When Pagesetter is set as the default Postnuke module, add the ability to show one specific publication. Right now we can only see all publications for the default publication type.
My client wants their front page to contain one publication of type Article (which I have defined) that tells a little about themselves.
Right now in Pagesetter I can set the default publication type to Article but of course that shows all Articles in list mode. I would like to see an additional drop-down box so that after I choose my publication type, I can either choose one particular publication of that publication type or <none>. Choosing <none> would give us list view for the publication type.
Do others see this as useful?
There is a similar request as an RFE in sourcefource http://sourcefo…03&atid=599539 but this is requesting a block that can contain one Pagesetter publication. I don't think that help me with this although I want that too. Are we greedy for features or what?</none></none>

J?rn, thanks for another option though that won't work for me. Changing the number of publications to 1 does show only one Article but not the one that I need and it uses the Article-list template instead of the Article-full template.
I have also been thinking about the future Pagesetter Publication block and the fact that if we want that block to be the initial page of the site that Postnuke would need to have a default module that dislpays nothing. I have decided to beg and plead with you to implement this feature request as written. This is really what I need.
As a side note, thank you for both Pagesetter and Photoshare. It is easy to tell that they were designed and not just slapped together. You have put a lot of thought and effort into them and from a end user perspective, I appreciate them greatly.

Please consider this request revoked. After reading the following post from the Autotheme forums, I have created my own module that displays no content. And it only takes four lines of code!

I am inserting Shawn's response from the thread above for those as lazy as me. Most should be aware of this but before selecting this new module in Admin / Settings, you will need to go to Admin / Modules / Regenerate to Install and Activate it.
Code
The <!-- [modules] --> command is required. In the Nuke CMSs the module is not really called by the CMS, the module actually calls the CMS and theme (which is your site). The way to accomplish what you want is to have a blank or dummy module that is set as your start page. There is one floating around called pnHome, or you can create on in the following manner:
Create modules/Home/index.php containing:
<?php
include("header.php");
include("footer.php");
?>
Go to administration -> settings and set Home as your start page module.
Voila!
HTH
