This is done for you - ie:
https://pyrocms.com/posts/tags/ecommerce
https://pyrocms.com/posts/categories/releases
And you can edit those views by overloading them: https://pyrocms.com/videos/series/extending-pyrocms/overriding-views
OR.. if you wanna plop this code in custom somewhere-ness you can do something like this:
{% category = entries('posts', 'categories').findBySlug('foo') %}
{% for post in entries('posts').whereCategory(category.id).recent().take(5).get() %}
{{ post.title }} - {{ post.custom_field }}
{% endfor %}
You would need to write a seeder for migrating from your old to new database most likely.
If I were you - I would setup the new posts module the way you need it - then write a small script to migrate it over using the newer tools.
Setup a second connection for your old database and have a modal like OldPostModel use that connection to retrieve them.
Does that make sense?
