Customise related posts output (works already, needs adapting)
Not too fussed which one is used, but Microkid's related posts looks like the best option.
Here's the code we're using to output at the moment - I need this substituted to work with Microkid's output.
///Custom functions used:
function wcs_build_tag_list_icononly()
{
$output = '';
$tags = get_the_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag)
{
$tag_link = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
$tag_name = $tag->name;
$tag_slug = $tag->slug;
$output .= '<span class="flag">';
$output .= '<img src="/_assets/img/icons/flags/16/' . $tag_slug . '.png" /></span>';
}
return $output;
}///Actual code
<?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>
<aside class="related-posts" class="group">
<h3>Related Ideas</h3>
<ol>
<?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a class="image-crop" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumb-size' ); ?></a>
</a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="title-area" rel="bookmark">
<?php //Get country tag
$tag_list = wcs_build_tag_list_icononly();
$utility_text = __( '%2$s', 'toolbox' );
printf(
$utility_text,
get_the_category_list( ', ' ),
$tag_list,
get_permalink(),
the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' )
);
?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
</aside>
<?php endif; ?>And here's what the output looks like (need to do exactly the same for the new plugin)
///Output as follows:
<aside class="related-posts" class="group">
<h3>Related Ideas</h3>
<ol>
<li>
<a class="image-crop" href="/link-here/">
<img width="310" height="185" src="/img/uploads/2011/04/image.jpg" class="attachment-thumb-size wp-post-image" alt="" title=""/></a>
</a>
<a href="/link-here/" class="title-area" rel="bookmark">
<span class="flag"><img src="xxx" /></span>
Title goes here
</a>
</li>
</ol>
</aside>And here's the whole lot posted elsewhere (in case that's easier to refer to): http://snipt.org/xPok

Erez S says:BTW you didn't wrote your current output
- 05/31/11 10:59am
Jon says:No, sorry - this code works with the current plugin (that function is inside functions.php).
I need the same output (shown at the end of the question), but from a different plugin, which doesn't let me just use custom HTML. See here. It will probably involve a quick edit of the plugin output files. - 05/31/11 10:59am
Erez S says:Now I think I understood you and this should work:
function wcs_build_tag_list_icononly($id)
{
$output = '';
$relateposts = MRP_get_related_posts( $id );
foreach($relateposts as $k=>$v){
$output .= '<li>';
$output .= '<a class="image-crop" href="'.get_permalink($k).'">
<img width="310" height="185" src="/img/uploads/2011/04/image.jpg" class="attachment-thumb-size wp-post-image" alt="" title=""/></a>
</a>
<a href="'.get_permalink($k).'" class="title-area" rel="bookmark">
<span class="flag"><img src="xxx" /></span>
'.$v.'
</a>';
$output .= '</li>';
}
return $output;
}
<?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>

<h3>Related Ideas</h3>

</a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
</aside>
<?php endif; ?> - 05/31/11 11:02am
Jon says:I really don't think this will work - you're not altering the output of the Microkid plugin at all?
- 05/31/11 11:07am
Erez S says:I am, in the third row:
$relateposts = MRP_get_related_posts( $id );
try to put the function inside the functions.php file and the rest in your theme - 05/31/11 11:12am
Erez S says:My bad, I didn't understood you again:
<?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>
<aside class="related-posts" class="group">
<h3>Related Ideas</h3>
<ol>
$relateposts = MRP_get_related_posts( $post->ID );
foreach($relateposts as $k=>$v){
?><li>
<a class="image-crop" href="<?php echo get_permalink($k); ?>">
<img width="310" height="185" src="/img/uploads/2011/04/image.jpg" class="attachment-thumb-size wp-post-image" alt="" title=""/></a>

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($k); ?>" class="title-area" rel="bookmark">
<span class="flag"><img src="xxx" /></span>
<?php echo $v; ?>
</a>
<li><?php
}
</ol>
</aside>
<?php endif; ?> - 05/31/11 11:15am
Jon says:I'm trying to get that to work, but the function is breaking the theme file? (Stripped out the template code, so it's definitely the function).
- 05/31/11 11:16am
Erez S says:Try my last code without the function
- 05/31/11 11:16am
Erez S says:If not working send me the whole file
- 05/31/11 11:18am

11:22amChristianto says:Hi Jon,
There are 2 function that need to be change "wcs_build_tag_list_icononly" and new the_title_attribute function that I name "custom_the_title_attribute", this is because we dont use any loop so have to pass the post ID manually.
Please try my code
<?php
function wcs_build_tag_list_icononly($ID)
{
$output = '';
$tags = get_the_tags($ID);
foreach ($tags as $tag)
{
$tag_link = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
$tag_name = $tag->name;
$tag_slug = $tag->slug;
$output .= '<span class="flag">';
$output .= '<img src="/_assets/img/icons/flags/16/' . $tag_slug . '.png" /></span>';
}
return $output;
}
function custom_the_title_attribute( $args = '', $ID ) {
$title = get_the_title($ID);
if ( strlen($title) == 0 )
return;
$defaults = array('before' => '', 'after' => '', 'echo' => true);
$r = wp_parse_args($args, $defaults);
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );
$title = $before . $title . $after;
$title = esc_attr(strip_tags($title));
if ( $echo )
echo $title;
else
return $title;
}
$related_post = MRP_get_related_posts( $post->ID, true );
if (is_array($related_post)){ ?>
<aside class="related-posts" class="group">
<h3>Related Ideas</h3>
<ol>
<?php
foreach ($related_post as $rpost){
?>
<li>
<a class="image-crop" href="<?php the_permalink($rpost->ID); ?>">
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $rpost->ID, 'thumb-size' ); ?></a>
</a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink($rpost->ID) ?>" class="title-area" rel="bookmark">
<?php //Get country tag
$tag_list = wcs_build_tag_list_icononly($rpost->ID);
$utility_text = __( '%2$s', 'toolbox' );
printf(
$utility_text,
get_the_category_list( ', ','', $rpost->ID ),
$tag_list,
get_permalink($rpost->ID),
custom_the_title_attribute( 'echo=0', $rpost->ID )
);
?>
<?php echo $rpost->post_title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php
} // end foreach
?>
</ol>
</aside>
<?php } ?>
Blind code so could be any error..
- 05/31/11 11:28am
Christianto says:Any result?
- 05/31/11 11:36am
Christianto says:sorry the_permalink should be get_permalink, try code below
<?php
function wcs_build_tag_list_icononly($ID)
{
$output = '';
$tags = get_the_tags($ID);
foreach ($tags as $tag)
{
$tag_link = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);

$tag_slug = $tag->slug;
$output .= '<span class="flag">';
$output .= '<img src="/_assets/img/icons/flags/16/' . $tag_slug . '.png" /></span>';
}
return $output;
}
function custom_the_title_attribute( $args = '', $ID ) {
$title = get_the_title($ID);
if ( strlen($title) == 0 )
return;
$defaults = array('before' => '', 'after' => '', 'echo' => true);
$r = wp_parse_args($args, $defaults);
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );
$title = $before . $title . $after;

Is it work or not?
Thanks - 05/31/11 12:26pm
Jon says:Sorry Christianto - Erez has managed to get this pretty much working now. Thanks for your help, anyway.
