Featured Content - hard code category

Hi

Just wondering how I can hard code the category into the feature scroller?

The reason I would like to do this is that I'm using it with the Revolution Music theme as the old feature content breaks with a couple of plugins I need to use, ie. Events Calendar in particular, and the new scroll in Chrome doesn't break with that plugin.

Alternatively I need to add the Chrome options code in the functions.php to the Rev Music functions.php.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks in advance
Mat

Re: Featured Content - hard code category

To hard code the category, simply replace:

Code:

<?php if ($aOptions['featured-cat'] != '') { query_posts('cat=' . $aOptions['featured-cat'] . '&showposts=' . $aOptions['featured-count']); } ?>

With:

Code:

<?php query_posts('category_name=yourcategory&showposts=6'); ?>

And this is the site that it's in use on, http://www.imwiththeband.com/. It's still a bit of a work in progress, has been for the last 2 years I think..haha.

Looking good... By the way, you might want to edit "coda.slider.js" and move the arrow buttons to a location on your server.

Code:

.before('http://www.press75.com/themehost/ond...croll_left.png')

.after('http://www.press75.com/themehost/ond...roll_right.png');
