Customize the number of Teasers per page/category/archive

This feature was added in Thesis 1.8 after the initial Thesis 1.8 release. Make sure you download the latest copy of Thesis before trying this out.

Thesis 1.8 introduces a new filter, which enables us to modify the number of teasers that appear on our home page or any other page.

add_filter('thesis_is_teaser', 'thesify_is_teaser');
function thesify_is_teaser($is_teaser)
{
static $post_count;
$post_count = $post_count ? $post_count + 1 : 1;

// show 4 feature posts, the rest as teasers on the
// category archives for Lorem
if( is_category('Lorem') )
{
return $post_count > 4;
}
// show 2 feature posts, the rest as teasers on the home page
if( is_home() )
{
return $post_count > 2;
}
// inverts the order of feature posts / teasers on the category
// archives for 'Ipsum'. first 4 posts become teasers, rest featured
if( is_category('Ipsum') )
{
return $post_count <= 4;
}
// return the defaults for the rest
return $is_teaser;
}
