[Plugin: List category posts] Custom taxonomy support and array get_posts call

Below is a patch to add support for custom taxonomies and also move to the array call of get_posts (also needed for the custom taxonomy support).

list_cat_posts.php add:
,’taxonomy’ => ” // Added for custom taxonomy support
to the end of the $atts = shortcode_atts(array(… statement

CatList.php function lcp_set_categories rewritten to use array get_posts call and added custom taxonomy support. Note: Old code is included below for reference but commented out:

/**
* Get the categories & posts
*/
private function lcp_set_categories(){
if($this->params[‘name’] != ” && $this->params[‘id’] == ‘0’){
$this->lcp_category_id = $this->get_category_id_by_name($this->params[‘name’]);
}else{
$this->lcp_category_id = $this->params[‘id’];
}

//$lcp_category = ‘cat=’ . $this->lcp_category_id;
$args = array(‘cat’ => $this->lcp_category_id);

//Build the query for get_posts()
/*$lcp_query = $lcp_category.’&numberposts=’ . $this->params[‘numberposts’] .
‘&orderby=’ . $this->params[‘orderby’] .
‘&order=’ . $this->params[‘order’] .
‘&exclude=’ . $this->params[‘excludeposts’] .
‘&tag=’ . $this->params[‘tags’] .
‘&offset=’ . $this->params[‘offset’];*/
$args = array_merge($args, array(
‘numberposts’ => $this->params[‘numberposts’],
‘orderby’ => $this->params[‘orderby’],
‘order’ => $this->params[‘order’],
‘exclude’ => $this->params[‘excludeposts’],
‘offset’ => $this->params[‘offset’]
));

// Post type and post parent:
/*if($this->params[‘post_type’]): $lcp_query .= ‘&post_type=’ . $this->params[‘post_type’]; endif;
if($this->params[‘post_parent’]): $lcp_query .= ‘&post_parent=’ . $this->params[‘post_parent’]; endif;*/
if($this->params[‘post_type’]): $args[‘post_type’] = $this->params[‘post_type’]; endif;
if($this->params[‘post_parent’]): $args[‘post_parent’] = $this->params[‘post_parent’]; endif;

// Custom fields ‘customfield_name’ & ‘customfield_value’ should both be defined
if($this->params[‘customfield_name’] != ” && $this->params[‘customfield_value’] != ”):
//$lcp_query .= ‘&meta_key=’ . $this->params[‘customfield_name’] . ‘&meta_value=’ . $this->params[‘customfield_value’];
$args[‘meta_key’] = $this->params[‘customfield_name’];
$args[‘meta_value’] = $this->params[‘customfield_value’];
endif;

// Added custom taxonomy support
if ($this->params[‘taxonomy’] != “” && $this->params[‘tags’] != “”) {
$args[‘tax_query’] = array(array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘topic-tag’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => explode(“,”,$this->params[‘tags’])
));
} elseif ($this->params[‘tags’] != “”) {
$args[‘tag’] = $this->params[‘tags’];
}

//$this->lcp_categories_posts = get_posts($lcp_query);
$this->lcp_categories_posts = get_posts($args);
}

Hope it helps some people out there. Would think we should move list category posts to an array call anyway as this is the easier to understand/more modern system.

Great plugin though – use it on loads of sites. Cheers
