Mashup of mashups?

[BradSiegfried]

Hi Chris,

I have two mashups that I would like to combine.  What would be the best way to do this?  The example I am working with is below.  It involves combining query results for different post types.  I didn’t find an example of how to do that in the documentation.

[mashup query="post_type=units" width="98%" height="600" marker_link="true"]

[mashup query="post_type=post&category_name=Crime" width="98%" height="600" marker_link="true"]

Thanks.

Brad

Hi,

If it helps, the full query reference is here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

I think you can just use post_type, separating the types with commas.  For example, for posts & units:

query="post_type=post,units"

You can also use this to get all post types (in which case you’ll need to identify the relevant posts by category, tag, or something else):

query="post_type=any"

Hi Chris,

Thanks, that was just the ticket.  I used this shortcode syntax that worked fine:

[mashup query="post_type=crimes,units" width="98%" height="600" marker_link="true"]

(I also made a new custom post type “crimes” rather than leaving those as generic “posts.”)

The info at http://thereforei.am/2011/10/28/advanced-taxonomy-queries-with-pretty-urls/ was also very helpful.
