[...] Best of all, I’m now using Coldforged-style “Asides” — you’ll find them on the main page in the little boxes. They’re ideal for those one-liners that don’t merit a full blog post. Often, that’s all I have time for — or can come up with — so having “Asides” means I’m likely to update the page far more often. Since you can leave comments on the Asides as well as on the entries, I hope they’ll help increase the site’s interactivity. [...]

Asides

That&#8217;s how these little notes up here are called. I implemented them following the instructions given by ColdForged, who I thank very much.

Thank you very much for this great plugin/ -addition.
the category exclusion works like a charm.

i got only one problem: %postcategoryurl% always links to ‘$cat= ‘
the number for the actual category is missing and you got redirected to the startpage. any ideas, whats happening? my programming skills are next to non-existent and i cant find a soultion, sorry to bother you with this.

I get the following error in the most recent entries listing:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1] SELECT categorynicename FROM wpcategories WHERE cat_ID=

How to fix that ?

There must be, that's the way mine are :). It sounds to me like you have the line $asides_offset = 0; inside the loop of your posts. Move that line outside The Loop. Here's where I define it in my template:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
            <?php $asides_offset = 0;?>
            <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Note that the declaration of $asides_offset is outside the while() loop.

is there any way to not have it post the same aside before/after every post? i’d really like to impliment this, but my first “test” aside post is displayed between every post on the main page. it’d be a lot better if, should i have it set to display asides in groups of three ala your example, it would only display one block at a time until it’s full before making a second.

what i mean is that if i only have one aside listing, only one aside is shown at the bottom of the first post rather than at the bottom of every post on the page. when a second aside is added it also gets added to the first aside area, then a third filling the first area. when the fourth is added the plugin only then makes the second aside area below the second post containg a single aside. this function might be in there somewhere, but i wasn’t able to find it…
