By default Simplefolio assumes you want to use the same post category for the elements displayed on the homepage slider and the portfolio page. These modifications allow you to select a different category for each section.
Step 1 is to add the option in the template configuration file located at /<root>/wp-content/themes/simplefolio/admin/index.php
Around line 248 find this block:
$sfoptions[] = array( "name" => "Slider Options", "type" => "heading"); $sfoptions[] = array( "name" => "Number of Slides", "desc" => "This must be a number. The slides will be taken from the portfolio category you selected in earlier options. Default is 5", "id" => $shortname."_slider_slides", "std" => "", "type" => "text"); $sfoptions[] = array( "name" => "Text Lenth", "desc" => "The ammount of characters you wish to display under the title. Default is 100", "id" => $shortname."_slider_chars", "std" => "", "type" => "text");
Add the following:
$sfoptions[] = array( "name" => "Slider Category", "desc" => "Select the category you will use for slider elements.", "id" => $shortname."_slider_page", "std" => "Select a page:", "type" => "select", "options" => $sf_categories);
The settings page should now look like this:
Step 2 is to modify the “template-home.php” file located at /<root>/wp-content/themes/simplefolio/admin to reference this new option
Line 14 change the following:
From:
$category = get_option('sf_portfolio_category');
To:
$category = get_option('sf_slider_page');
