    Hello again,

    I am using PagEd on my site and have it set so that the articles appear on the Home Page. I have created several topics and they show up fine.
    What I'd like to do is set it up so there are a few stories from each topic appearing in groups on the Home Page.
    In other words, I want a few News Stories, a few Sports Stories, etc. but together instead of appearing all over the page.
    If you could let me know if there is any way of doing this I would appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.

    In the News module, it can be accomplished with a Topics block, that display a few articles on determinated topic...

    You must code a block for PagEd (if it isn't exists) that display (n) articles of the topic (x)...

    And as a recommendation,
    try to distinguish the articles title link style from the others like 'read more'.
    a bold font-weight, a different color should help to make readable the articles list. icon_wink

    Well I've gotten as far as creating a topics block but nothing shows up
    Here's what shows up in Modules with my options italicized

    Modify block
    PagEd/pagedtopics
    Title News
    Position Center
    Collapsible No
    Default state for block Expanded
    Language All
    PagEd Topics Block Settings
    Sub item display Static (permanent display)
    User ordered *
    User ordered: I selected the ones I wanted
    Height - Top level items 5
    Height - Sub items 5
    Menu block width 75
    Sub items width (popup menu only) 75
    Use template Global menu layout
    Refresh time for block (only used for blocks that retrieve information from outside sources) One hour

    What am I doing or did I do wrong?

    It's like few users of PagEd are here...
    for me, you block configuration is fine, so, i can't say more about because i don't use that mod.
    PagEd is supported? it will be in PN 0.8 ?
