Pages or more blogs? WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi!
I have a question about how to work with pages. For example in the menu, i have book of the month, i want to use pages with pagination, like 12-20 items, the page should feed from the blog..Something like this below for example.. This is my page, http://visualdesignworkshop.com/
<article><!-- START MAIN CONTENT -->
<?php query_posts( array(
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'cat' => 120,
'post_type' => 'post',
'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1 ),
));
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<section>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</section>
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<p>Searching and there isn't there!</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</article> <!-- END MAIN CONTENT -->
This is an example and all pagination isn't there, but is this a good way to work with pages or not?
Best Regards
Felipe

you can also create a category "Books of the month" and the create posts of the category then use category.php to show the content with pagination
Arnav Joy comments:
use following code to category.php
<article><!-- START MAIN CONTENT -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<section>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</section>
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/nav.php' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<p>Searching and there isn't there!</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</article> <!-- END MAIN CONTENT -->

i was thinking of doing something like this but, does this work with all different alternatives? I have a lot of different monthly stuff.. I'm beginner with php so..please keep that in mind :)

what do you mean by "all different alternatives" ? do you mean , beside books you have other things to be shown ?
if yes then yes , you can create category approach for this all will work.
Veritus comments:
yes, exactly..as you see in the menu, there is a lot of different topics..
Arnav Joy comments:
ok try the category approach and let me know if you have any problem

Yes it should work something like this:
global $query_string;
parse_str( $query_string, $my_query_array );
$paged = ( isset( $my_query_array['paged'] ) && !empty( $my_query_array['paged'] ) ) ? $my_query_array['paged'] : 1;
query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=3&paged='.$paged);
With your parameters.
