MiniFrontpage - Related to number of article
- Posted by Ng Wei (2) Offline
Hi, I am a student who just recently started to use minifrontpage to create an "Announcement" section for my site.
I realized that it will only include the number of articles specified in the option, anything beyond that is completely ignored
Is there a way to have something for me to show all article with specified category? like for example a "Show all" button?

I'm not sure what you want to achieve, but mini frontpage is intended to create a news layout in your front/landing pageHi, I am a student who just recently started to use minifrontpage to create an "Announcement" section for my site.
Could you let me know the URL of your site so I can take a look?I realized that it will only include the number of articles specified in the option, anything beyond that is completely ignored

What I want to do is to have it showing articles with the same category ("Announcement" in this case) in the similar trend as showing news.
What I meant for the second part is let's say I have 5 articles currently, if I want to show all 5 I will need to set the "Number of Articles" option as 5.
If I intend to only show 3 (as showing 5 take out too much space) and set the number of articles to 3, only 3 of them will be shown with no indication of any other articles even exist.
My workaround so far is to set the row as 3 instead and leave the number of article as 5 so that other 2 will be shown under Other Articles
However since the total number of articles is expected to change from time to time, I am wondering is there a way to just include something to say that there is actually other articles and maybe provide a link for user to go to another page?
I can't give you the URL as I am still working under localhost environment.....
