[Resolved] NewsListing / need help in modifying

Hi guys,

I need help from those of you, who know how to "hack" certain snippets.
For my project, I only need certain news to show up on the frontpage, but all news to show up under "news" and in the rss-feed. News on the frontpage are displayed using the long title-option, news in the "news"-section use the normal title.

so it should be quite easy to only display news that have a long-title, news that don’t have a long title are displayed only in the news-section

so, there needs to be added something like
if (isset($long_title) == true) {
$output = ’’;
}

but I don’t know where to add this, nor do I think that the code is correct
please help me,

thank you so much

Hi ,

I guess you want have to hack anything to achieve this result.

First you should upgrade to ditto (documentation is here: http://mirror3.cvsdude.com/trac/ditto/codebase)
You have to create a TV , name: frontPageNews, (type: radio) options value=> Yes||No
Attach the TV to the template used by "news" document.

Then you can filter the news to display on the frontpage with &filter param in Ditto.
(for instance &filter=`tvfrontPageNews, Yes` )

:-)

Thanks a lot, I got my problem solved.
