"On front page=no" vs. categories

The docs/faqs clearly explain that sections and categories are orthogonal, entirely separate classifications. But here’s a behavior I don’t understand:

I have created a separate section for posting photos. Some of them will be large, and I don’t want them to spoil my frontpage, so for the “Photos” category I set “On front page” to False. At the same time, I want these pictures to share categories with articles. For example, I may have both photos and front-page articles assigned to category “travel”.

When I click the link to categor “travel”, I expected to see a list of everything in this category, articles and photos from all sections. But if the Photos section not shown on front page, nothing from this section shows up in a single category listing. Is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance,
.marek

Well I can get the ‘a’. But how do I put the circle around it?

Re: "On front page=no" vs. categories

What I understand (correct me if I’m wrong) is that you have

• a section ‘photos’ (‘on front page’ set to ‘no’)
• a section ‘front-page’ (‘on front page’ set to ‘yes’)

Articles in both sections can have category ‘travel’.

You can show them all on the front page by using <txp:article_custom category="travel" />. Only <txp:article /> is context sensitive and will respect your sections’ settings.
