Title: Multiple Article Blocks
Post by: nob4uask on July 10, 2011, 07:25:04 PM

Morn All,

I must be missing something here. 

I want to have 2 article blocks so I created 2 article catagories.  I can't seem to find the place to define which catagory goes into which block.  It just shows all articles in both blocks.

Any help would be appreciated.

Currently, The articles block displays articles from all enabled categories.
If you want two different blocks displaying two different categories, you would want a customization. I did one like that, once, and posted it on one of the custom coding boards. Since then, others have pointed out ways to improve this block.
