I'm trying to use some code I found to add numbers next to post titles in wordpress. I'm getting a unexpected t string error when using it. Any idea what the problem is?

Code:

<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) {

$my_paged = 0;

} else {

$my_paged = ($paged ? 1) * get_option(?posts_per_page?);         <---this is the line thats causing the error it says.

}

$count = 1;

?>

Maybe you puted code to wrong wordpress file ?

is get_option(‘posts_per_page’) defined?

Hell if I know. These are the instructions I followed.

try replacing this

Code:

$my_paged = ($paged ? 1) * get_option(?posts_per_page?); <---this is the line thats

with this:

Code:

$my_paged = ($paged ? 1) * get_option('posts_per_page'); <---this is the line thats

wrong quotes, use single quotes -> '

I'm still getting the same error on the same line.

Please don't listen to harvey, pete or woj. What you need here is to replace the ` backtick with a single quote character.

lol

It must be something else then. Try: get_option( "posts_per_page" )
just to compare

Aldo 0 * something can generate an error...

Nothing seems to work :)

It's probably something else. Paste the lines before and after that, and or the exact error message.

I've moved it around which doesn't seem to help either.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in *****/index.php on line 43

Code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>



<?php $key="featured_external"; $custom = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>



<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) {

$my_paged = 0;

} else {

$my_paged = ($paged ? 1) * get_option('posts_per_page');

}

$count = 1;

?>

<div class="site clearfix" id="rgmevlsotukficza6158">



<a href="<?php $key="featured_external"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>"title="<?php the_title(); ?>">

well, the code is pretty much a mess and it has several things to fix, but related to this function, I'd say your problem is in the formatting AGAIN. Just replace those ?. ?; with ". "; and see if it solves the issue. Also, I don't know why you need those strange id or 2 different clears or class + id for the same element, just clean things up and it will be a lot easier for you to locate errors :2 cents:

The minus character is not a minus character in this:
($paged – 1)

Fix that and you should be good.

I think the copy+paste just does that for a lot of people who copy code from blogs.

Cool. It had to be ( $paged ? 1 )

That removed the error but fuckin a now it just shows the number 1 next to every post. This is annoying :)

You keep resetting $count = 1; at the top of the loop.
change $count = 1; to this
if ( ! isset( $count ) ) $count = 1;

Alright I just pulled it back out of the loop and it's working right now. Thanks for all the help guys!

when you see code on a blog like that
http://blog.dembowski.net/2007/08/02/numbered-titles/

Mouseover the code snippet, and look at the icons. mouseover each of those and select either the view source, or copy to clipboard. That'd fix the errors introduced by trying to copy/paste the code from the blog formatting.

that sure is messy code ;)

It's from a template I'm changing to a wordpress theme. I haven't edited the html yet. I know there's a bunch of unneeded crap in there. As far as the php goes...I'm not a programmer but it works.
