CodeAndColourHi All,
I am creating a static homepage for my project that will require 3x loops:
1) Display the latest 4 posts from news category.
2) Display the latest 4 post from shows category.
3) Image slider at the start of the page displaying 3 latest three posts from slider category.
I have loops 1 & 2 working in the code below, but am unable to get my third loop working before them. My slider posts are simple a title and a custom field "slider-image" that contains the full image url.
<!-- Begin Content -->
<div id="content">
<div class="wrap">
<div class="round-top"></div>
<div id="main-content">
<div id="news-col" class="left">
<h2>Latest Rally News</h2>
<?php if(is_home()) {query_posts('cat=1&showposts=4'); } ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post (); ?>
<div class="date left">
<p class="month"><?php the_time(M); ?></p>
<p class="day"><?php the_time(d); ?></p>
</div>
<h3>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h3>
<p><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?></p>
<div class="clearboth"></div>
<?php endwhile;?>
</div>
<div id="shows-col" class="right">
<h2>Previous Shows</h2>
<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=4'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post (); ?>
<h3>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h3>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile;?>
</div>
<div class="clearboth"></div>
</div>
<div class="round-bottom"></div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End Content -->My latest attempt is:
<div id="s3slider">
<ul id="s3sliderContent">
<?php query_posts('cat=4'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post (); ?>
<li class="s3sliderImage">
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, “slider-image”, $single = true); ?>" alt=”<?php the_title(); ?>” />
<span><?php the_excerpt(); ?></span>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="clear s3sliderImage"></div>
</ul>
</div>This is not working as no image shows up. I have tried another option using $my_query = new WP_query but that did not work either.
Can you help me close this gap in my knowledge?
