How to exclude one section from showing up on the main CMS front page?

[30022]

I have 5 sections, the main one is the default home page (preview page: Front Page). I would like to show 4 of the sections on the Front page but not the 5th section.

In the Front Page >editor>show content from dropdown menu there are only two options: This section only & Include Sub Sections.

I have tried Unpublish the 5th section from the main site admin panel Admin>CMS>Section Manager but this also removes the 5th section link from the subnav so I or visitors cant access it, but I would like the 5th section link to reamain the subnav but not show up on the Front Page (preview page).

Anybody know how to do this?

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.

What I would like to accomplish, actually, is have two sections. Being that I understand that this cant be done, I would like to have one of the sections not appear and/or be excluded on the main section navigation bar, create another page, and name it for the section that was excluded on the main navigation bar.
I created the above plugin and don't now how to make it work.
