Article listing of specific category

I only want a specific category to show on the homepage so I am using this tag.

<txp:article form=“art-body” category=“program” />

now this tag works as it should in every other page and section limiting to only the specified category. However on the home page it completely ignores the category and posts ALL the articles. I have been scratching my head for a while now trying to figure out why. I am hoping someone may be able to shed some light on this for me.

Thanks in Advance.

<txp:article /> doesn’t have the attribute ‘category’. <txp:article_custom /> does :)

<txp:article_custom form=“art-body” category=“program” />

The article custom tag is probably what you need (see above). The regular article tag only loads articles from the current section. If it is the homepage it might load them from all the other sections depending on your settings in the section tab. The article custom tag doesn’t take the URL as it’s conditions for loading articles so you can have a custom list from any section, categories etc appear wherever you like in your site.
