Manual setting the news category in Zenpage?

WhiteChrys

Hello!

My goal is to get a zenpage wrapper around the news article listing so that my client can add extra content to the sidebars. I have copy/pasted the news.php code into a zenpage codeblock, and I am displaying that codeblock in the body of my zenpage. It works great, except I want to restrict it to a single news category.

So, I am currently filtering out articles that don't match my target category. The pagination doesn't work with this though. So, the ideal solution would be to manually set the news category so that only articles in that category are displayed. To my knowledge, the global $_zp_current_category can only be set from $_GET when the page is initialized. Any thoughts on how to get around this?

Never mind... I was thinking of the problem backwards. I can actually call the content, extra content and codeblock fields from the news.php file to accomplish what I want.
