JPF Category Feeds WordPress Plugin
The JPF Category Feed plugin allows you to easily list the RSS category feeds for your post. It is quite flexible, allowing a number of parameters that can derive horizontal and vertical listings or even ‘sentence’ form. Installation is simple, copy the jpf_catfeed.php file to your WordPress plugins folder and activate in your Plugins Management tab. The optional rss.gif file can be copied anywhere in your site, and can be referred to as specified below. Then, place the following code in ‘the loop’:
<?php jpf_catfeed([Image], [Images], [Before], [After], [Separator], [And]); ?>
- Image is the path to an image that will preceed the list. The image is not linked to anything, it is simply decorative.
- Images is an image that will preceed each category link, the image is included as part of the link.
- Before is anything you want to preceed each category link, commonly this would be used to define each category as a line item in a list, or to define CSS, but could also be brackets or other symbols.
- After would typically be used to close a tag that was opened with Before
- Separator is the text you want to separate the category links, most commonly a comma and space, or a vertical bar.
- And defines if you want the word ‘and’ followed by a space to separate the last two items, generally used if you are listing the categories in a sentence format. Set to true if you wish to use.
If you simply include <?php jpf_catfeed(); ?> you will get a line of your categories separated by a vertical bar (eg. “category1|category2|category3″).
Here are some examples of it’s use:
In this example, wrapping the function in an unordered list, and specifying $before = ‘<li>’ and $after = ‘</li>’ will give you a simple unordered list of your categories.
<ul><?php jpf_catfeed(”,”, ‘<li>’, ‘</li>’); ?></ul>
category1
category2
category3
Here an icon is included before each link. The icon is part of the hyperlink to that category.
<?php jpf_catfeed(”,’/wp-images/icons/rss.gif’, ”, ”, ‘, ‘); ?>
category1,
Here the separator is changed to a vertical bar with a space on each side instead of a comma followed by a space.
<?php jpf_catfeed(”,’/wp-images/icons/rss.gif’, ”, ”, ‘ | ‘); ?>
Here an icon is included before the first category, a comma and space is used to separate the items, and the last category is preceeded by ‘and’ instead of a comma.
<?php jpf_catfeed(‘/wp-images/icons/rss.gif’,”, ”, ”, ‘, ‘, true); ?>

If it’s good, why you don’t use it? Just wondering…
Funny you should ask. I’ve been slowly moving things around on my site, and I develped the plugin as part of that move. It will be appearing in my site very soon, as I introduce a frame that has feeds from post comments, post categories, and all posts on the site…

Hello Joe,
I have installed your plugin but it’s not working in my site.
Apart from installing your plugin do I have to make any changes
somewhere else?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ezio.
You shouldn’t have to make any changes to your templates beyond the line to all the function as I’ve described above. For example, to get mine (in the ‘Upate Notifications’ box on the top right) I put
<?php jpf_catfeed('','/wp-images/icons/rss.gif', '<li>', '</li>'); ?>in my sidebar. What did you put in and where did you put it? In your comment back, but <code> before your code and </code> after your code so it shows up here properly.Hi Joe,
this is the code:
', ''); ?>and I put it in the sidebar
sorry the code didn’t come out:
Not sure why your code isn’t showing up in the comment, and my e-mail to you was rejected. It seems to work fine in both my sidebars. Are you looking at it on a post, or on your home page? If you put it in your sidebar, it won’t work properly on a non-single page as their would be more than one post available (I’m guessing you’d see the feeds for the last post, but not sure). I have mine in my sidebar, but I have it set to only show up if it’s a single page (one post). You can do this by using this code
If you try posting your code again, use [ and ] instead of < and >, maybe it will work (though as you can see above, my code is appearing without problem).
can u widget it plz
Then, place the following code in ‘the loop’:
where to add it ?
Anywhere you want the link to appear. I have mine in my sidebar, and it seems to work fine there, but between your post and the comments is probably a more typical spot.
i will use it in my sidebar but i have alot of themes as i use it for wpmu so can u widget it

Hi, if I want to list only specific categories (not all), how do I do that? Thanks
Their’s probably some way to modify the plugin to do that, but it can’t by default, and I wouldn’t know how to make it work. Sorry.

This is a great idea for a plugin, but unfortunately when I tried to use it, it would only display one category feed, which was based on what category my latest post happened to be in. Weird. Oh well, guess I’ll have to do it manually.
Thanks! Very good plugin =)!
Couldn’t get this working with 2.1.2 WordPress, even after taking your exact code as a test case. Insertion into sidebar.php. Has this been tested with 2.1.2?
