Hi Jose,

Thanks for posting! Smile

If you'd like to include some featured articles on the home page of your site (the most recent few articles from a couple of different categories) then you may want to have a look at this forum post:

http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=48438#48438

This post outlines how you can use some Server Side Includes to display some of your latest Article Manager content on the index page of your site through the use of some Server Side Includes (SSI).

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to let me know! Smile

Hi Jose

Thanks for the update!

With Article Manager 1, you actually tell it what categories you want to display instead of telling it which ones not to display.

So what you are going to be doing here is using the search engine to return a list of all your articles for a certain group of categories.

The search would look something like this:

search.cgi?search=1&cat=1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Basically, you just list the categories there that you want to display. Does that make sense? Give it a shot and let me know if you need anymore details Smile.
