Hi, I also posted this to the Wordpress.org forums, but no one seems to have been able to help yet, so I'm trying my luck here as well.
I have a problem that I can't seem to solve on my own: I'm doing this portfolio for a photographer friend, and we're uploading each picture as a new blog entry, attaching it using the "featured image"-feature. That's not the problem, works fine.
The thing is I want to be able to cycle through all the pictures, jcarousel-wise, in each category. Right now when viewing a single picture, I load it through the single-post-template-file, and then using next_post_link() and previous_post_link(), you can go to the next or previous picture. That also works fine.
But I figure, if I want to be able to loop through the pictures with jcarousel, I need to write some changes to the loop in the single-post-template.
I need to load: 1. the current post (like now; post no. 5 for instance in a category) 2. all the next posts in the category (no. 5 to 10 for instance) 3. all the posts before the current post (no. 1 to 4 for instance)
I don't suspect this to be too complicated, I just can't seem to wrap my head around it on my own. Thank you very much to everyone with ideas to throw in.
Yep, and that's exactly the question: how do I write the loop so that it loads the posts the way I've specified. I write custom template pages all the time, but this particular problem seems to stick.
