Using wordpress posts in a static page

marSoul · Jan 21st, 2008, 00:39

Hi

I have started using wordpress recently, I need to know that can I get new posts headlines and use them on other pages than wordpress itself ?
If yes how ?

Thanks

What do you mean? you want your blog to be seen in other page beside wordpress? I don't if it is possible...but you can place your link to the pages of your site going to your posts...

It is possible but you need to hack WP for it.
I haven't hacked it in ages so i can't remember the functions.

I mean for example i have a website named : www.somedomain.com and wordpress is installed in subdomain named : blog.somedomain.com
All i need is that put links to new posts on www.somedomain.com

I'll have a look at this tomorrow, I still have a dev installation of WP on my server.

why not just subscribe to the wordpress rss feed and place these on your static pages?

yes thanks, i just use feedburner to create those links for my site...
But just wondering if it is possible to create these links manually or not ?

To create them manually? Then you just link to them like any of other link.
Did you mean dynamically?

Yes I mean dynamically !
But now I am using feedburner to link to them...

PHP: Select all


<?php
$how_many=3; //How many posts do you want to show
require_once("wp-config.php"); // Change this for your path to wp-config.php file ?>

<?
$news=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT `ID`,`post_title`,`post_content`, `post_date` FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE `post_type`=\"post\" AND `post_status`= \"publish\" ORDER BY 'ID' DESC LIMIT ".$how_many);
foreach($news as $np){
//echo ("$np->post_date<br />");
list ($y, $m, $d) = split('[/.-]', substr($np->post_date, 0, 10));
 echo "Posted on: $d-$m-$y<br />";
print ("<a href=\"");
echo get_permalink($np->ID);
print ("\">$np->post_title</a><br />");
if (strlen($np->post_content) > 65)
{
echo (substr("$np->post_content", 0, 65)."... ");
}
else
{
echo ("$np->post_content<br />");
}
print ("<a href=\"");
echo get_permalink($np->ID);
print ("\">&raquo; Read More</a><br /><br />");
} ?>

I did this for the website of the company I work for. I think that should work. Although this particular part is in an include so if it doesn't work you may need to fiddle with it a bit, although at the moment it looks fine
