Hmmm. Unfortunately that only does a logical or operation. It would show everyone with category 2 or 5. I’m aiming for an “and” operation show only people that match both 2 and 5.

Fortunately I am a programming and decided to go ahead and implement the feature myself. Its a bit long with having to consider the hierarchy and such so If you would like to see what I did and consider adding it to the plugin send me an e-mail and I’ll get it to you.

Right now the only way to do this is to put the shortcode on the page twice calling each category individually. I’ll see if I can fit calling multiple categories in the next release.

I am loving this plug-in. Is it possible to query multiple categories. I am using the short code categories=’2,5′ but that doesn’t seem to do it. What I’m aiming for is entries that have both 2 and 5. Is that even possible? Love the plug-in thanks.

Yes, I’m working on this for the next release. Well maybe not the widget initially. But having a set of links of categories for a user to click that would have the same net result.

Hi Steve,

thanks for this super plugin – I’ll be supporting you via PayPal

I’ve a request for a widget if you can: having a widget to be able to add to the sidebar, displaying all categories, would be totally brilliant, so if that’s a possibility then I’d love to know…
My thoughts are that it would work like the Blogpost categories: so if you click on for example, business services, all connections categorised under “business services” would be listed…

Here’s hoping

Keep up the great work…
Tracey

P.S. To the commenter asking about payment methods other than PayPal – you can also donate through PayPal just using a credit or debit card; no PayPal account of your own needed…

Hey,
Well documented and structured code, very nice!
Apparently it wasn’t that complicated to dig into the different modules on the one hand side and drill up from the database on the other.
A more comprehensive documentation of *all* public class methods would have saved some time (even a list with basic info that a method actually exists).
As far as I’ve seen, cnTerms() returns a flat list with a parent referrer in each entry. Since we’re not making use of the hierarchies in the moment, we just skipped building a tree out of that, you’re right.
As soon as the directory is public (End of March ETA) I’ll pass the URL.
Rgds,
Axel

@Axel Amthor

Nice solution. In you opinion did my coding style and plug-in code structure make this easy or difficult for you to figure out?

I’ll make this a feature in the next release. I will have to do it a little differently because your solution doesn’t take in to account the category hierarchy. Maybe I’ll include both because I could easily see users wanting both.

@jon

Sorry for your troubles! I am aware of that issue. I keep meaning to fix that. I’ll make it a priority for the next release.

Hey Steve,

I figured out what was causing the problem, after some trial and error. I realized the bio writer used the “%” symbol, instead of writing the word “percent”. Apparently you can’t do that in the bio. FYI.

Thanks

Hey Steve,

Loving the plugin, can’t wait to show the Church. Two things. Is the a character limit on the bio? I keep getting ‘entry could not be updated’ when working with a very wordy bio. Second, do you have any other donate methods besides Paypal?

thanks
