thispcneedshelpok i have tryed the_expert and the_content but to NO avail. i had plugins to load images in expert as well. this is what i am trying to do.
Parent page: the homepage content <-- this is where the customer puts content child paged to load in the home page.
child page: home page block content 1 <-- this is where the customer creates ONE story with photos if needed
child page: home page block content 2 <-- this is where the customer creates ONE story with photos if needed
Customs template for homepage:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Home Page
*/
?><?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main-content">
<ul id="featured-articals">
<?php query_posts("posts_per_page=2&post_type=page&post_parent=57"); the_post(); ?>
<li>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- END main-content -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>OK this code is to load the child pages one at a time for only the fist 2 child pages correct?
Next i want to have the IMAGE in the post displayed as well. i have read you need plugins to do this. i have tried about 5 or 6 and gave up. for some reason the "the_excerpt" tag just will not pull the image. what i am ultimately looking for is i want only 25 words pulled from the page and placed on the home page WITH the image. I'm at a loss here today. i messed with this for 4.5 hours yesterday and can't figure it out.
Can anyone help?
