The dashboard page shows Blog Post list. Is it possible to limit to specific Category?

<MonoX:BlogPostList ID="ctlBlogPostList" RetainBreaksInDescription="false" CacheDuration="600" RewritePageTitle="false" Template="BlogListShort" runat="server" RssEnabled="true" IsHeaderVisible="False" MaxDescriptionChars="90" PageSize="4" MaxTitleChars="40" PagingEnabled="false" />

Hi,

you can set CategoryId property of the BlogPostList to filter only specific category.

Yes, it is working for one Category. Is it possible to show Blog Post List for a list of categories (for example Category A and Category B)?

The same way, I would like to show the newest 5 topic titles (from the main discussion board) and limit the topic title size to 100 chars.

Any tips or advice

I would like to do the same thing and show the newest topic titles only regardless which discussion boards (similar to what we have for blogpostlist)

Hi,

at the moment blog post list allows you to filter the blog posts only by one category.

Any hint regarding displaying discussion board new topic titles list? Is it doable?
Can I have a similar code like this one but in this case for Discussion board top titles list?
<MonoX:BlogPostList ID="ctlBlogPostList"
RetainBreaksInDescription="false" CacheDuration="600"
RewritePageTitle="false" Template="BlogListShort" runat="server"
RssEnabled="true" IsHeaderVisible="False" MaxDescriptionChars="90"
PageSize="4" MaxTitleChars="40" PagingEnabled="false" />

It is doable, but requires some programming - you would have to develop your own Web part to do that. So if you feel that this approach is right for you, we could provide you with some sample code.
