Looks like this is still the most recent and still not available on WP.

Umm … I don’t actually know the answer but could you put orderby='category' into your get_posts and then only print the current category if it’s different to the old one? The code would be something like this – but I haven’t tested this:

<?php
if (is_tag()) {
	query_posts($query_string.'&orderby=category');
	$catname='';
	$oldcat='';
	while (have_posts()) : the_post();
		$catname = $(get_the_category())[0];
		if ($catname != $oldcat) {
			/* new category */
			echo '<h2>Category: ' . $catname . '</h2>';
			$oldcat = $catname;
		}
		<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php } else {
//Something else
} ?>

The codex is rather vague on whether orderby=category works in this case and I don’t have the energy to test it in a current WP. If that isn’t an option, you could try nested queries for each category specifically … it’s ugly and computationally expensive but it’d work I think:

<?php
global $posts
if (is_tag()) {
	foreach((array('117', '116')) as $current_cat) {
// Category name printing here - as above ...

// Put your get_posts nested query here for categories in the current tag and in $current_cat then the usual:

	while (have_posts()) : the_post();
		<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile;

} // end your foreach loop

<?php } else {
//Something else
} ?>

etc.

As I said, that’s out of my head and I haven’t tested either – especially the second. Just ideas for you to go on. There’s a codex page on nested loops that might help you – look it up.

Good luck,
Ricky

Blogplay People,

Thanks for the new version! I’ve turned off the CSS sprites and it’s working fine with my shiny personalised icons again, and opening the sites in new windows. Those were the hiccups I was having so I’m happy! Here’s a nice example:
http://nopitycity.com/shirts/what-a-person-with-an-invisible-disability-looks-like

I’m a happy camper now 🙂 For extra bonus shininess could you make the non-sprite icons show up on the setup page when this option is selected? It gave me a moment of fear when I thought the icons still weren’t working because the sociable settings page still shows them all as blank when you turn of CSS sprites and give it an image directory – previously giving the plugin an image directory would show preview images from that new directory. Because I have images for some but not all of the sites (as I imagine most people do) this is a really handy function.

But the important bit is that it’s working wonderfully now on all my blogs – Thanks for all your hard work!

Cheers,

Thanks for the responsiveness, Blogplay people (do you have a name? it seems very distant!).

I’m waiting for the don’t-use-sprites option, but in general it’s just great to see updates and responsive feedback again. Thanks for taking on Sociable. 🙂

I’d find this a really very useful function also. Being able to specify one or more posts perhaps in the custom fields would work for me.

For extra special bonus posts allow any web page to be specified in those custom fields and have it display, not just posts in the current blog.

That said, I run YARPP on all four of my current blogs and find it invaluable. Thank you very much for the hard work you put into it 🙂

Are either of you using WP 2.7.* rather than 2.8.*?

I have 4 blogs where this is working fine, but one which still uses 2.7 because of theme upgrading issues I’m still working on and I can’t get updates to stick for the 2.7 blog.

There are also some display issues where parts of the display show things like:

<tt>checked=”checked” checked=”checked” checked=”checked” checked=”checked”</tt>

I checked the required version of WP listed on the plugin site and it says 2.7 should be OK.

You’ve got nofollow turned off for comments but you want it on for tweetbacks?

That seems unlikely to be something implemented for Average Joes who are gonna get confused about its utility. Also, I think it’d be something that would be changed in the plugin you use to turn the nofollows off, not in Tweetbacks itself. But I’m not really a coder, and I don’t know much about WP internals – you never know!
