Comment on WordPress Widgets Tutorial by SEO Dave.
This will be possible in Stallion 7.0. There’s a new Stallion 7.0 widget (Stallion Posts Widget) that can do a lot including choosing posts from one or as many categories as you want.
Think recent posts widget with optional thumbnail image and excerpts, all types of post selection available: by popularitiy, recent, latest modified, by title, by post ID with order reversable.
Also includes default thumbnail sets, so if you haven’t added thumbnail images to all your posts Stallion 7.0 will use one of the default thumbnails. There’s custom set slots, so you can add your own default thumbnails as well.
So you’ll be able to achieve what you want in Stallion 7.0.
