micknichollsI've been doing some editing to the way the homepage looks and making it so each category shows 2 posts on the homepage. What I want to do is to be able to exclude a few of the categories on the homepage though so not every one is represented.
<div class="home-wrapper">
<div class="home-left">
<!--Begin recent post-->
<div class="home-post-wrap">
<?php
//for each category, show 3 posts
$cat_args=array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$categories=get_categories($cat_args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
$args=array(
'showposts' => 2,
'category__in' => array($category->term_id),
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
$posts=get_posts($args);
if ($posts) {
echo '<div class="cat-title">' . $category->name.'<div class="cat-title-right"> <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>More...</a></div></div>';
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<h2 class="titles"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','PureType'), get_the_title()) ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></h2>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/postinfo-create.php'); ?>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<?php $width = 70;
$height = 70;
$classtext = '';
$titletext = get_the_title();
$thumbnail = get_thumbnail($width,$height,$classtext,$titletext,$titletext);
$thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"]; ?>
<?php if($thumb != '') { ?>
<div class="thumbnail-div">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('Permanent Link to %s','PureType'), get_the_title()) ?>">
<?php print_thumbnail($thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height, $classtext); ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php truncate_post(250) ?>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<?php
} // foreach($posts
} // if ($posts
} // foreach($categories
?>
</div>
<!--End recent post-->
</div>
<div class="home-right">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar("Homepage") ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>Really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
