on my default main page all off the articles goes to bottom of the headlines and shows on one column!

Go to your Vivvo administration >> Preferences >> Categories >> Page elements tab >> Article List - More news.
From there you can choose which categories you want to display on your home page.

thanks
can vivvo shows latest published aticles in tow columns at the bottom of headlines?
i mean that don't sort them on categories, only by last published?
same as many of the news polrtals!

:confused: I'm not sure on what are you asking.
Can you please be more specific?

ok,
see, i have so many categories, and i want to show for example 20 latest articles on homepage.
so i want to show 20 latest post on homepage, only by date of publishing, same as a blog!

Go to your homepage/default.tpl template, and remove everything from <!-- Main news section --> comment to <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/latest_news.tpl" />

Next, open your box/latest_news.tpl template, and instead of <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/title_only.tpl" /> (appears in two places inside template)

place <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/default.tpl" />

Now go to your Administration >> Preferences >> Articles >> Page elements tab >> Article list - Latest news, and set the number of news to 20 and number of columns to 1.
