Hi John,

You could write your  Macro to display all sub nodes.

So for example "Sub news landing 2"  I would see "sub news article 4, sub news article 5," (1 macro)

Then create another Second News Template (so now you have 2 News Templates - 1 for Sub Nodes and 1 for Main News)

Then to get your Main News to Display on the Sub News page, write the Macro to list throgh the whole structure and only write out information for Templates with a certain ID.  So, looking at the code below.  My News Template ID (which would be your Main News) template id (you can get the Tmeplate ID from hovering over a template and looking at the Javascript message in the Status bar) is "1223".  So the code below would display only code for all Main News nodes.    

    <xsl:sort select="newsDate" order="descending"/>
    <xsl:if test="position()&lt;= $maxItems">
   <xsl:if test="@template = 1223">
               <li>
               <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="newsTitle"/></a>
               </li>
         </xsl:if>
        </xsl:if>
             <xsl:if test="count(./* [@isDoc and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap]) &gt; 0">
               <xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">
                 <xsl:with-param name="parent" select="."/>
               </xsl:call-template>
             </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>

So on your Pages.  You can drop in two Macros.

Hope this helps,

Mark

John,

Any luck with this? I am struggling with a very similar situation.  There has got to be an easy way to do this and I have been wrestling with it for a couple weeks now myself.

Mark, I was looking at your solution and my first thought is... wouldn't this list out the articles seperately? So the main news wouldn't be integrated with the other news?  Maybe I misunderstood John and if so I apologize, but I am doing something similar where I need to integrate them together. 

My most recent attempts were trying to dump them into a node-set and display them that way, then I could manipulate them as a set... I think I have the right idea, but the execution ain't happening :)

Anyway, any further ideas would be cool... or John if you came up with a solution yourself, please share it.

Thanks, Tony

Hey Tony that is a great solution.  I have it working now.
