    Latest listings

    I set up classipress for a client using home.php as the main page and I am trying to set up a page displaying the latest listings like it would display if index.php was the home page.
    is there an easy way to do this because I am not having any luck,I've tried simply renaming index.php to enter.php and linking to it but the wordpress loop kicks in and redirects back to home.php.
    Great theme by the way, very sleek compared to most classifieds scripts or programs.
    Any Idea when when Version 2.9 will be released.

    Thanks

    v2.9 will be out in a couple of weeks. It will include lots of new features and will also be much better organized (code and file-wise). I would hold off on making too many modifications in your current theme b/c you might have trouble with the upgrade. Since it sounds like you're just creating a separate home.php page you should be fine.

    To create your custom page, you'll need to create a new page and build a new template.

    Here are a couple of sites showing you how to do this. Once you get your page and template setup, you can paste in whatever code you want.

    Re: Latest listings

    I would like to know if it is possible to show only the tittle of posts on the front page. I see that we can choose summary or full text display through the Reading settings under Options on the Dashboard. However, I would like to show only the tittle of the posts and no text description for Ads on the front page. Is there any other tab on the Dashboard to configure Latest Listings settings? I would appreciate any help or information regarding this inquiry. Thanks, Yod-Class

    Yes, but you have to go in and edit the index.php file.

    Remove the following line and it will take out the description

    Code:
    <?php echo substr(strip_tags($post->post_content), 0, 190)."...";?>
