   Hi,

   I am using a plug-in; “d13slideshow” which allows you to add 1 post slideshow displaying any category, it works, but I would like to have multiple sliders anywhere so I use;

   <?php
   $args = array(
   'numberposts' => 10,
   'category' => 9,
   'orderby' => rand
   );
   
   $lastposts = get_posts($args);
   foreach($lastposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
           <?php
   $ID_Array[]=$post->ID;
   ?>
           <?php endforeach; ?>
           <?php d13slideshow(array($ID_Array[0], $ID_Array[1], $ID_Array[2], $ID_Array[3], $ID_Array[4], $ID_Array[5], $ID_Array[6], $ID_Array[7], $ID_Array[8], $ID_Array[9])); ?>

   However I would like to place this code in category.php, and have “ 'category' => 9, ” dynamically detect the category, so I found this;

   <?php
   if (is_category()) {
   global $wp_query;
   $cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   echo $cat_obj->name . " is id ". $cat_obj->term_id;
   }
      ?>

   That works, but how can I combine this?

   Got so fed up with trying to figure out how to code this simple PHP function, I contacted justanswerDOTcom and they solved the issue within 25 minutes for $22 USD. Well, that works for me!

   <?php
   function getCurrentCategoryId()
   {
   	if (is_category()) {
   		global $wp_query;
   		$cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   		return $cat_obj->term_id;
   	}
   	return -1;
   }
   
   $args = array(
   
   'numberposts' => 3,
   
   'category' => getCurrentCategoryId(),
   
   'orderby' => rand
   
   );
   
   $lastposts = get_posts($args);
   
   foreach($lastposts as $post) :
   
   setup_postdata($post);
   
   ?>
   
   <?php
   
   $ID_Array[]=$post->ID;
   
   ?>
   
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   
   <?php d13slideshow(array($ID_Array[0], $ID_Array[1], $ID_Array[2], $ID_Array[3], $ID_Array[4], $ID_Array[5], $ID_Array[6], $ID_Array[7], $ID_Array[8], $ID_Array[9])); ?>
