== Description ==
This plugin allows you to get the latest posts from the blogs in your network and display them in your site using shortcodes or a widget.
Based in the WPMU Recent Posts Widget by Angelo (http://bitfreedom.com/). For further details please visit: http://en.8elite.com/2012/02/27/network-latest-posts-wordpress-3-plugin/ [English] http://es.8elite.com/2012/02/27/network-latest-posts-wordpress-3-plugin/ [Español] http://fr.8elite.com/2012/03/22/network-latest-posts-extension-pour-wordpress-3/ [Français]
This plugin works with Wordpress 3 Network (multisites)
== Installation ==
1. Upload `network-latest-posts folder` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. If you want to use the Widget, you can add the Network Latest Posts widget under 'Appearance->Widgets'
4. If you want to use the Shortcode, go to a page or post then write [nlposts] (that's it, seriously!)
== Options ==
* Number of posts to show - list this many posts.
* Number of days to limit - only go back this number of days to get posts. Set to 0 for no limit (default).
* Title Only - if false it will show the excerpt for each post. True by default.
* Display latest posts by Blog ID
* Display posts by custom type (post, page, etc)
* Ignore Blog IDs
* Filter by Categories (NEW)
* Filter by Tags (NEW)
* Paginate results (NEW)
You can style the output using CSS, the list of classes used below:
* .network-latest-posts (content wrapper)
* .network-latest-posts-sectitle (if a title for the shortcode has been set)
* .network-posts-title (post's title)
* .network-posts-source (where the post comes from)
* .network-posts-excerpt (the post's excerpt)
* .network-posts-pagination (pagination links)
There's also a second class named added to the content wrapper "blog-X" where X is the ID of each blog so you can add a different
style for each block of posts inside a blog.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Why did you do this plugin? =
Because I have 3 blogs and I needed a way to display the latest posts from them in the main blog of my Network.
= If I want you to add a new feature, will you do it? =
I like new ideas, but I'm kind of busy finishing the second year of my master's degree so I can't promise I will add everything people proposes but
I'll do my best to add the best ideas as soon as I have the time and as long as they don't break the actual state of the plugin.
= What do I need in order to make this plugin work for me? =
Technically nothing, but the new pagination feature uses jQuery to load the content without reloading the page. It's prettier that way but it's up
to you.
= I can't see the thumbnails =
Your theme have to support thumbnails, just add this to the function.php inside your theme folder:
`add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');`
= My theme support thumbnails, but I can't see them =
When creating a post or page make sure you set the Featured Image option, also check you're not using a plugin that changes the urls in your blog. If
so, you'll have to hack the code please read this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-network-latest-posts-problem-thumbnails
