If you use this template, think about donating to me. I spent many long hours figuring out how to do this, testing an debugging it. Sending me a donation will encourage me to continue to support this template and Atahualpa.

This PAGE template will allow you to use one template on any number of pages and have different options per page. It is a combination of a custom query and multi-column template (variable columns per page).
* you can code a custom query...or not
* you can choose to display the page TITLE...or not
* you can choose to display the page TEXT...or not
* you can define multiple columns...as many as you want, 1 to n (but any more that 5 or 6 makes them very narrow (with CSS you can define how wide each column should be)
* you can display x posts above the column
And the settings are unique to each page you use the template on.
============
INSTALLATION
============
This template currently (as of version 3.7.5) is included with the theme
1) download the attached file and unzip it.
2) upload it to your Atahualpa folder
3) edit a page in the backend and select the template '
JUGGLEDAD's Multi Column/Custom Query'
============
USAGE
============
If you wish to have multiple columns, add a custom field called 'number_of_columns' and put a number in the value field.
If you wish to have a post (or 3 or 10) above the columns, add a custom field called 'posts_above_the_column' and put a number in the value field.
If you wish to have show the page 'title', add a custom field called 'show_page_title' and put 'yes' or 'no' in the value field
If you wish to have show the page 'text', add a custom field called 'show_page_text' and put 'yes' or 'no' in the value field
If you wish to have custom query, add a custom field called 'custom_query' and put a custom query in the value field.
to craft a query, go to
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_...ce/query_posts
to see the variations you can code. You use what is inside the quotes. For example, if you see
query_posts('cat=2,6,17,38');
you would only enter
cat=2,6,17,38
into the custom field.
Here are some sample queries:
category_name=Direction
category_name='Staff House'
tag=animal
post_status=publish&posts_per_page=10
post_status=draft
post_type='movie' (yes you can use custom post types)
post_type='page' (you can have a page of 'pages')
====================
controlling the column widths
====================
You can easily control how wide the post columns will be by adding a couple selectors and rules to the 'CSS Inserts' option. By adding the 'body.page-id-nnnn' to the CSS Selector, you can customize the width per page. For example: Here is what might add for a three column page and a four column page
body.page-id-1493 .mccq_column1 {width: 33%;}
body.page-id-1493 .mccq_column2 {width: 33%;}
body.page-id-1493 .mccq_column3 {width: 33%;}
body.page-id-2367 .mccq_column1 {width: 20%;}
body.page-id-2367 .mccq_column2 {width: 20%;}
body.page-id-2367 .mccq_column3 {width: 10%;}
body.page-id-2367 .mccq_column4 {width: 50%;}
