Homepage big slide background single category

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi there,

Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn’t spot the answer.

I have two different publication’s content on my website and I want to create a homepage for each of them. I currently use tags and categories to filter out the content for each.

For these pages I want to have the Big Slider with the background much like the page template “Homepage – bg – no article list” or “Homepage – bg + article list”

The problem is when I do that there doesn’t seem to be the option to filter the big slider by specific tag or category.

The alternative is to create a blank page and use the big slider module on it. But in that situation there is no option to have the background behind it.

Please could you show me a fix for this?

Many thanks,
Ryan

Hi,
We have tried to make this but that implementation have some limitation, sorry about that. You can configure the big slider on that homepage somehow directly from file but the configuration will be the same for each page.

This is the file where you have to edit http://screencast.com/t/jd0Hx9GrYZs and you can add filters like this:

'category_ids' => '',
'category_id' => '',
'tag_slug' => '',
'sort' => '',
'limit' => '',
'autors_id' => '',
'installed_post_types' => '',
'posts_per_page' => '',
'offset' => ''

Hope this help!
Thanks for understanding!

Author filter does not seems to work.
———————————————–
Author name does not appear on accordion.
(Only my name(admin) appear)

If I put admin role to userA, user A appear.

How can I solve this?

Thanks,

Hi,

Please make sure that you have posts from that you have posts for the author you want to filer then add the author ID like this: http://screencast.com/t/gkoFIu5Q
Then please add this line array_merge( get_users('role=author'), get_users('role=administrator') ); in the td_util.php file like this: http://screencast.com/t/J0Am5b01a
You can get your user ID from here: http://screencast.com/t/sKXBAgSVf
I have tested this and work fine.

Thanks
