IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WORDPRESS 2.0 USERS: This plugin doesn’t work under WordPress 2.0. I honestly do not know that it ever will, but I won’t say “never.” As you can tell, I haven’t upgraded to 2.0 myself. When and if that happens and I reach the same point of frustration with the limitations of the post viewing interface in that version, I may have the impetus to update it. Sorry for any inconvenience.
At long last, it’s finally ready for an initial release. Announcing the Enhanced Views plugin for WordPress. This plugin replaces the original Posts functionality in the WordPress administration interface with a new version that include increased functionality, including:
- Paging through posts with easy-to-use Next and Previous page links as well as links to individual page numbers.
- Easily selectable number of posts per page.
- Browsing by Category, Author, and Date.
- Sorting by selectable columns.
If you want it, go get it.

I agree with AlanT. It is a VERY simple fix. Simply replace all instances of “nickname” with “nicename” (Why they changed this I’ll never know… bug?) and everything seems to work. Yes, there are some weird display oddities, but they are minor and the increased functionality is completely worth it.
Hi, sorry to post a comment to this posting, but the plugin-page for Customizable Post Listings doesn’t exist anymore.
I’m very interested in your modification to exclude one category from the post listing. Could you please send me your modification or give me a link where I can download this?
Thank you very much
kind regards from Vienna

i can’t get to your wp2.0 patched version, but i managed to patch it myself enough to work, so for other visitors:
find “function EVdropdownauthors(“, modify the $users line in there to:
$users = $wpdb->getresults( “SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY usernicename”);
notice nicEname. a few lines later you need to change nicKname to nicEname again in the line starting $return_string
that’s enough to work, though with some display oddities. I’ve also find in safari that you get text fields that are meant to be invisible. search for “type = “hidden”" and add extra lines like this:
i’ve only done it on “hiddenAuthor” and “hiddenCat”
Strange, since moving to a new host, the plug-in no longer works. It doesn’t display the new boxes like it is supposed to do, and when I do a search I get:
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 '-1' at line 19] SELECT posts.*, CASE WHEN posts.posttitle REGEXP ‘china’ THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS keywordintitle, MATCH ( posts.posttitle, posts.postcontent ) AGAINST ( ‘china’ ) AS mysqlscore FROM wpposts as posts WHERE posts.postdategmt <= ‘2006-05-24 19:16:00′ AND ( posts.postpassword = ” ) AND ( posts.poststatus = ’static’ OR posts.poststatus = ‘publish’ ) AND ( posts.posttitle REGEXP ‘china’ OR posts.postcontent REGEXP ‘china’ ) ORDER BY keywordintitle DESC, mysqlscore DESC, posts.postdate DESC LIMIT 0, -1

I’m running WP 1.5.2 and am having the same problem as the people above who said that an earlier verison of your plugin simply wasn’t doing or displaying anything at all — it’s activated, but I still get the regular edit interface. I read every comment above, I tried eliminating apostrophes from my category names, but I can’t figure out what to do and it’s still not working. I am using version 0.4 of your plugin, and the problem exists in both Safari 2.0.3 and Firefox 1.5.0.1.

Sorry for the delay, so many things need to be done at the same time… But here it is: http://mvdkwast.free.fr/stilglog/index.php/wordpress-plugins/enhanced-post-views/
This version makes the enhanced views plugin work with WordPress 2.0. I also made some small modifications so it can be extended using plugins.
Kevin: The version I sent to you had some problems with Internet Explorer. They are fixed now.
