Official page and french translation : http://www.fb-graphic.com/bonus/display-last- posts-wordpress-plugin Two ways are available: using a shortcode in posts or pages, within the CMS, or putting a small PHP code in a template of your theme. **shortcode** : [last-posts] or [last-posts nb=”5″ cont=”excerpt”] **code PHP** : < ?php lastPosts(”,”); ?> or < ?php lastPosts(5,’excerpt’); ?> (suppress space between < and ?) The shortcode is: **[last-posts]** By default, only the last post is displayed, with its whole content. Optional arguments, ex.: **[last-posts nb=”5″ cont=”excerpt”]**– with [nb] you specify the quantity of posts you want to display (always newest first), and with [cont=”excerpt”] you specify that only the excerpt of the posts will be displayed. The PHP code for templates is: **< ?php lastPosts(”,”); ?>** By default, only the last post is displayed, with its whole content. Optional arguments, ex.: **< ?php lastPosts(5,’extrait’); ?>** – the first argument specify the number of posts to display (always newest first), and the second one specify that only the excerpt must be displayed. **Display Last Post(s)** is widely inspired by the sc_liste() function given here: http://www.webinventif.fr/wordpress-creation-de-shortcode-avance/ ### CSS styling The code produced is included in a < div> with class=”display-last-post” ( < div class=”display-last-posts”>). You can then easily apply a remote CSS. ### Bug Reports / Suggestions You can contact me here: http://www.fb-graphic.com/fb-contact.php Thanks to specify[ Display Last Post ] in the title. ### Donate Link If you wish to donate, please go there: http://www.fb-graphic.com/dons/ Thanks! ### License copyright (c) 2010 Francois Barret < www.fb-graphic.com > The free distribution, use and modification of this source are permitted provided they meet the following clauses: * This entire notice and the entire license must be preserved. * The name and internet references (web adresses) of the author must stay visible whatever the mode of distribution and modification of the source.
