The time I installed iwp.me I planed to design a special theme for it. I just want to say sorry to iwp.me, cause’ I am very very very busy. Every day I should update one or two posts on my Chinese blog GENMICHA – it’s about web2.0 and some online apps and softwares. And I am a University student and I have to go to take those boring classes, anything about social work. I don’t like my major.

And the chance is comming – I’m having a 7-day-long holiday (September 29th ~ October 5th) . I’ve spent 4 days to have a trip to another city by bicycle and I am now have 3 days left. So I decide to work it out. In fact, I am already working on it now. Look at the picture below, it’s the private theme’s draft, I drawn them while I was taking Case Work Class:-).

It will be a 2-column theme with comfortable light color, simple but suitable for iwp.me. In the following days, I will work hard to make it out. Some of its functions may be hard to achieve but I will try and try.

Now, I have to work;-)

Copy codes below and paste to your theme:

< ?php function popular_posts($no_posts = 5, $before = '<li>', $after = '', $show_pass_post = false, $duration='') {
global $wpdb;
$request = "SELECT ID, post_title, COUNT($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID) AS 'comment_count' FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->comments";
$request .= " WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND $wpdb->posts.ID=$wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID AND post_status = 'publish'";
if(!$show_pass_post) $request .= " AND post_password =''";
if($duration !="") { $request .= " AND DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL ".$duration." DAY) < post_date ";
}
$request .= " GROUP BY $wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT $no_posts";
$posts = $wpdb->get_results($request);
$output = '';
if ($posts) {
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$post_title = stripslashes($post->post_title);
$comment_count = $post->comment_count;
$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
$output .= $before . '<a href="' . $permalink . '" title="' . $post_title.'">' . $post_title . '</a> (' . $comment_count.')' . $after;
}
} else {
$output .= $before . "None found" . $after;
}
echo $output;
} ?>
< ?php most_popular_posts(); ?>

You can change the number of posts you want to show by change the “5″ in “$no_posts = 5″. Enjoy it!

Just add the codes below to your sidebar or anywhere you want:

< ?php $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&orderby=rand');
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">< ?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
< ?php endforeach; ?>

The 5 in the codes above is the numble of those posts will display. Yes, it is very easy!
