Topic: Hacking Index page, bugging Navi

[Basilakis]

Hello my friend,

Last days i am hacking my index.php of wordpress to produce a better blog type for my self.

When i added the following code

Code: [Select]

<?php
// I am leaving Outside Index page, the category named 63
   if (is_home()) {
     query_posts("cat=-63");
   }
?>

My NaviPagi bugged, and it is not doing anything. Even if it moves to the index.php/page/2 it stills shows the same posts into the page. The wired thing is that i can not get whta is wrong with the code

Regards,
Basilis

because your query_post parameters did not cater for paging. When the page is loaded, the first X number of posts that excludes category 63 will get loaded. This thread should help you http://forums.lesterchan.net/index.php/topic,814.0.html

Does not seem to me that i any of the codes there is working.

I add code like that

Code: [Select]

<?php
$paged = intval(get_query_var('paged'));
if($paged == 0) {
$paged = 1;
}
query_posts('orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=3&paged='.$paged); ?>

and i get 3 posts per page as it was expected, but from post one to miss the title and same with pagination, it is not actually loading the data.

is there any possible way to add inside the pagination the category eclude.

You need to place the code in archive.php as well.

I did but nothing new happed actually.

Even if i do not have posts in the selected category i exclude it is still bugging.

I also can not see where the problem is regarding the plugin. Why it bugs when there is a category to exclude :/

[GaMerZ]

I KNOW WHY! Because you check is_home(). is_home() refers only to the index page and hence it will only be called once, ie, In page 2, is_home() will return false and hence the query_post() will not execute. I think I answered someone on this problem before. Do a search around.

[Basilakis]

Can not find anything similar at all :/

And in WordPressss Documentation i do not see any other way, to use that think 

[GaMerZ]

Why do you want to do a is_home() if you want to exclude that particular category? If you are using the default theme, just putting the query_posts in index.php will do.

[Basilakis]

Cause that is how it is refered to the maual :S

Code: [Select]

<?php
// I am leaving Outside Index page, the category named 63
 //  if (is_home()) {
   //query_posts("cat=-63");
 //  }
?>

<?php if (have_posts()): ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

How should i rewrite it, based on what u say?

[GaMerZ]

Just use:

Code: [Select]

$paged = intval(get_query_var('paged'));
if($paged == 0) {
$paged = 1;
}
query_posts("cat=-63&paged=$paged");

Seems to work great with that, thx a lot for the tip mate

Keep up the great work

[GaMerZ]

no problem =)

[Basilakis]

Seems that it is getting difficult for me, and i can not find the problem this time. It is still keep NOT getting after the page 1, and even click to [2] it goes stays quering the [1]

i do that

Code: [Select]

<?php 
//Total Posts will be shown in the page
get_header(); query_posts( 'posts_per_page=6&cat=' . $cat )
?>

and it is not working for a wiered reason now. I am not geting the home or anything :$

[GaMerZ]

you need to add the paged code.

Code: [Select]

$paged = intval(get_query_var('paged'));
if($paged == 0) {
$paged = 1;
}
query_posts("posts_per_page=6&cat=$cat&paged=$paged");
