Article list outside an article

[yuluma]

I created a category with different articles (+/- 10) now I would like to create a list with articles from a different category on the {LEFT} side of the webpage. But because the placing of content is only possible in a content part I would like to know how I can create an article list (with code) in a template.

Because my english is not so good:
the page with articles: http://www.davido.nl/sj/index.php?het_f ... le_dagblad

And I made a screenshot of what I'm trying to create.

My question: what do I look for, does this exists? (think so) but I dont have a clue where to search... Any ideas?

[yuluma]

Isn't there anybody that can point me in some direction? Or is my question to simple or not right explained?

I could use the {NEW:5:1} tag, but then I also get this anoying date, now only find out where the reptag is created....

Hey !

Hope I understood you well:

2 ideas ... one : {TEASER_EX} via search function, this forum....

2nd: switch off date in the news template, as fo'Y-m-d' you enter ''

I PM you where you can see both in 1 site

EDIT: Getting older and older ... to "notch out" date in news section you need to edit (by mind link) config_template.inc.php which is located in /config/phpwcms ... UFF

The news section has his own date validation as far as i remember

Hello all,

TEASER worked fine, till now I never used it because the replacement tag was confusing me so much. Now days the inventor created a TEASER TAG CREATOR and life is so simple and perfect.

I created a new template called archief.tmpl wich is only showing the title as a link.

{TEASER_EX:fd_archief_2005|5article_title|ASC:0:Pagina:1::archief.tmpl}

offcourse I first installed the TEASER tag
thanks for your comments and help! sometimes only searchin for keywords doesnt works when the solution is completely new

love PHPWCMS !!!!

Is there any php guru that could tell me how to limit the above to a certain amount of letters.

Now I'm just pulling the articles titels from a certain category, but I would like to limit the amount of letters, and if larger then break the title and follow up with ...

hi

if you refer to the {NEWS} Tag:

$template_default["news"]["link_length"] = 10; //if 0 no limit

10 as example ...

inside of config/phpwcms/conf.template_default.inc
