Posts Block Lite

A block that displays posts in a list, grid or carousel.

plaintxt.org

<p>Blog Summary produces a semantic, hAtom-enabled list of latest blog entries with excerpts, dates, and comments links that is generated with the shortcode <code>[blog-summary]</code> on any post or page. Shortcode attributes are available to customize the output as well as specify number of entries to show.</p>
<p>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  <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" title="Sandbox theme for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">Sandbox</a> (or Sandbox-based) theme is active.</p>
<p>Blog Summary is for WordPress 2.6.x and features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Out-of-the-box function using shortcode without editing any files</li>
<li>Advanced shortcode attribute parsing for easy and complete customization</li>
<li>Highly semantic XHTML in the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom/" title="hAtom 0.1 microformat" rel="nofollow ugc">hAtom</a> microformat</li>
<li>Integration with Sandbox (or Sandbox-based) class-generating functions</li>
</ul>
<h3>Use</h3>
<p>After activating this plugin, simply use the shortcode <code>[blog-summary]</code> wherever you want a list of recent entries. The following optional attributes are parsed by this shortcode to customize the output:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>count</code> – Number of recent entries to show. Default is 5.</li>
<li><code>grouptag</code> – HTML element to wrap all recent entries. Default is <code>ol</code>.</li>
<li><code>entrytag</code> – HTML element to wrap each entry. Default is <code>li</code>.</li>
<li><code>titletag</code> – HTML element to wrap each entry title. Default is <code>h4</code>.</li>
<li><code>datetag</code> – HTML element to wrap each entry date. Default is <code>span</code>.</li>
<li><code>commentstag</code> – HTML element to wrap each entry comments link. Default is <code>span</code>.</li>
<li><code>summarytag</code> – HTML element to wrap each entry summary. Default is <code>div</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You may specify all or some of the attributes above. Attributes are optional and can be given in any order.</p>
<pre><code>[blog-summary count="3" titletag="h2" datetag="p" commentstag="div"]
</code></pre>
<p>And so on. A very simple plugin.</p>
