I needed to create a custom version that showed the contents of a custom post type.
I set up a new custom post type called slides
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Slides', 'slide'),
'singular_name' => _x('Slide', 'slide'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New Slide', 'slide'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New publication'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit slide'),
'new_item' => __('New slide'),
'view_item' => __('View slide'),
'search_items' => __('Search slide'),
'not_found' => __('No slides found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No slide found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => null,
'supports' => array('title','editor','author','thumbnail','excerpt','comments')
);
register_post_type('slide',$args);
then modified you plugin in order to select only the slide post type
$args = array( 'post_type' => array('slide'), // not 'page'
'orderby' => $prlx_sort,
'order' => $prlx_order,
'numberposts' => $prlx_slider_nb_articles,
'cat' => $cat );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
// --------------------------------------------------------
// HTML Output beginning
and finally tweaked the output display in order to show the contents and thumbnail:
/*
* Generate HTML output for an article slide
*/
function get_article_slide($title, $content, $link_article, $url_image, $title_length, $alt_image = 'Alternative text')
{
// Parameters
if (strlen($title) > $title_length) $title = substr($title, 0, $title_length)."...";
// Slide output
$outputSlide = "<div class='da-slide'>"."\n";
$outputSlide .= "<h2>".$title."</h2>"."\n";
$outputSlide .= $content."\n";
// $outputSlide .= "<a href='".$link_article."' class='da-link'>Read more</a>"."\n";
$outputSlide .= "<div class='da-img'><img src='".$url_image."' alt='".$alt_image."' /></div>"."\n";
$outputSlide .= "</div>"."\n";
return $outputSlide;
}
