  Hi,
  
  I am working on a test site for a small business. I want to use PayPalCart http://www.natewelch…viewarticle&artid=3 but I need it to display certain items on the home page, versus the whole store. I now see that PaypalCart comes with a block I could use. However, it only shows one item at a time. Does anyone know if the code could be edited so it displays multiple items? I am still somewhat new to Postnuke and am not sure how to accomplish this.
  
  Thank you for any input.

  Why not display multiple blocks?

  You could also take the pnRender block and call the item via

  Code

  <!--[ pnmodfunc modname="PayPalCart" type="user" func="whatever" id=123 parameter="value" ]-->

  
  That could be a solution if you don't intend to change articles every 5 minutes. It's perhaps more interesting for shops that don't change that often.
  
  You could also try my Simpletemplate module from the NOC. There you could store a template with several of these function calls and put it on the frontpage.

  Thank you both for the replies.
  
  As for simpletemplate, could you be so kind as to explain a bit more about it's install and use?

  well it's a very simple module. There's no DB involved. You can simply put a template called v4b_simpletemplate_view_example.html into /modules/simpleTemplates/pntemplates and call that via index.php?module=simpleTemplate&func=view&page=example
  You can also set simplatemplate as frontpage module
  type = user
  func = view
  parameter = page=example
  
  Within this template you have all the pnRender functionality. For example you can call any module function with either pnmodfunc or pnmodapifunc depending on whether it is a UI funtion or a API function (pnuser.php = pnmodfunc / pnuserapi.php = pnmodapifunc)

  Hi,
  
  I still found haven't found what I need to put in your simple template to get the needed results.
  
  Is there anyway you might be able to take a look at paypalcart and see what exactly I need to add? I've tried variations of

  Code

  !--[ pnmodfunc modname="PayPalCart" type="user" func="whatever" id=123 parameter="value" ]-->

  but I can't get it to display just 1 category or alternatively, specify multiple items. It just shows all categories. :
  
  Help on this would be much appreciated. It's the only big hurdle I need to overcome with the site. If desired, I am able to pay to get this working.
  
  Thank you.
