Hi Mark,

I assume that you are using Razor, For my example to help you I have used the Txt starter kit.

The way that you can list all your news items, on the frontpage no matter what level that you are on you could use the Descendants() axis, and limted to take your news items, like this,

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{
    var root = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1);
    var newsItems = root.Descendants("umbNewsItem");
        <ul>
            @foreach(var item in newsItems){
                <li>
                    <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
                </li>
            }
        </ul>
}

As you can see I use Partial View Macros, to get it work in your case, remeber to change the umbNewsItem, so it match the alias of your news items.

For the divistions news items, you can use the children of the currentpage, and you said, but, if you can create other type of pages, they will come in the navigation too. You could use this snippet of code, it only takes the news items.

And as I started to say I have taken point in the Txt starter kit, so my news items, is live under a news overview page, and I place the macro on the template for the news overview page, and it will print a link to alle the news items, that you have underneath the overview page.

This is the pre-define code snippet called List Child Pages With Doctype

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{    
    @*Build a query and return the visible items *@
    var selection = CurrentPage.umbNewsItems.Where("Visible");
}

@*Determine if there are any nodes in the selection, then render list *@
@if(selection.Any()){

   <ul>
     @foreach(var page in selection){                
       <li><a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a></li> 
     }                 
   </ul>             

}

Hope this hleps, or don´t hestitate to write again.
