In my theme I have a blog page and a homepage (without blog loop). Now I would like to add some blog posts on my homepage (like most recent).
I am using the blog page as a template for the homepage ( I copied and renamed the original), wich works good. But I can't make any changes to it without changing the original blog page (the loop is called in an external php).
I Have no idea were to start.
This is the piece on the homepage calling the blog loop:
<?php if(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="main">
<div class="central-wrapper clearfix">
<div id="center" class="fullwidth">
<div id="content">
<?php if($gallery_select && $gallery_position == 1) : ?>
<?php codeus_gallery($gallery_select, $gallery_size, $gallery_style); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="inner">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="pagination"><div class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'codeus' ) . '</div>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) ); ?>
<div class="bloghome">
<?php codeus_blog_list(); ?>
</div>
<?php if($quickfinder_position == 2) : ?>
<?php codeus_quickfinder($quickfinder_select); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($portfolio_position == 2) : ?>
<?php codeus_portfolio(implode(',',$portfolio_select), $portfolio_size, $portfolio_count, $portfolio_filter, $portfolio_title); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($gallery_select && $gallery_position == 3) : ?>
<?php codeus_gallery($gallery_select, $gallery_size, $gallery_style); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #center -->
</div><!-- .central-wrapper -->
</div><!-- #main -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- wrap end -->
And this is the piece in the external php called blog.php
<?php if($blog_loop->have_posts()) : ?>
<div class="blog_list">
<ul class="styled">
<?php while ( $blog_loop->have_posts() ) : $blog_loop->the_post(); ?>
<li class="clearfix">
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php $image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'codeus_post_list_image'); ?>
<div class="comment-info">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" class="date-day"><?php echo get_the_date('d'); ?></a>
<div class="date-month"><?php echo get_the_date('M'); ?></div>
</div>
<div class="post-info">
<h3><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php if($image_url[0]) : ?>
<div class="post-image">
<div class="image wrap-box shadow middle">
<div class="shadow-left"></div><div class="shadow-right"> </div>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><img src=" <?php echo $image_url[0]; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="text clearfix"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
<?php codeus_author_info(get_the_ID()); ?>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<?php $post = $portfolio_posttemp; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php codeus_pagination($page_num, $pages_count); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Remember, I don't want to make changes in the original blog.php, because the normal blog page needs to work as it is now. I would like to make the blog work on the homepage also, but just with a maximum of 3 posts showing, perhaps of a certain category.
Help would be so welcome!!
