Re: Adding an extra heading to the Featured section :: Reply by Joern

Sharon, to get the image ‚Spotlight‘ you see in the sample, just right click it and save somewhere on your PC. It has to go as ’spotlight2.png‘ into the folder /arthemia/images/ in your site. There should also be featured.png and headline.png.

The font used for these images is called District Thin, here: http://www.philsfonts.com/freefont.html

I just thought all these 3 images looking like your titles font would be nice too.
The code I give you here goes into the template file index.php

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST OF YOUR FILE AS IT IS BEFORE EDITING!!

Now look for

Code:

<div id="featured"> and <div id="middle" class="clearfloat">

we are going to replace these two lines including all stuff in between.

After replacing you should just have once <div id="featured"> before and once

Code:

<div id="middle" class="clearfloat"> after the replacement. Difficult??
<div id="featured">
<!-- old code but display only two posts of Featured category showposts=2&category_name=Featured -->
   <img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/featured.png" width="72px" height="17px" alt="" />

   <?php query_posts("showposts=2&category_name=Featured"); $i = 1; ?>

         <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="clearfloat">
   <?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image");
   if (isset($values[0])) { ?>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   <img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/<?php
$values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $values[0]; ?>&w=100&h=65&zc=1&q=100"
alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="left" width="100px" height="65px"  /></a>
      <?php } ?>
   <div class="info"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<div class="meta">[<?php the_time('j M Y') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comment', 'One Comment', '% Comments');?> | <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>]</div>   

</div>
       </div>

      <?php endwhile; ?>

<!-- end of old code and start of new code to show one more 'title image' spotlight2.png and two posts of another category -->

   <img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/spotlight2.png" width="76px" height="19px" alt="" />

   <?php query_posts("showposts=2&category_name=Gallery"); $i = 1; // replace Gallery with the name of one of your categories ?>

         <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="clearfloat">
   <?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image");
   if (isset($values[0])) { ?>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   <img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/<?php
$values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $values[0]; ?>&w=100&h=65&zc=1&q=100"
alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="left" width="100px" height="65px"  /></a>
      <?php } ?>
   <div class="info"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<div class="meta">[<?php the_time('j M Y') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comment', 'One Comment', '% Comments');?> | <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>]</div>   

</div>
       </div>

      <?php endwhile; ?>

<!-- end of new code to show one more 'title image' and two posts of another category -->

   </div>

</div>   

   <div id="middle" class="clearfloat">

Now look at your page, you should see two posts of Featured category followed by the Spotlight image followed by two posts of your Gallery category.

Somewhere in this new code you find

showposts=2&category_name=Gallery

you can change Gallery to any other of your categories name.
Hope it works, exciting.. ;-)
