List post from a specific category with options like date format, link text, order and more. Locus is a very simple plugin for display content in diferrent ways:
<ul>
<li>Display a single post, page or any available post type.</li>
<li>Display full content or the excerpt, or both!</li>
<li>Category descriptions are visible by default, if any.</li>
<li>Configure date format, link text or hide them all.</li>
<li>Use styles for every block, (refer the stylesheet in <code>locus/control/locus-style.css</code>)</li>
<li>Set display post orders, such random, by date, by author, comment count (popularity) etc</li>
<li>Display thumbnails, if available</li>
<li>Easy to use: you don’t have to learn to use it</li>
<li>Settings per widget, so you can have different widgets.</li>
</ul>

The Pages-Children plugin now works with any post or taxonomy type which is setup as hierarchical.
Personally I find the WordPress Pages management somewhat lacking. When dealing with a simple list of About Us, Contact Us, etc. pages the interface works fairly well. But when you have a client who has 15+ levels of sub-pages and each level contains some 50+ pages the interface quickly breaks down in it’s usefulness.
So I put together a plugin to help manage this a little better. The new plugin, pages-children, helps to filter the post type or taxonomy list showing only a single level of at a time. That is it really. There is no admin interface or settings. Just through the power of the WordPress actions and filter the page content can be altered. Powerful stuff.
