Apparently I am doing something wrong or not doing something entirely. Here is what I have:
hompage.ss: located in themes/blackcandy/templates/Layout/hompage.ss (I just kept the same name blackcandy yet it has been modified)
$Content
<div id="headStrong" class="Newstypography">
<h2>LATEST NEWS</h2>
<h3>WHATS HAPPENING AT AKL</h3>
</div>
<div id="ContentNews" class="typography">
<ul id="NewsList">
<% control LatestNews %>
<li class="newsDateTitle">$Title</li>
<li class="newsDateTitle">$Date.Nice</li>
<li class="newsSummary">$Content.FirstParagraph Read more >></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</div>
HomPage.php: located in mysite/code/HomPage.php
<?php
class HomePage extends Page {
function LatestNews($num=3) {
$news = DataObject::get_one("ArticleHolder");
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("ArticlePage", "ParentID = $news->ID", "", "", $num) : false;
}
}
?>

I am using ArticleHolder.ss and ArticlePage.ss to display the news articles on a news page, but am not able to get the same thing on the hompage. Is there something else that needs to be done within the admin?
Thanks Again for all the assistance.
