Descripción
This plugin creates the [Category]] Shortcode. The code takes 5 arguments:
number: the number of posts to display. 0 equals the default number. -1 equals the total available.
Order: Ascending or Descending
Display Method: Full, Excerpt, Title
Order By: Author, Date, Title, Modified, Parent, ID, Rand, None, or Comment Count.
Category: this is the category id the category or categories that should be searched. Multiple categories can be specified in a comma separated list.
Example shortcode:
[Category number=’5′ method=’title’ order=’asc’ id=’11,45′ orderby=’comment_count’]
This will show 5 posts in ascending order of category 11 and 45 as arranged by comment_count and will display just the post titles.

FAQ
- How do I create a valid category tag?
-
A tool has been provided under the tools menu (Category Shortcode). Use this generate valid tags. Note: the tool cannot be used to generate a tag that displays multiple categories, but the shortcode does support this.
- How do I style the output?
-
I’ve made div classes around the content data. These classes are:
csc_post_thumbnail
csc_post_title
csc_post_date
csc_post_author
csc_post_category
csc_post_excerpt
csc_post_content
csc_break (a div between each post)There is also a style div around the entire post with a class of csc_post and then either csc_excerpt, full or title to help with styling.
csc_post
csc_excerpt
csc_title
csc_fullAn example style to modify the size of the title would be
.csc_post_title {
font-size: 14px;
}These properties can be set to display: none; to hide the data. More advanced styling could be done modifying the php in the section commented OUTPUT STYLING.
