	How would I go about making the featured articles have a header like: Quote: Featured Articles For This Category 1. article description, blah blah, blah blah 2. article description, blah blah, blah blah 3. article description, blah blah, blah blah Latest Articles For This Category 1. article description, blah blah, blah blah 2. article description, blah blah, blah blah Or putting "Featured" at the end of the article title: Quote: 1. Article title here Featured Description of article, blah balf blag 2. Article title here Featured Description of article, blah balf blag 3. Article title here Description of article, blah balf blag 4. Article title here Description of article, blah balf blag

	Hi For the first option create a new featured articles block by copying the latest articles block. Change the title and in the php instead of "getArticles('','article_id DESC',5)" change it to "getArticles('article_featured_state=1','article_id DESC',5)". For the second option in the latest articles block php make "getArticles('','article_id DESC',5)" into "getArticles('','article_featured_state DESC, article_id DESC',5)". This will put featured articles to the top of the list. Then in the html at the end of the article heading add {if $Article->featured==1}Featured{/if}. Obviously include any formatting for the word featured within the if.

where do I put {if $Article->featured==1}Featured{/if} in the code below

Code:

<h2 class="title">Latest Articles</h3>
{section name=$this->i  loop=$this->articles}
<p>{$this->i|inc}: <a href='{$this->articles[$this->i]->url}'>{$this->articles[$this->i]->title}</a></p>
<div class="summary">
<p>{if $this->articles[$this->i]->summary}
{$this->articles[$this->i]->summary}
{else}
{$this->articles[$this->i]->text|@summary}
{/if}
</p>
</div>
<br>
{/section}

PHP:

$this->articles = $this->getArticles('','article_featured_state DESC, article_id DESC',30);

function summary($s){
  return substr(strip_tags($s),0,200);
}

	Thak you for the code, I tweaked it so it work for the ams 2.+0v. But I have one problem. It include the same article in the list of featured article and in the latest articles for the category. How can I manage to have the article show only in one of the two places ? Thanks

	Friends, I´m a newbie here, but I think the correct form to put the HTML at the end of the heading is this: {if $this->articles[$this->i]->featured_state==1}<span style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">Feature</span>{/if} Anne Kirrin, I just put it in "{$Blocks->latestarticles}", after . . . {$this->i\|inc}: <a href='{$this->articles[$this->i]->url}'>{$this->articles[$this->i]->title}</a> {if $this->articles[$this->i]->featured_state==1}<span style="color: red; font-size: 16px;"> Featured</span>{/if} <div class="summary"> . . . hope this helps...
