Full Version: Last 5 Excerpts from a Catagory
I want to include excerpts from the last 5 entries in a catagory (and link to each one) on my home page, so do I use the following code, then use PHP's include fuction?
That code will work, except for one minor detail - you spelled category wrong. Other than that, drop that code into a new index template, name it something you'll remember (ex: last5.inc), and then include that file.
If you want to include the title as the link to the entry, along with the excerpt, try this code:
CODE
<? include('/full/path/to/last5.inc'); ?>
If you want to include the title as the link to the entry, along with the excerpt, try this code:
CODE
<MTEntries lastn="5" category="Personal">
<a href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><b><MTEntryTitle></b></a><br />
<MTEntryExcerpt convert_breaks="1">
</MTEntries>
<a href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><b><MTEntryTitle></b></a><br />
<MTEntryExcerpt convert_breaks="1">
</MTEntries>
Completely awesome. Thank you!
You're welcome!
