What kind of module do I need if...

I want to display some news in expanded form in my "home" page(i.e. admin panel -->> Site preferences -->> General settings, set "None" as the default module)

I know that the Spotlight module allow us to display one news in expanded form and some headlines.

Is there any module or php-code allow us to display 3 or 4 news(expanded) in the "home" page as a block?

Thanks

could you not set your home page to open as your news module? Then the stories you want to show on the home page set them as publish in home page and check no on the ones you do not want showing.

I need to have 2 seperate pages -- "Home" and "News"

And I want to display 3 or 4 recent news(expanded form) on "Home".

humm i am sure there is someone here with enough knowledge of PHP and XOOPS who can hack the spotlight module to show more then one story. If not in the mean time you can always do custom blocks for your homepage with the stories.

The blog modules will do this and also allow comments etc. They display posts in dated order and allows graphics. Not unlike the news module!

Thanks for the info, Richard. But the weblog module doesn't fit my site. I tried to download the Lykos blocks module(I've no idea if it suitable) but I couldn't get a correct link....even at the author site.
