Hi Everyone,

I am just wondering how can i show category wise published news in index page instead of showing all published content in the index page. What I am trying to do is, to show all my categories in index page with each category showing 3-4 links. Each category will be shown in a box with category name. I was searching for this all over the forum but no luck..

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance....

I would suggest starting by taking your template file index_center.tpl and changing it to:

{if $pagename == 'index' && count($templatelite.get) == 0}
Homepage Content
{else}
{$link_summary_output}
{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_pagination_start"}
{$link_pagination}
{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_pagination_end"}
{/if}

From there you would need to figure out the code to replace "Homepage Content" with to display everything the way you want. It will probably take a lot of work to figure out unless you can find some pre-existing code to work from.

Hi Yankidank,

I tried to implement your suggestion but could not able to figure out "Homepage Content" as you said. I have a one more question here, where can I find how the categories are sorted when we click on category name and I didn't even find any code related to categories display or sorting.

Thank you.

I suggest that you hire a developer. Try Pligg Jobs | Pligg CMS or ScriptLance.com Custom Freelance Programming. Outsource web projects to programmers and designers.

Well, I don't think really I need a developer for this at this point of time. I think "link_summary.php" holds code for how the stories are displayed but i didn't find a way to modify the code so that it only shows storie from certain categories. If somebody can help me with that I can find a way to do this (if not on my own, by taking forum or some others help may be a developer).

Anyways thank you for input, I really appreciate the way you contribute to the community.



Guys please help me if you any idea how to do this.
