Hello again,
Is it possible to put 2 News modules within 1 page (at different positions), to be able to have different articles  appear in each of them??
If so, how should I specify the difference in my template, which parameters should be used in the code {news} for such a thing?

Could not find anything about this in the help-pages !!!

Thanks in advice for any tip !!

Willemijn,

you can create a different container to have the second NEWS styled/positioned differently.

Both callings of the news can have their own category.

(optional) category="category" - Only display items for that category.
Use * after the name to show children. Multiple categories can be used if separated with a comma.
Leaving empty, will show all categories.

The default calls a container called "news" and correspondingly styles it in the CSS:
By adding another container, say " ", you're free to do what you want.

Thanks Ronny,
The styling of the News is not the problem, they can be just the same
It's the content I wish to be different in each of them!

I didn't want to have categories displayed at all for this site, so I disabled that.
But may be I should use it again to be able to separate those those 2 contents..
Is there a possibility to do that whithout having the text Category' displayed on the page itself ??

Or would you suggest another sollution

Thanks again,
Willemijn

To have the text not being displayed on the site, you can go into the templates within the NEWS-module "Content -> News", in the summary template, delete:
Then the category won't be shown on the summary-view,

On the detail-template, delete:
and it won't be shown in the details as well.

Great Ronny, it works!!!

I didn't delete the category code for details though, and it still doesnot display as wished! Suppose it should be another code then? I remember deleting something myself earlier.
Anyway, it works like this
