List of news?
Hello!
On my front page I would like to have a list of the latest news…
The news are in a categroy named “News”.
The latest 5 news will be showed with first the title as link and under the title, the date of publication :)
Can someone help me?
Thanx

Re: List of news?
Inserted this in my default page:
<txp:article_custom form=“news_list” category=“News” />
And this in the form “news_list”:
<txp:permlink> <txp:title/> </txp:permlink>

<ol><txp:article_custom form=“news_list” category=“News” /></ol><li><txp:permlink> <txp:title/> </txp:permlink></li>For showing the date, look at the list of tags and their explanations here (<txp:posted /> is the one you’re looking for)

Re: List of news?
I don’t understeand, it doesn’t work :’(
This is what I did:
Created a category named “News”
Published an article in this category
Inserted this in the default style:
<ol><txp:article_custom form=“news_list” category=“News” /></ol>
This in the form named news_list:
<li><txp:permlink> <txp:title/> </txp:permlink></li>
But I have nothing on screen and the source only provides this: <ol></ol>, so I presume the form works :S

Re: List of news?
Do you have any articles with the category “News” that is set to a section which has articles on the front page (assuming you’re trying this on the front page)?
a tag trace would be helpful

Re: List of news?
What do you mean with: which has articles on the front page?

Re: List of news?
In the sections tab, you can specify whether articles for a specific section also appear on the front page…. although, since you’re using article_custom instead of article, that’s not a requirement to make this work. Still, a tag trace would be nice.
