Adding a carousel to the category template

Hi,

Thank you for replying, yes that is what I want, but even with that link I’m not sure how to achieve it. I am not much good with PHP, copy, paste and hope for the best is not working this time…

I need a query that asks:

If a user is on category A then the page grabs the first 6 posts from A then lists the rest (7 – Nth) underneath, stoping after say 20 and paging the rest.

If they land on category B I want the same to happen, so one loop for all categories.

This is my very very poor code:

<h2 class="page-title"><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h2>

// If less than page 2
<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) : ?>

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

	<div class="flexslider">
	<ul class="slides">
	<?php
    $custom_query = new WP_Query(array(
// Somehow get the current category ID... this does not work...
    	'category' => $cat_obj,
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'orderby' => 'none',
        'posts_per_page' => '6',
        'offset' => '1',
        'paged' => (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1
    ));
    while ($custom_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
    ?>
	<li class="carousel-article">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
			<article>
			<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
			<div>
				<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
					<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
					<?php the_category(); ?>
			</div>
			</article>
			</a>
	</li>
	<?php endwhile;?>
	</ul>
	</div>

// Then display the rest of the results, this does not work well either
	<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
		<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
		<div>
			<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->
	</article><!-- #post -->

	<?php else : ?>
// on page two and beyond show even more of the results
	<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
		<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
		<div>
			<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->
	</article><!-- #post -->

	<?php endif; ?>
