At the moment I'm missing some help here (normally 2 (or more) persons are required to handle all requests). I take an exam in criminal law in around 4 weeks so my time is limited. As this topic is beyond the scope of this support forum I'll look into it when I've some working hours left. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-12295 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 11:23:17 +0000 Jeroen de Boer 12295@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Can you give an idea when you think you can have it figured out? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-12273 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 08:53:39 +0000 Dude 12273@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> no I don't have enough time at the moment... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-12259 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 08:09:57 +0000 Jeroen de Boer 12259@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>@Dude: Any luck yet? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-11914 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 07:42:39 +0000 Jeroen de Boer 11914@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks for looking into it.

I think they're based on tags... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-11812 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:36:58 +0000 Jeroen de Boer 11812@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Same problem here.<br /> Had some help to create a second version of sidebar_news.php to only show portfolio items in sidebar. This now shows all portfolio-items from all categories is I leave this field empty. As soon as I fill in id's it shows nothing.<br /> Any fix for this? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-11806 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:09:00 +0000 FWCMedia 11806@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Perfect! Thanks so much, this will be a great asset to our website. One note: I tried using category IDs to only pull certain portfolio entries, but it did not work. Once I left the Cat ID field blank (in the widget area), my portfolio entries started popping up! If there is any way to only pick certain categories, that would be awesome. If not, this is still an awesome tool. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-use-the-sidebar-news-widget-to-display-portfolio-items-instead-of-posts#post-11731 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 18:41:21 +0000 Dude 11731@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p><font color="tomato">Attention: This modification requires WP3.1+. It won't work with WP 3.0.x or WP2.x !!!!! </font></p> <p>Open up /framework/theme_widgets/sidebar_news.php and find following code:<br /> <pre><code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;cat=&quot;.$cat.&quot;&amp;posts_per_page=&quot;.$count);</code></pre> <p>Change it to:<br /> <pre><code>if (!empty($cat)) { $array_cat = explode(&quot;,&quot;, $cat); $myquery = array( &#39;posts_per_page&#39;=&gt; $count, &#39;tax_query&#39; =&gt; array( array( &#39;taxonomy&#39; =&gt; &#39;portfolio_entries&#39;, &#39;field&#39; =&gt; &#39;id&#39;, &#39;terms&#39; =&gt; $array_cat , &#39;operator&#39; =&gt; &#39;IN&#39; ) ) ); }else{ $myquery = &#39;post_type=portfolio&amp;taxonomy=portfolio_entries&amp;posts_per_page=&#39;.$count; } $additional_loop = new WP_Query($myquery);</code></pre> <p>If you want to use the sidebar news widget AND a portfolio items widget you must duplicate the widget file.
