Featured Category

Hi,

Altough this answers the question, it assumes that there is knowledge of programming. Would you be able to tell me what to put in the index.php and or another php config file?

Or is there a plugin that would work?

Hi,

The ÜRL to my site is www2.graceministries.nl

The theme I am using is Arqua by MagPress.com

Link: http://www.magpress.com/index.php?s=arqua

I switch the Featured category on in my theme options and it is displayed on the sidebar.

Does this help?

Hallo,

The featured category is now displayed it is called uitgelicht.
As you can see the category is also displayed on the homepage, I like to only display on sidebar – not also on homepage.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi,

I tried it, it does not seem to work.

This is my index.php:

<?php if ((!function_exists(“check_theme_footer”) || !function_exists(“check_theme_header”))) { ?><?php { /* nothing */ } ?><?php } else { ?><?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content”>
<div id=”contentinner”>

<?php $featured_slider_activate = get_theme_option(‘featured_activate’); if(($featured_slider_activate == ”) || ($featured_slider_activate == ‘No’)) { ?>
<?php { /* nothing */ } ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php if((is_home()) && (is_front_page()) && ($paged < 1)) { ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/featured.php’); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

<div id=”post-entry”>

<?php
$featured_category = get_theme_option(‘featured_category’);
query_posts(‘cat=-‘.$featured_category );
?>
<?php $postcounter = 0; if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : $postcounter = $postcounter + 1; the_post(); ?>

<div class=”post-meta” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<div class=”post-info”>
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”post-date”>
Published <?php the_time(‘l, F j, Y’) ?> By <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>. Under <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>  <?php if(function_exists(“the_tags”)) : ?><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘) ?><?php endif; ?>  <?php edit_post_link(‘+Edit Post’); ?>
</div><!– POST DATE END –>
</div><!– POST INFO END –>
<div class=”post-content”>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(200,150), array(‘class’ => ‘alignleft’)); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_post_excerpt($excerpt_length=50); ?>
<div class=”readmore”>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”>Read More</div>
<div class=”clearfix”></div>
</div><!– POST CONTENT END –>
</div><!– POST META <?php the_ID(); ?> END –>

<?php $get_google_code = get_theme_option(‘adsense_loop’); if($get_google_code == ”) { ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php if($postcounter <= 3){ ?>
<div class=”adsense-loop”>
<?php echo stripcslashes($get_google_code); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Again,

Thanks!
