Hey everybody!

Thanks for enduring my presentation and if you didn’t come the stuff below probably won’t make a lot of sense but thanks for reading anyway

Fair-Play Scoreboards

The function used here was to get the id of the current page or post and then store it in a variable.

Then we queried the database to find only posts that have a tag that matches the current page’s id.

<a href=""><img src="/images/accessory_thumbs/.jpg" alt="" title="" />

Willow Creek Baptist Church

This is code used to query the parent page of each of the individual sermon series.

We also needed to get the name of the current post and store it in a variable. Here is that code:

post_name; ?>

And the last thing was to show the span of dates which we needed to query the first post and the last post.

$my_query = get_posts("numberposts=1&category_name=$catname&order=ASC");
$my_query = get_posts("numberposts=1&category_name=$catname&order=DSC");

Bill Darrah Builders

The challenge here was to display all the images attached to a post. The solution was found from the guys and Digging into WordPress. You can read the original post here.

And here is the actual query that does all the work.

 'ASC',
    'orderby' => 'menu_order ID',
    'post_type'      => 'attachment',
    'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
    'post_mime_type' => 'image',
    'post_status'    => null,
    'numberposts'    => -1,
);
$attachments = get_posts($args);
if ($attachments) {
    foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {

        echo wp_get_attachment_link($attachment->ID, 'thumbnail', false, false);
    }
}
?>

Green is Sexy

This is the looping function used to get multiple category icons attached to a post.

category_nicename;
                            echo "";
                            }
                            ?>
