if i am not wrong you guys don't want to show contents (articles) from specific section on FRONTPAGE right ?
if thats the case, then create a new plugin
Hook: vbcms_collection_section_querydata
Title: Anything You Wish
Code:
PHP Code:
if ($this->filter_node_exact == 1) // 1 = FRONTPAGE nodeid
$hook_query_where .= " AND node.parentnode != 45"; // replace 45 with excluded section nodeid.
