Create an article form with <txp:excerpt /> in it, name it f.i “article-excerpt” and put it on your page with <txp:output_form form="article-excerpt" />”. Then fill in the article’s excerpt field with the text you want to appear on your front page.

Take a closer look at all the txp-tags at Textgarden.

Keep calm and look what you find on the admin interface. There are certain tabs, one of them is called “Forms”, another one “Pages”, a third one “Write”. These are the three I mentioned above. Experiment. Good luck!

If the problem is more on the language side: have you seen the native forums on the start page? Jauhari sounds so finnish to me…

In Presentation >Forms> Default form you could have something linke this

<txp:if_article_list>
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
<txp:excerpt />
<txt:else />
<txp:body />
</txp:if_article_list>

>Edit typo.. Thanks uli:)

Re: How Cut Of Article?

jauhari, I hope you solved your problem in the meantime.
colak of course meant <txp:excerpt />, when he wrote <txp:expert />
