you will see the functions used in your themes files

being-played-now.html
top-played.html
newest-games.html

have a look in your themes inc/func.php which is where the functions reside.

You will see functions like

Code:

beingPlayedNow($baseDir,$templateBase,$seoFriendly,$preGamePageStatus,0,14)

you can change the last but one slot (0 in this case) to the catid you want to show.

But it only accepts a single ID.

You could always change it to an array() like

Code:

beingPlayedNow($baseDir,$templateBase,$seoFriendly,$preGamePageStatus,array(1,3,5),14)

and then in your themes inc/func.php

Then you can change the following in the functions you pass an array for

find

Code:

if ($catID != "" && $catID != 0) {
$catQuery = "AND cat = '$catID'";
}

replace with

Code:

if($catID[0] != "" && is_array($catID))
{
$catlist = implode(", ",$catID);
$catQuery = "AND cat IN(".$catlist.") ";
}
elseif ($catID != "" && $catID != 0) {
$catQuery = "AND cat = '$catID'";
}
