Re: "Static" Home Page displaying, but not other content.
Unfortunately that doesn’t work.
I can’t seem to contact you via e-mail either. When I click on your name for your profile I get a message which says I don’t have permission to view.
You can contact me at timothyrowe at gmail dot com & I can give you a login id for my site.

Re: "Static" Home Page displaying, but not other content.
We’ve got our home page set up as “regular” index.php outside of Textpattern. PHP includes the DataConnect, then:
// Delve into the textpattern database to get news stories for the home page
$recentNewsCat = '01. Recent News';
$archivedNewsCat = '02. News Archives';
$dc = new DataConnect();
$dc->connect();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM textpattern WHERE (Category1 ='$recentNewsCat' OR Category2 = '$recentNewsCat')" .
" AND Status = 4 ORDER BY LastMod DESC LIMIT 4";
$news_rs = $dc->execute($sql);
.. And in the page where the News articles are displayed:
<?php
// Show the news stories if there are any
echo('<div id="newslist">');
echo('<h3>News</h3>');
echo('<ul>');
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($news_rs)) {
echo('<li><strong>'.$row['Title'].'</strong><br /><span class="lastupdated">Posted '.date("F j, Y",strtotime($row['LastMod'])).'</span><br />');
echo($row['Excerpt'].' ');
//echo('<br /><div align="right">[ <a href="txp/?s=News&id='.$row['ID'].'">Continue "'.$row['Title'].'"...</a> ]</div></li>');
echo('<br /><div align="right">[ <a href="txp/?s=News&id='.$row['ID'].'">Read More...</a> ]</div></li>');
}
echo('</ul>');
echo('<p><a href="txp/?s=News&c='.$archivedNewsCat.'">View More News Stories</a></p>');
echo('</div>');
//}
You may have your TXP url’s set up to be ‘cleaner’ than ours. — Good luck! Vicki

Re: "Static" Home Page displaying, but not other content.
With the glx_if plugin you could have something like this in your default template.
<txp:glx_if_frontpage>
<p>Your static content here<br />
and/or you could call an article id like the suggestion above<br />
<txp:article_custom id="123" /><br />
Or you can have more complex content by including it in a form called frontpage like:
<txp:output_form form="frontpage" /></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:article />
</txp:glx_if_frontpage>>Edited to add more options
