissions set so it can be writable:”. What about the timthumb.php that Tomatsallad elaborated on?

     Thanks a lot!

     Hello again.
     1 – I need to show that three news of the category GO 5, who is the code?

     2 – can you give us an example of the modification of the CSS for the news horizontally?

     Hello again,

     I would really appreciate some hints on how to change the layout. I’ve can’t change it one single bit from the original layout.

341. # 341 Tomatsallad dit :
     le 4 August 2010 à 9:07 h

     ok, I’m not good at programming. BUT

     I assumed that if there exist 2 options like “Load default CSS stylesheet” and “Image inline CSS Style”, changing the values of those options would make some sort of difference to the bl-dy plugin.

     I’ve tried making changes in the “image inlince CSS style” but whenever i press the “update plugin settings” it always revert to the original text.

     I’ve both checked “load default CSS stylesheet” and left it unchecked. I’ve been to the files and done all sorts of changes to the following files:

     “yd-recent-posts-widget/yd-recent-posts-widget.php” (active)
     and
     “yd-recent-posts-widget/CSS/yd_rp.css” (not active, despite if the load style sheet option has been checked or not).

     No matter what I do, nothing changes in the layout (which is sorry – awful, especially the title and the picture togehter).
     I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plug-in a couple of times.

     The next step is binning it.

     Sorry, if I sound ungrateful, but I’ve spent so many hours on this and I can’t find anything either here or out somewhere else to give me any clue on this.

     @Robban
     Is there a file called timthumb.php in your timthumb folder? There wasn’t in mine so I had to add it. I can’t attach the link to where i found the source code but if you google for timthumb and source code you should find it.

     Good luck!

343. # 343 Y.Dubois dit :

     @Tomatsallad:

     There was an error in the packaging of version 3.0 beta, and the contents of the timthumb folder was wrong. I just corrected that. So please download it again and re-install if you encounter the missing timthumb.php problem.

     I need some more feedback from beta-testers, and then I will correct the other issues and release the production version.

     Thanks for your detailed reports.

     Great Plugin.

     I have however a small issue.
     I use the plugin and the widget “previous post” in order to publish a summary of the last 5 articles.

     When I modify an article, it does keep in the list the previous name of text and not the new one.

     Same kind of thing happen if i delete an article, it still appears on the list.

     Thanks for you help.

     PS: Even using the clear cache button doesn’t refresh the list.

     @All

     Version 3.0.1 is officially out and considered stable/official.

     It corrects all the bugs that were reported in beta version 3.0.

     It is fully compatible with WP3.0.1 and remains backwards compatible with WP and WPMU2.9x.

     It also corrects the bugs from previous supported and unsupported versions (cache clearing issues in 0.9,…)

     Due to all the new features, it will take me a little time to add a new FAQ page on this site and explain how to do things such as -yes, now feasible!- select posts from a specific category, so please hang on a bit more.

     Please continue posting bug reports, issues and feature requests on this page only (not in WordPress.org forums, I have no time to check those out on a regular basis, and not by e-mail); and please continue reading previous answers before reporting an issue. This will get easier to do when the FAQ page is out… soon.

     Thanks to all for your support, and if you like the plugin and would like me to continue spending hours improving it, don’t forget to donate. I spent a few dozen hours upgrading the plugin to this version, all for free. I will greatly appreciate your funding future releases.

     Now enjoy it!

     The new official FAQ page is here:

     http://www.yann.com/en/wp-plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/faq

     It already explains how to restrict the posts to a specific category ID or name in the widget.

     I will add on some more questions/answers to this FAQ shortly.
