What informations do you want to show ?

Here is a very simple but working XML plugin :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<listing>
<name>Latest News for a specific category</name>
<query>SELECT id, title FROM #__content WHERE state = "1" AND sectionid = "XXX" AND catid = "XXX" ORDER BY created DESC</query>
<htmlline>
  <table>
 
<![CDATA[
- <a href="index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=%s&Itemid=XXX>%s</a><br />
]]>
 
  </table>
</htmlline>
</listing>

XXX need to be replaced by your own configuration !

thanks a lot!

i need to show all the article of a specific category, not the latest but all. may i use it? do i add only the id of the category?

you're welcome Moncini

Yes, just add section id and category id from your configuration. You also need the Itemid. To have it, just look at your menu configuration in the admin area (if you have set a menu item for this category !).

If you need more help, do not hesitate
