[wp-testers] Quick Question

[Paul Robinson]

No the plugin doesn't use the results. The aim of the plugin is just to get
the ID of all the posts from the current pages $posts array & run a DB query
to grab the first image assosiated with each post. The one it picks is
determined by the menu order so that I can choose which image is shown.

It's kinda hard to describe but the main idea is to have the first three
posts in a featured position at the top of the page & then continue a little
further down the page with the next 4 posts. when you go to the next page
instead of keeping the first three as the same posts it would move all seven
forward. In fact it would work exactly like my site does at the minute
http://celeborama.net. I've managed to get it to doe what I wanted by
running a counter during WP's standard loop & using ifs to place certain
HTML elements at certain points. I would think it would be more efficient to
use 2 query_posts(); though, or is it not?

Kinda long winded, but maybe I should have explained it like that in the
first place. Would using two query_posts(); really be more efficient though?

By the way, I forgot to say thanks. So thanks. :)
Paul.
