insert specific category & specific article in index page? i think you want to change the default layout format in the index page from an "article list" to a specific category that you have, showing only the content of the latest article body inserted into that same category.
is that right? if so, do the following:
1) Turn off Global Index publishing
- go to your admin control panel, choose Setup Options, then click on the Server tab.
- go down to where Global Index, and deselect the checkbox on its right.
- click save
2) Specify which category you want to show as your index
- go to Category Editor, go down to the category you want to show as your site mainpage, and click on modify.
- go to where it says "Category Filename"
- select "Use filename:" and type in "index" (without the quotes) in the text field.
- click save
3) Create the template to carry out the publishing rules for this category.:
- copy and paste the following code into the template section (NOTE: this template should be located under the /templates/index folder) where you want your article content to show:
<!-- template insert : $article_list$ -->
<!-- templatecell : row -->
$art_name$
<script language="javascript" src="$url_publish$pagebreak.js"></script>
<script language="javascript"><!--
var showPageNavTop = 1;
var showPageNavBot = 1;
var showPageNavAll = 0;
var PageMarker = '<!--page--\>';
var PageContent= '$art_content_je$';
PrintArticle();
// -->
</script>
<!-- /templatecell : row -->
<!-- templatecell : row_summary -->
<!-- /templatecell : row_summary -->
<!-- templatecell : row_link -->
<!-- /templatecell : row_link -->
<!-- templatecell : row_ufile -->
<!-- /templatecell : row_ufile -->
<!-- templatecell : not_found -->
<!-- /templatecell : not_found -->
<!-- templatecell : img_caption -->
<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$img_width$ align="left">
<tr><td><img src="$img_url$" height="$img_height$" width="$img_width$" border=1 /></td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="image_caption">$img_caption$</span></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- /templatecell : img_caption -->
<!-- templatecell : img_nocaption -->
<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$img_width$ align="left">
<tr><td><img src="$img_url$" height="$img_height$" width="$img_width$" border=1 /></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- /templatecell : img_nocaption -->
<!-- template insert : $prev$ -->
<!-- templatecell : prev -->
<!-- /templatecell : prev -->
<!-- templatecell : no_prev -->
<!-- /templatecell : no_prev -->
<!-- template insert : $next$ -->
<!-- templatecell : next -->
<!-- /templatecell : next -->
<!-- templatecell : no_next -->
<!-- /templatecell : no_next -->
<!-- template insert : $more$ -->
<!-- templatecell : more -->
<!-- /templatecell : more -->
<!-- templatecell : no_more -->
<!-- /templatecell : no_more -->
- upload to your /cgi-bin/artman/templates/index" folder
4) choose the correct template to publish the category index page
- on that same page as step #2, find the "Templates" section
- choose the correct template which has the coding in the next steps by clicking the "Category Index Page" drop down menu, and selecting "frontpage.html".
- click save
5) copy the attached JavaScript file "pagebreak.js" into your publish directory. without it you will get a blank area where your content should be. (file is attached to the bottom of this post).
i hope i was of help. let me know if you dont understand any of the above steps.
