Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedding a plugin on my theme. I have installed the plugin and set up my preferences. However, when I place the code on the editor my page no longer shows up when i preview it.
I want to insert the plugin (vslider) into the third column(small_box box 3) of the homepage.
The code that is required to place for the plugin to work is
<?php if (function_exists('vslider')) { vslider(); }?>
So i'm wondering where I would place this code on the homepage in order to get the intended results.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
This is the current homepage code:
<?php
global $k_options;
get_header();
?>
<div id="featured">
<?php
# Here starts the code for the Mainpage Image Slider
if($k_options['mainpage']['frontpage_image_count']){$mycount = $k_options['mainpage']['frontpage_image_count']; }else{$mycount = 5;}
$query_string .= "&showposts=$mycount";
$query_string .= "&cat=".$k_options['mainpage']['slider_cat_final'];
query_posts($query_string);
$firstitem = "current";
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$frontpage_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, "frontpage-image", true);
$frontpage_image_small = get_post_meta($post->ID, "frontpage-image-small", true);
$frontpage_blank = get_post_meta($post->ID, "frontpage-blank", true);
$punchline = get_post_meta($post->ID, "punchline", true);
$link = get_permalink();
if($frontpage_image != "" && $k_options['general']['tim'] == 1)
{
$resizepath = get_bloginfo('template_url')."/timthumb.php?src="; #timthumb path
$resize_options1 = "&w=44&h=30&zc=1";
$frontpage_image_small = $resizepath.$frontpage_image.$resize_options1;
}
$previewpics[$link] = $frontpage_image_small;
echo'<div class="featured_item '.$firstitem.'">'."\n";
$firstitem = "";
