    For a new website I want to use PageSetter for handling all information pages; news, topic-based articles etc. This no problem and I am going to use a lot of plugins and other gadgets to make it look and feel really user-friendly... :-)

    But now I got the idea, that I want to decide what is shown on a frontpage list by a simple marking on each article - a boolean box for deciding frontpage or not.
    Much like PagEd's way of doing it, but PagEd can't do what I want to do here.
    My problem is how to make it possible.

    Any good ideas?

    On http://www.trorodspejderne.dk I have added a boolean field on the news items. This is called "frontpage".

    The pub. setup (index.php?module=pagesetter&type=admin&func=pubtypeedit&action=edit&tid=1) then has a "standard filter" of "frontpage:eq:1".

    In addition to this I have an integer "priority" that defines the sorting order on the page. So on the pub. setup I have set the sort order to be "priority (desc), created (desc)".

    The first part I figured out, but I was just about to ask if I could use the same solution for ordering - so you answered before I asked. Wow, what a man! :D
    Thx J?rn
