So basically this. All tutorials or help say I need to have something like

echo '<a class='front workitem' href=" '.the_permalink()' ">';

Which doesnt seem to work. The current one I have just pulls .the_permalink.
Im assuming I need to add something to my array and then hook it in, but I'm not the best with args and hooks more of a CSS guy.

Any help would be great.


Code

<?php
$args = array(
'posts-per-page' => 6,
'cat' => 2,
'order' => 'DESC'
);
query_posts( $args );
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo "<article class='pure-u-1-2'>";
echo "<a class='front workitem' href='.the_permalink()'>";
echo get_the_post_thumbnail();
echo "</a>";
echo "<a class='back workitem' href='.the_permalink()'>";
echo "<div class='tiletitle'>";
echo get_the_title();
echo "</div>";
echo "<span class='btn'>View Project</span>";
echo "</a>";
echo "</article>";
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
?>

Fairly certain you don't want to use echo with the_permalink() function. If he was using get_permalink() it'd be a different story.

I PM'd him some code the other day, curious as to whether or not it is working.

Code
<?php

$args = array(
'posts-per-page' => 6,
'cat' => 2,
'order' => 'DESC'
);

query_posts( $args );

if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();

$permalink = get_permalink();
$thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail();
$title = get_the_title();
$output = '';

$output .= "<article class='pure-u-1-2'>";
$output .= "<a class='front workitem' href='$permalink'>";
$output .= $thumbnail;
$output .= "</a>";
$output .= "<a class='back workitem' href='$permalink'>";
$output .= "<div class='titletitle'>";
$output .= $title;
$output .= "</div>";
$output .= "<span class='btn'>View Project</span>";
$output .= "</a>";
$output .= "</article>";

echo $output;

endwhile;
endif;

wp_reset_query();

?>

my main intention was to show him 'correct' syntax for using html / php together.

Oh yah, I understand. His concantation was off slightly.

I adjusted it to only call echo once as I was told that from a performance issue it is faster to do so. Same with not closing out the php tags and reopening it.

Though I've heard the other end of the argument with closing php tags when you're doing actual html.

So whatever, to each their own.

That $output code is horrible, don't .= it all out, use one variable and echo.

And it's not working because you're missing a period (.) before the (').

Works perfectly. Thanks for all the help guys. I wanted to read through all the comments and try to learn what I could from it as I've worked with hook snippets, but don't really code them from scratch much.


One more question though.

This is pulling 7 from the category even though this is in the array.

Any idea why its not working?

Code
'posts-per-page' => 6,
