How to exclude articles showing in home page ?
I’ve a news website, at the bottom of website I need two sections:
1. Articles custom list except a specific category
for example <txp:article_custom exclude_category="feature" limit="5" ...
2. Those articles which is not available at home page
for example <txp:article_custom exclude="all those showing at home page" ...

Re: How to exclude articles showing in home page ?
The first one looks easy:
<txp:article_custom exclude="category" category="feature" limit="5" ... />As for the second one, I’m not sure what you mean by exclude="all those showing at home page". If it is ‘beyond the limit attribute (say, 5) of <txp:article ... limit="5" />’, use offset:
<txp:article_custom ...atts of home page... offset="5" />Otherwise, please be more specific.

Re: How to exclude articles showing in home page ?
As etc says, the second case can be solved in a few ways depending on what you mean. Using offset is easy if the articles in the top of the home page are from a single section or simply the most recent articles from a bunch of sections.
If they’re curated in any other way, I would use a variable to stash the IDs of the ones being shown. This is untested, but something along these lines might work to make a concatenated, comma-separated list of articles in the top section:
<txp:variable name="already_seen" value="" />
<article::custom whatever_attributes_go_here>
<txp:title wraptag="h2" />
<txp:excerpt />
<txp:variable name="already_seen" add='<article::id />' separator="," />
</article::custom>… which can then be excluded later in the page:
<h1>Rest of the articles</h1>
<article::custom id='<txp:variable name="already_seen" />' exclude>
...

I’ve different categories and listing it’s own 5 recent articles in the home page like Sport, Technology, Politics, etc..
at the bottom of page home page, I want to show some more articles from all categories except those already appear at the top to prevent duplicate articles.

Re: How to exclude articles showing in home page ?
Stef’s solution looks perfect. I would just explicitly set a value for exclude, otherwise other eventual attributes (like section, etc) will be excluded too:
<article::custom id='<txp:variable name="already_seen" />' exclude="id" />or
<article::custom exclude='<txp:variable name="already_seen" />' />Offline
