Yeah like you tried the only way I can think of is by using categories. What I think you're asking for is pretty much a way to choose what content gets to be in the front page, and what goes on other pages which you would have to specify- in short, categories. You might just need to use them a little more creatively.
Sorry that I can't be of much help otherwise. :\

ok i searched the site a little more and found a temp solution. i really wanted a non script solution but since one isn't available i'm just gonna use FI-DD's posted here.
the thing is that ill make a copy of the "show_news.php" file 3 times, each with a different name for a certain category(s). i did not test it yet, i hope that it won't have any bugs since all the "show_news.php" files will be included in the same page. on first view, nothing can go wrong, each page should execute it's script and only after display the result....right ? 
 | | In inc/show.news.php find this:
 | | foreach ($query as $bg => $row){ |
add below:
| | if($row['category'] == 'ID' and $exclude) continue; |
Change your include code to this:
| | $exclude = true;
include('show_news.php');
$exclude = false; |
|
PS: i really hope in the future versions of cutenews they put a publishing option in the news. save the articles but not publish them. a visible/hidden option. smething like that.
besides that excellent work with the script, i really enjoy working with it. keep up the great work.

You can put the post date as some date that hasn't been yet.
Another way to do this is to make a category "Frontpage" and only using that category to decide what goes on the front page and what doesn't. (You'll obviously have to include only the frontpage category in your CNR include code.)
To remove items who isn't in the frontpage category from your RSS file, just modify the include code which resides within rss.php.

i understand what you said Torstein, but that's just a method to avoid the problem. it's not a permanent solution. that's why i asked that in the future versions of cutenewsru, to be implemented an option to publish or save articles/news. they would all be in the same category just some visible on the show_news.php and some would be visible only of the user includes them to another page using the category's. it's not something that needs hours of coding, someone with minor understanding of php could do it, but it's really useful for the normal CMS user.
so if you guys still have any other ideas please post them. any help is welcome

I've thought of a way! Just use the new xfield sorting method and you should be able to make options for something like 'Draft' and 'Published'
Is that what you're looking for?
