List Category Posts is a WordPress plugin that allows you to list posts from a category into a post/page using the [catlist] shortcode. This shortcode accepts a category name or id, the order in which you want the posts to display, and the number of posts to display. You can use [catlist] as many times as needed with different arguments.
Usage:
[catlist argument1=value1 argument2=value2]
Please visit the plugin's page on WordPress.org to find out more.
The evolution of this plugin wouldn't be possible without the help of these awesome contributors. Special thanks to Sophist and bibz for the hard work 👍
Currently the plugin is mostly being developed through code contributions by its users. If you know PHP and would like to start contributing to the plugin, let me know! I can help you get started. Contact me here.
A Vagrantfile is provided to set up a box for WordPress development. You need Vagrant installed on your computer.
Fork the repo, clone it locally and do vagrant up. You'll have a
WordPress instance running on http://127.0.0.1:8080/.
WordPress is installed with this information:
- Database Name:
wordpress - User Name:
wordpressuser - Password:
wordpresspass
You can access the admin dashboard with the following credentials:
- Admin user:
adminuser - Admin password:
adminpass
Activate the plugin on http://127.0.0.1:8080/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php.
The plugin code is linked directly on the box, so any change you make on the code is reflected automatically on the Vagrant box's WordPress.
PHPUnit has been setup by bibz, you can run phpunit on the Virtual Machine:
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-precise-32:/vagrant$ phpunit

OK (1 test, 12 assertions)The code needs lots of refactoring and probably some more documentation to be able to write some more relevant tests. This is a task where you can really help the development of the plugin if you're interested in contributing.
