List only one category on the frontpage?
 

Hi

I'm struggling to understand how to choose which category to show on my startpage.

I want only the post for the news category to show on the startpage.

I've tried creating a maintemplate and change to this
and then using a page called "start" as a static page and having the home virtual template choosen under virtual templates".

I've also created the postformat-nyheter sub-template but I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do.

Thanks

When I want to show a single category I use a plugin like TPG Get Posts or List Category Posts.

Its not exactly what I'm trying to do. I want it to look like on the startpage but only 1 category.

is what calls it to loop all the posts and format them using the subtemplate called postformat. But can I add some PHPcode so that it only checks for certain category ID's?

I've tried adding the list category post to one page but it just uses that 1 page as post in the index template and if i choose a page template it still doesnt display the way I want. I would have to rewrite most of the styling code for the plugin and some to montezuma I guess. There should be an easier way?

List Category Posts or TPG Get Posts should do what you want you just have to determine the proper attributes to add to the shortcode on a page.
