But what about the default widgets like "recent articles widget"? could we make them show and hide as we want?

For the default widgets, you'd have to do something like was done above.

Alternatively, you can play games with hidden sections to get the widgets you want on the page.

Thank you.

I will check what I can do and let you know.

BTW, do you have an effective way to hide the primary content if I want to make one of the sections just a set of widgets no articles or messages tells there is no content here .

Another Question, and sorry for that, is there a way to add tags to the search criteria for recent article widget?

I looked at the widget file, and I don't know from where I have to start, specially because the tags stored in the cms_contentinfo "keywords field" as a string, and need work to divide it by commas to get the desired tag.

Thanks in advance.

I believe there is either an article or a mod on here to to this.

Use the tag/tagcontent tables to pull back the specific tags you want to filter by.

Thank you Dead Eddie for your help.

I have another question now (I'm greedy )
If I have a PHP direct execution content in one of my sections, and I put PHP code for example to bring me the last article from one section or category or tag for example, is there a way to split result on pages?

Let we say the query returns 50 articles (rows) and I want to display only 10 in the same page, but I want to be still under the same node (php eval), I mean I want to show them just like the sections and categories when they split result to pages.

Is some thing like this possible?

[Dead Eddie]

Probably?

Not sure if it's the best way, though. Can you be a little more specific (either in here or via PM) about your requirements, and why sections & categories aren't working for you?

[SilverBoy]

The PM in it's way .
