Re: Display a Category as the Content on the Home Page

Hi linoj,

You're brilliant!!! I tried the very first suggestion you made and viola! It 
works perfectly. I think I know just enough to get myself into trouble, so I 
will certainly follow through on the other example you have provided to 
learn a bit more from that as well.

I didn't know the was such a call as <xar:categories-navigation layout... 
The document I have been following is the Blocklayout one, but it doesn't 
have a lot of examples on how to do things like what you have just 
described.

Do you know if there is any other documentation available on other 
variations of calls like this one with examples. I would certainly love to 
see such a document. The examples I see the most of are around calling 
Articles. So I got totally bogged down in attempting to call a Category of 
Articles.

Thanks so much for the prompt response to my query. I certainly was spinning 
cycles on this one over the last couple of days.

Cheers,


Wayne
