Plugin Description

This plugin creates the [Category]] Shortcode. The code takes 5 arguments:

number: the number of posts to display. 0 equals the default number. -1 equals the total available.

Order: Ascending or Descending

Display Method: Full, Excerpt, Title

Order By: Author, Date, Title, Modified, Parent, ID, Rand, None, or Comment Count.

Category: this is the category id the category or categories that should be searched. Multiple categories can be specified in a comma separated list.

Example shortcode:

[Category number=’5′ method=’title’ order=’asc’ id=’11,45′ orderby=’comment_count’]

This will show 5 posts in ascending order of category 11 and 45 as arranged by comment_count and will display just the post titles.
