Plugin / Blog Summary

Scott Allan Wallick

Description

Description

Blog Summary produces a semantic, hAtom-enabled list of latest blog entries with excerpts, dates, and comments links that is generated with the shortcode [blog-summary] on any post or page. Shortcode attributes are available to customize the output as well as specify number of entries to show.

Blog Summary is the easiest way to show the latest blog entries on a static page, marked up in the hAtom microformat and utilizing the semantic class funtions when the Sandbox (or Sandbox-based) theme is active.

Blog Summary is for WordPress 2.6.x and features:

  • Out-of-the-box function using shortcode without editing any files
  • Advanced shortcode attribute parsing for easy and complete customization
  • Highly semantic XHTML in the hAtom microformat
  • Integration with Sandbox (or Sandbox-based) class-generating functions

Use

After activating this plugin, simply use the shortcode [blog-summary] wherever you want a list of recent entries. The following optional attributes are parsed by this shortcode to customize the output:

  • count – Number of recent entries to show. Default is 5.
  • grouptag – HTML element to wrap all recent entries. Default is ol.
  • entrytag – HTML element to wrap each entry. Default is li.
  • titletag – HTML element to wrap each entry title. Default is h4.
  • datetag – HTML element to wrap each entry date. Default is span.
  • commentstag – HTML element to wrap each entry comments link. Default is span.
  • summarytag – HTML element to wrap each entry summary. Default is div.

You may specify all or some of the attributes above. Attributes are optional and can be given in any order.

[blog-summary count="3" titletag="h2" datetag="p" commentstag="div"]

And so on. A very simple plugin.
