\n(using shortcodes) or a widget.

\n","installation":"

Go to the \\’Add New\\’ plugins screen in your WordPress admin area
Search for \\’The Loops\\’
Click \\’Install Now\\’ and activate the plugin
Go the \\’Loops\\’ menu under \\’Appearance\\’

\n","faq":"\n

How to use?

Click on the \\’Loops\\’ link in the \\’Appearance\\’ menu, click \\’Add New\\’ to
\nadd a new loop. Use the shortcode provided or go to the widgets screen
\nto add the loop to a sidebar.

How to add custom templates?

Copy a default template file from the directory \\’tl-templates\\’ in the
\nplugin directory to your theme directory. Then feel free to modify it to
\nyour liking!

The template\\’s header must contain the line:
\n * The Loops Template: List of excerpts

How to add register custom templates directories ?

Use a function hooked on filter \\”tl_templates_directories\\” eg.

add_filter(\\'tl_templates_directories\\',my_plugin_tl_templates_directory);\n\nfunction my_plugin_tl_templates_directory($directories){\n    $directories[]=MYPLUGIN_ABSOLUTE_DIR; //change this to the absolute directory you want to be checked for templates\n    return $directories;\n}\n

The Loops will then check in MYPLUGIN_ABSOLUTE_DIR if there is valid templates which it can use; and they will be available through The Loops options.
