I am trying to make a template page that would display all posts from all categories, in short – every post added to my website. I was googling around and found out that it can be done by using The Loop. The examples were mainly based on Twenty Eleven which is pretty straight-forward. Unfortunately I am using a complex theme and my understanding of PHP is very little… This the website I am developing: http://www.pomorzekultury.pl/ and this is the template page I would like to “adjust” to display everything: http://pastebin.com/5a8fZ3u6 . I hope some of you will make something of this, because as I said eariler I fail understand what is going on here…;)
Edit: The whole code of this PHP file I would like to work on:
<?php /* Blog Style B */
$i = 1;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$format = get_post_format();
$cb_meta_onoff = ot_get_option('cb_meta_onoff', 'on');
$category_data = NULL;
foreach( ( get_the_category() ) as $category ) {
$category_name = $category->cat_name;
$category_url = get_category_link($category);
$category_data .= '<span class="cb-category"><a href="'.$category_url.'">'.$category_name.'</a></span>';
}
$cat_com_url = get_comments_link();
$cb_custom_fields = get_post_custom();
if (isset($cb_custom_fields['cb_review_checkbox'][0])) { $cb_review_checkbox = 'on'; } else { $cb_review_checkbox = 'off'; }
if ($cb_review_checkbox == 'on') { $format = 'review'; }
$j = $i / 3;
?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="cb-blog-style-b <?php if (is_int($j)) {echo 'right-half '; } ?>clearfix<?php if (is_sticky()) echo ' sticky'; ?>" role="article">
<div class="mask">
<?php cb_review_thumbnail($post); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail('cb-thumb-350-crop');
} else {
echo '<img src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/library/images/thumbnail-350x200.png" alt="related post">';
}
?>
<?php if (false !== $format) {echo '<span class="cb-icon '. $format . '-icon"></span>'; } ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php echo $category_data; ?>
<?php if (get_comments_number() > 0) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $cat_com_url; ?>">
<p class="cb-comments"><?php echo get_comments_number(); ?></p>
</a>
<?php } ?>
<h2 class="h4">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h2>
<?php if ($cb_meta_onoff == 'on') { ?><p class="cb-byline vcard"><?php printf(__('z dnia <time class="updated" datetime="%2$s" pubdate>%3$s</time>', 'cubell'), cb_get_the_author_posts_link(), get_the_time('Y-m-j'), get_the_time(get_option('date_format')) ); ?></p><?php } ?>
<div class="cb-excerpt">
<?php echo cb_clean_excerpt(150, true); ?>
</div>
<div class="cb-bottom-white"></div>
</article> <!-- end article -->
<?php
$i++;
endwhile;
?>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<?php
cb_page_navi();
endif;
?>
EDIT No.2:
Maybe listing using archives template would be easier? The archive template loads a view template and the code goes like this:
<?php get_header();
$cb_sidebar_position = ot_get_option('cb_sidebar_position', 'cb_sidebar_right');
?>
<div id="cb-content" class="wrap clearfix">
<div id="main" class="<?php if ($cb_sidebar_position == 'cb_sidebar_left'){echo 'left-sidebar';} ?> clearfix" role="main">
<?php if (is_day()) { ?>
<h1 class="archive-title">
<span><?php _e("Daily Archives:", "cubell"); ?></span> <?php the_time('l, F j, Y'); ?>
</h1>
<?php } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
<h1 class="archive-title">
<span><?php _e("Monthly Archives:", "cubell"); ?></span> <?php the_time('F Y'); ?>
</h1>
<?php } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
<h1 class="archive-title">
<span><?php _e("Yearly Archives:", "cubell"); ?></span> <?php the_time('Y'); ?>
</h1>
<?php } ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) {
get_template_part('cat', 'style-b');
} ?>
</div> <!-- end #main -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!-- end #cb-content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
so get_template_part('cat', 'style-b');
is taking care of layout but function/reference to all posts needs to be added… Any ideas? 🙂
