Hello....

I have a site I'm building for a client at http://thotline.com/modules/news

To the best of my knowledge all article managers have the same basic setup showing articles with oldest at the bottom, and the newest at the top, and the mod "frontpage" showing all the articles combined, regardless of categories. My client has specific content for his home page, however. He also needs to have control over where the articles are posted.

So I'm using news as his home page module, and I put each page of his into News as a topic category. The problem I'm facing now is how to set his home page as the "home" category in News that I've created.

Any suggestions? Maybe there's a better mod out there to use that let's me control where articles are posted?

Well, then maybe I need to look into PHP Nuke or somewhere else for him.

Why not use a custom block to put the content in?

If you select the 'don't show on home page' option in the news admin/post story page for all the other news stories, that should leave it clear for your 'home' news stor(ies) that you do want to display.

Alternatively, you could use the spotlight module to pin a particular home news story to the top of the page.

Nuke ? You'll be back :)

Actuallly, I got the issue resolved, Madfish, your comment was very helpful. (and I didn't have to go to Nuke)
