Headlines by Category question	Can't Post

Oh well, probably a dumb question with either a completely simple answer or a no-way answer: I'd really like the headlines by category column on the right to list ONLY the headlines of the category selected from the column on the left.

Barring that, I'll just scrap the long arduous confusing laundry list of every-page-ever-wrote in the Headlines by Category column (okay, I am getting to kinda hate that cacophonous column Crazy

) .

But I LOVE this product and you folks (company and user community).

Hi,

That is a good question. :) To do that, you need to modify the templates. Here is the steps:

1. Copy the /templates/index/default.html template and save it into the same directory as category_default.html

2. In the new category_default.html template, replace this:





with





This will include the latest headlines from just the category selected.

3. Next, in the Category Editor, for each category click modify and select the index/category_default.html template for the Category Index Page. When published, this category will now only show the its own Latest Headlines on the right.

4. Re-publish all and that is it.

Works! Yesss! Well, plus...where before I was adapting headlines_bycat.html, now it is headlines/default.html. Got that prettied up to match.

Hmm, can I do something like this as well for the article pages to have the same column on the right? I'll monkey with it and ask your advice if I get stuck...

Thank you!
