I’ve been working on the layout for the new Open Source Lab Blogs site, and came across a problem. We wanted our front page to be an aggregation of our individual blogs. It was easy to get the articles aggregated using RSS feeds and FeedWordPress Plugin. It even sorted our articles into categories very nicely, but wasn’t compatible with other category listing plugins. We wanted the article linking back to the source blog, an option provided by FeedWordPress.
I built a category plugin that uses the built in query & display functions to list all posts from a category. It should be compatible with any other plugin that modifies the links for articles.
