    Hi,

    I am using a plug-in; “d13slideshow” which allows you to add 1 post slideshow displaying any category, it works, but I would like to have multiple sliders anywhere so I use;

    <?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => 10,
'category' => 9,
'orderby' => rand
);

$lastposts = get_posts($args);
foreach($lastposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
        <?php
$ID_Array[]=$post->ID;
?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        <?php d13slideshow(array($ID_Array[0], $ID_Array[1], $ID_Array[2], $ID_Array[3], $ID_Array[4], $ID_Array[5], $ID_Array[6], $ID_Array[7], $ID_Array[8], $ID_Array[9])); ?>

    However I would like to place this code in category.php, and have “ ‘category’ => 9, ” dynamically detect the category, so I found this;

    <?php
if (is_category()) {
global $wp_query;
$cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
echo $cat_obj->name . " is id ". $cat_obj->term_id;
}
   ?>

    That works, but how can I combine this?

    Got so fed up with trying to figure out how to code this simple PHP function, I contacted justanswerDOTcom and they solved the issue within 25 minutes for $22 USD. Well, that works for me!

    <?php
function getCurrentCategoryId()
{
	if (is_category()) {
		global $wp_query;
		$cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
		return $cat_obj->term_id;
	}
	return -1;
}

$args = array(

'numberposts' => 3,

'category' => getCurrentCategoryId(),

'orderby' => rand

);

$lastposts = get_posts($args);

foreach($lastposts as $post) :

setup_postdata($post);

?>

<?php

$ID_Array[]=$post->ID;

?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php d13slideshow(array($ID_Array[0], $ID_Array[1], $ID_Array[2], $ID_Array[3], $ID_Array[4], $ID_Array[5], $ID_Array[6], $ID_Array[7], $ID_Array[8], $ID_Array[9])); ?>
