Hi Justin. Thanks for the great plugin.

I think it would be greater if the site editors can assign which post to show from the dashboard in GUI without administrator privilege.

Another thing is I’m using this plugin for more than 1 widget in my site. It would be very nice if each of them can have a different style, e.g., one is styled with 3 columns and the other has 2.

Thanks!

Hey Justin, thanks for this awesome plugin! Using it now. One quick q though, short of creating a new page template with widget areas in the “content area” is there any other functionality that will allow you to use this plugin to display the post within a page? I know I said one q, but also, can you set it to display the newest post in a particular category? Haven’t been able to get that combo going yet.

THANKS!

I’m using this in several places on http://picturesfor.me and it’s amazing!
One tip I added on my site which others may find useful:
in widget_query_posts.php I changed the Author Arguments section (starting at line 119) to the following:

This allowed me to then enter the word: page in the query field for author, to have it dynamically filled with the current page author for whatever page/post the widget appeared on.

I do have one quick question if anyone else has figured this one out:
How would I configure the widget to display the single latest post from each author? i.e. if there are 15 authors, and each made 15 posts, how would I get a listing of 15 posts each being the latest one by each author?

Thanks in advance for the help on this!

HI,

I tried links for tutorials but they dont work.

I would like to have two seperate query posts in side bar. One that show the most popular 5 posts over the last 7 days and a second that shows the five popular post over the last 30 days.

Any ideas?

Love this plugin !!! Question…. How can i configure plugin to dynamically list only posts that match a variable ??? for example if my page has e.g /site/?multi_city=44 (in this case i only want to list in your plugin posts that match that particular cityID) …. where in the plugin can i add the variable passed to filter records???

Sorry for this… in ASP i could do this easy but in PHP phew not so easy!!!
