I'm trying to display the last few days of a particular category.

One would expect that

CODE

would display the last 7 days of entries from the news category. But it actually displays the last seven days of all categories.

However,

CODE

displays the last 5 posts in the news category, as expected.

It'd be great if the category and news attributes could be used together, instead of just the cateogory and lastn.

If one read the documentation, one would know that

days, however, should be used by itself; if it is used with any other attribute, the other attribute will override it

It would be nice if it worked, but it's a "feature" that behaves as documented. It is on the wishlist, though, so maybe some day it'll be supported.

Oh, and don't post the same entry in multiple forums, 'tis frowned upon.
