Pagination and shortcode

    Hi Allen,

    Firstly, I love the plugin as I’ve said on your website.

    I have a couple of questions:

    – I would like to stop pagination (with the shortcode) showing every page number. Is it possible to easily have it display as, for example: 1, 2, 3, … 10 Next Instead of every single page? I’m not sure of where or what to do with the php to make this happen.

    – Can the number of total posts fetched with the shortcode be limited as it can be for the feed to post? That is, as well as choosing a max. number per feed, a max total that would work with/overwrite this (say if I wanted to limit my total number of posts to 200 with the shortcode)

    – When using the beta version, are posts cleared from the database ever? Or do they just keep piling up in there over time?

    Thanks!

    right now, the pagination has every page…you can change the code in the main file if you want to try something else.

    yes, you can limit the total feeds fetched using the parameters in the parameters admin page.

    it will clear out the database if you choose that option or on the main page of the plugin that click to delete everything.

    Using the shortcode, the plugin gives the option to set the number of items per feed and number displayed per page… but not total number of posts to fetch/display as for feed to post. For example, if I wanted to take the top 10 posts (max) from each of 20 feeds, but only display a maximum of 50 posts in the output on my site (not per page, but total output). I don’t want to use Feed to post, only the shortcode. Is this something that you can do in the beta version (I haven’t uploaded it yet)?\\Thanks

    if you want to take the top 10 from 20 feeds, then that equals 200 items (unless one of more of the feeds has less than 10 posts). Right now the plugin doesn’t work such that you can take 200 items and pluck off the first 50..you could go into the main file and use php to customize what you want, however.

    Okay… consider it a feature request for the shortcode then!
