Exclude posts dynamically / in shortcode?

Hi,

It’s one of the things I plan on implementing, i.e. exclusion settings per post in the metabox. I’ll need to see how I can implement it partially for admins and partially for all users. But, it’s a good idea that I’ll put on my list of things to add.

Hi,

In theory, you could hook into the 'tptn_widget_options filter to set the option to

Something like:

function filter_tptn_widget_options( $arguments ) {

    $arguments['exclude_post_ids'] = '10,15';

}
add_filter( 'tptn_widget_options', 'filter_tptn_widget_options' );

Where you set the 10, 15 etc. as a set of post IDs to exclude.

If you’re using the shortcode to display the top posts, then you could pass:

exclude_post_ids = '10,15' as one of the parameters of the shortcode.

However, this won’t automatically allow authors to select their post not to display in the top lists. It might be more of an admin thing. Alternatively, you could code in your custom field / meta and let them select this and then use that to populate the list of post IDs that the above parameter takes.

This is eventually what I will be implementing.

You’re welcome 🙂 The shortcode is extremely powerful, because you can pass any of the default options and it will work.

Btw, do consider writing a review of Top 10.
