Hello!

If you go to the website ministerio vcn where is “actividades & enventos” (events) and “noticias & articulos” (news & articles) i want to put the events or articles from the blog, but i don´t want put any event or article. I want to choose the event o article to display on the homepage, something like the most important and the limit of 1 for each one.

I was traing with te excerpt but i can´t put “my selection” and the excerpt doesn´t display the article, i need help.

Thanks again
Seba

Even if I don’t understand your last statement, I think you can achieve what you want using a custom field (it’s nicer with glz_custom_fields).
You can create a custom field named – for example – “homepage” and then, when you want an article to show on the home page, fill it with something like “actividades” or “noticias”.
Finally in the home page template insert:

 <txp:article_custom homepage="actividades" limit="1" />
<txp:article_custom homepage="noticias"  limit="1" />

Thabks man buy i don´t understand what you mean…
I thought with categories is better. When i create the article for the blog only i have to put a categorie and this one display on the hompage, no?, but i don´t know how to creat this “code”.

Thanks

Ok, let’s try again.

1) you have two divs in the homepage called “#left_content” and “#right_content”
2) you want each to show only one article which you can choose
3) to achieve this you can use two article_custom tag (one for in each div).
4) the article_custom tag can be customized as you like to output a list af articles which satisfy a given condition.
I would use custom fields but if you prefer categories… that’s ok, it’s the same reasoning

here is a barebone example:

 <div id="#left_content">
<txp:article_custom  category="actividades" limit="1" />
</div>

and

<div id="#right_content">
<txp:article_custom   category="noticias" limit="1" />
</div>

I hope it’s more clear now
