# plugin admin page to list posts by category

 * I want to create a plugin which, on its admin page under Manage can list all 
   the posts for a selected category, much like Manage, Posts, does to which I want
   to add some stuff. Can I use existing WordPress functions or must I roll my own?
   Or is there a hook I could use to ad some extra options per post on the existing
   Manage Posts page – which will modify info in a separate table for the plugin.
 * Hope somebody will be kind enough to point me in the right direction – even if
   just pointing me at a decent plugin with this kind of functionality that i should
   study.
 * Thanx
    A

 * [and don’t “cross-post” – it is considered double posting and I am quite fast
   with the delete button!]

 * Thanx Mosho, I’ve spent a lot of time hunting in the codex but seem to be going
   in circles. I was expecting to find what I was looking for in the function reference
   section 0 but no luck.
 * When I try to use ‘get_posts’ things like the_permalink come up blank and the
   no of iterations of the foreach loop doesn’t correlate to the category i specified:-/
 * (PS. yup that delete was incredibly fast 🙂
