displaying multiple sections

oks, this is probably a fundamental question, but if anyone can help me out, that’ll be great

is it possible to display articles from multiple sections? e.g. lets say ive got section1, section 2 and secion 3

if i use section=“section1” in my form – this will display all articles from section 1

if i dont use the section tag, it will display all articles from section 1, 2 and 3

what if i only want to display articles from section 1 and 2? – how do i go about doing that?

thanks in advance

TXP doesn’t do that natively.

Hoever, there are two plugins that provide this functionality:

Re: displaying multiple sections

If this is the front-page you can stop sections appearing by selecting the “not on front-page” option in the “Sections” tab.

thebombsite – thanks for the idea – never occured to me to use that

the chh_article_custom was good, but just to buggy for me – kept on turning off my invite comments, and when there were comments, it would display it twice.

Well at the moment I take the view that if you can’t do it without a plug-in don’t do it. ;)
