thedc's post above was quite laconic for Xanthia new users.
I find the way to have only the Admin_Messages on the homepage (the news can be displayed too).
1. Create a blank HTM File called (for example) 'home.htm'
2. Copy and paste the code lines of 'master.htm' in this file.
3. The homepage needs to display the Admin_Messages so you have to enter this in 'home.htm'
Code
4. Cut and paste 'home.htm' in the following folder .\themes\Gemini\templates\modules
5. Go to 'Xanthia administration'
6. Edit your Gemini theme
7. In 'theme templates', create a new template of a module called 'home.htm'
8. For contents of this template, enter anything... and save the modifications
9. Go back to 'theme templates', you should see 'Reload the template' next to your new 'home.htm' template. Click and reload.
10. Now go to 'theme zones'
11. Add a new theme zone
12. Enter in the fields : homepage (for example) | *home
13. Choose 'new master for : homepage' then apply
14. Go back to 'theme zones' and choose configuration of the new 'homepage' template
15. Choose as 'new zone template' : 'home.htm' and apply.
That's it. Now you can decide to show the news with the Admin_Messages or not. And if you decided to click on the 'name' of the article or 'Read more...', the news will be displayed AlOnE.
There's only one problem that still remains : when you decide not to show news on homepage, the 'News' link to the 'News index' will say 'No news' ! But it's no big deal...who reads this kind of a news list ? A visitor searches for news on a specific topic (I would act like this !
