list specific posts plugin [shortcode] -WordPress

Although I have been writing plugins for the websites I create for sometime, this is the first plugin that I actually release to the WordPress community.

Please note that this is an early release and has not been fully tested with all setups.
I always say backup your database before ever installing a plugin, some say I am too careful…
Although this plugin does not touch your database.

So here goes this basically enables you to list specific posts within a wordpress post or page, via an easy shortcode.

The general use is:
[postlist includeposts=your-post-ids]

this will give you a un-ordered list of the posts that you specified by post ID

for example:

in this post: listing posts: 1612, 1592
[postlist includeposts=1612, 1592 excerpt=yes image=yes]

[postlist includeposts=1612, 1592 excerpt=yes ]

[postlist includeposts=1612, 1592 excerpt=yes ]

This plugin adds some styling possibilities for you

[postlist includeposts=1612,1592]
or
[postlist includeposts=1612,1592 excerpt=yes]
<div class="listpost-plugin"> <ul class="listpost-plugin-ul"> <li class="listpost-plugin-li">normal list posts with either title or excerpt</li> </ul> </div>

or if you want images ……

[postlist includeposts=1612,1592 excerpt=yes image=yes]
gives
<div class="listpost-plugin"> <ul class="listpost-plugin-ul"> <li class="listpost-plugin-li-img">list posts with image=yes</li> </ul> </div>

styling here as eg
.listpost-plugin{your style here for the div}
ul.listpost-plugin-ul{your style here for the ul}
li.listpost-plugin-li{your style here for the li}
li.listpost-plugin-li-img{your style here for the img eg: height:150px;}
