To get a list of the most recent articles on this site about “Cool Sites”, I simply type the code [cattagart cool-sites] into the page editor.
That’s it. Notice the number of articles is limited to 6, just as I specified in my settings, and I’ve chosen the phrase “even more” to link to the category “Cool Sites”.
Unzip the download file and upload the category-tag-article-list.php file (it’s the only file there) to your WordPress plugins directory. Activate the CatTagArt plugin, and decide on your settings.
The settings for CatTagArt are pretty straightforward and can be accessed under the “Settings” tab of your WordPress dashboard
Number of posts to list–the number of most recent posts to list when the plugin is used
Auto-generate headings–either let CatTagArt generate the heading based on the label corresponding to the slug or provide it yourself.
Create a link for “more” articles in a category or tag–this is an extra item added to the list that links to the category or tag you’ve referenced with the slug.
Specify text for more articles–change the text for the setting above.

Thanks to those who’ve found the bugs in this so far. Version 1.1 is up now and take of everything that’s been found so far. Please let me know of other ways to improve. Here are some features I’m working on for the next version…

Was giving this a whirl and I noticed that you’re making the call, get_permalink($post->id) but not SELECTing it in your SQL statement.
$cattag_sql = “select wpp.id…
Messes things up a bit. Fix it and you’re golden again.
is there a way to call this from the code? like ??
Sorry Karinne…the current version doesn’t have this functionality. I hope I can finish the template tags and setting overrides next week.
I noticed that your code doesn’t take into account the possibility of non-default table prefixes for the WP tables.
Just change all of the table references in the queries from wp_* to $wpdb->* and it will work with any prefix.
Thanks and Cheers!
Great plugin! Thanks.
I would love it if you made it possible to reverse the order of posts, from oldest to newest….
