Hello,

sorry for not answering. I don't understand exactly what you wanna do with this code. Can you please explain what result you wanna have on your page.

Aaaaah,

now i understand. Ok there are different abilitys.

1. You wanna have the news only on one page
Go in WB admin interface to the edit page section and the page where you wanna have the news. On top right you see "manage section". Go to this and add a code section. Insert in this code section the php code without "<?php" at the beginning and "?>" at the end. The code should look like the one you posted
Didn't work on my test enviroment

2. You wanna have the news on every page at the same place (header or footer or wherever).
Edit the index.php of your template and the code where you wanna have it. From your example it should the look like

Code: [Select]

<td>
     <strong><u>Latest News:</u></strong>
     <?php
     <!--P
     $number=1;
     $category=1;
     include("cutenews/show_news.php");
     -->
     ?>
</td>
Not tested but it should work

Hello,

not nice but a working workaround:

Make a copy of your template. Change folder and name in the info.php. Add the code to the index.php of this template. Install this template and set this template for the first page as the default template.

this way you have on every page the same layout, only on the firstpage you have the additional cutenews. Bad thing is when you make changes on your template you have to do this twice.
