The plugin shows the latest or newest posts. "Plugin label" means the title of the section with the list of the latest posts shown in the frontend.

Latest post plugin full code:

Code: Select all

<?php

class pluginLatestPosts extends Plugin {

	public function init()
	{
		$this->dbFields = array(
			'label'=>'Başlıca konular',
			'amount'=>5
		);
	}

	public function form()
	{
		global $Language;

		$html  = '<div>';
		$html .= '<label>'.$Language->get('Plugin label').'</label>';
		$html .= '<input name="label" id="jslabel" type="text" value="'.$this->getDbField('label').'">';
		$html .= '</div>';

		$html .= '<div>';
		$html .= '<label>'.$Language->get('Amount of posts').'</label>';
		$html .= '<input name="amount" id="jsamount" type="text" value="'.$this->getDbField('amount').'">';
		$html .= '</div>';

		return $html;
	}

	public function SideIki()
	{
		$posts = buildPostsForPage(0, $this->getDbField('amount'), true, false);

		$html  = '<div class="plugin plugin-baslica-konular">'.PHP_EOL;

		$label = $this->getDbField('label');
		if( !empty($label) ) {
			$html .= '	<h2 class="plugin-baslik">'.$label.'</h2>'.PHP_EOL;

		{

		$html .= '<article class="mini-post">'.PHP_EOL;
		$html .= '	<header>'.PHP_EOL;
		$html .= '		<h3><a href="'.$Post->permalink().'" title="'.$Post->title().'">'.$Post->title().'</a></h3>'.PHP_EOL;
		$html .= '		<time class="published" datetime="">'.$Post->date().'</time>'.PHP_EOL;
		$html .= '		<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'" class="author"><img src="author photo????" title="" alt="" /></a>'.PHP_EOL;
		$html .= '	</header>'.PHP_EOL;
		$html .= '		<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'" class="image"><img src="thubmanil image??" alt="'.$Post->title().'" title="'.$Post->title().'" /></a>'.PHP_EOL;

Step by step... There are some modifications necessary.

First the cover image. Basically the following works for cover images as part of the latest posts (it's a slight modification of the plugin).

Code: Select all

		foreach($posts as $Post)
		{

			$html .= '<li>';

			if($Post->coverImage()) {
			$html .= '<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'"><img src="'.$Post->coverImage().'" alt="Cover Image"></a>';
			}

			$html .= '<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'">'.$Post->title().'</a>';
			$html .= '</li>';
		}

At the moment it's better to use the image instead of the thumbnail. Beside the thumbnail is always shown as square it's size is greater than the one of the image (this has to be fixed).

It makes no sense to use the semantical tag <article> in a sidebar. It should be used only for the main content of a post or page or for comments:

Thanks, okay.

I wanted to add thumbnail for page opening speed.
So how do I make the user profile picture, and date settings ?

Next step. the image of the author.

Code: Select all

		foreach($posts as $Post)
		{

			$User = $Post->user();

			$html .= '<li>';

			if($Post->coverImage()) {
				$html .= '<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'"><img src="'.$Post->coverImage().'" alt="Cover Image"></a>';
			}

			$html .= '<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'">'.$Post->title().'</a>';

			if($User->profilePicture()) {
				$html .= '<div class="author"><img src="'.$User->profilePicture().'" alt=""></div>';
			}

			$html .= '</li>';

		}

Next step the date as explained earlier at Post date time language change?.

Code: Select all

		foreach($posts as $Post)
		{

			$User = $Post->user();

            // Local month
            $nmeng = array('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December');
            $nmger = array('Januar','Februar','M&auml;rz','April','Mai','Juni','Juli','August','September','Oktober','November','Dezember');
            $dt = $Post->date();
            $dt = str_ireplace($nmeng, $nmger, $dt);

			$html .= '<li>';

			if($Post->coverImage()) {
				$html .= '<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'"><img src="'.$Post->coverImage().'" alt="Cover Image"></a>';
			}

			$html .= '<a href="'.$Post->permalink().'">'.$Post->title().'</a>';
		    $html .= '<time class="published" datetime="2015-11-01">'.$dt.'</time>';

			if($User->profilePicture()) {
				$html .= '<div class="author"><img src="'.$User->profilePicture().'" alt=""></div>';
			}

			$html .= '</li>';

		}

Missing is only the styling with CSS.
