Description and Message
I want to add a second News block so that I can separate the recently active topics from two different parts of my forum. Therefore the second needs to pull articles from different forum IDs.

Is it possible to simply create a second news block? (even if I have to specify the forum IDs that it pulls from outside the administrator control panel)

Or if not, could I modify the Global Announcements block (which I currently don't use) so that it will show normal topics rather than just announcements?

Just duplicate the news block, rename it to what ever you want..

Then, add

Code: Select all

	<!-- INCLUDE portal/block/*******.html -->

*replace ******* with the new name

To your portal_body.html where you want it to show..

But doesn't that just result in exactly the same news block reading topics from exactly the same forum IDs as defined in the ACP?
