tkeller,
I did exactly what you are asking for - if I understand you correctly. It is here:
http://www.bjuroklubb.se/
In the
Atahualpa Theme Options, choose
Style & edit CENTER COLUMN.
In the
Content ABOVE the LOOP box, type the code. You can use mine as example:
Code:
<?php if(is_front_page()) { ?>
<?php
$content = "[smooth=id: 4; width:500; height:200; timed:true; arrows:true; carousel:false; links:true; info:true; align:center; frames:false; delay:11000; transition:fade;]";
smooth_show($content);
?>
<?php
}
?>
The green part is the smooth slider code. The php code
if(is_front_page()) before the green code and the end bracket is the trick for making it show only at the first page.
I hope it helped!
