categ. x not on front, but as titles in sidebar: howto?

[snafu]

hello!

i was scanning the forum for a while, but did not find the appropriate method for this problem.

in our little free newspaper we want to have normal articles, and private "small advertisements" too. the ads should not show up on the frontpage. it would be fine, if they could be displayed only on sidebar, reducet to the title line.

i think about writing an extra "loop" like

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$dategroup.entries item="entry"}

placed in the sidebar, but there are two difficulties:
how do i select only the categorie "ads" for the loop in the sidebar, and how do i suppress the same cat. at the frontpage?

should work with that nice smarty tool ... ?

thanks in advance!
