I’m using Wordpress as a CMS for this site
http://www.seadragon.co.uk/new_site/portfolio.html
...and it’s the first time I’ve ever used wordpress so sorry if I get the terminology wrong....
My client needs to be able to add new projects (case studies) to the portfolio section, and each of them can have it’s own slideshow.
I thought they could create a new post category for each project slideshow, and then a new page for each project.
The problem I have is how to get my client to associate the post category with the project page (so I can pull the correct category posts in to the slideshow dynamically). I thought maybe I could try and get them to use the same naming convention for the category she creates (for the project sildeshow) and the page she creates (for the project)? Does this sound like it’ll work? Is there a better way I can do this, or another plugin that would be better suited.
Here’s the code from my portfolio template... currently the categoryID is hard coded in the query.
<div id="slider">
<?php
//Reset Query
//wp_reset_query();
global $wp_query;
$query = "post_type=post&cat=5";
$wp_query = new WP_Query( $query );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'large');
?>
<?php
endwhile; endif;
?>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider();
});
</script>
Hope that makes some sense?
Many thanks.
