    hi

    currently have this

    {{ list_sections length="5" constraints="number greater 200" }} 
    {{ list_articles length="1" ignore_issue="true" ignore_section="false" order="bydate desc" constraints="onfrontpage is on" }}               


    but now i need to list section 120, 190, 220 260, 270 and nothing else

    cant find anything in the manual about adding extra 'number is' constraints

    Well spotted, that does not exist. What we use is "set_section" in combination with "number". Below is an example from our sourcefabric.org site. Alternatively, you can climb your way through the usual "list_sections" and then inside use a chain of "if" "elseif". But the below example is easier to understand and maintain. It also contains the check if the section is chosen - to give it the class "current".

    {{ set_section number="23" }}
          <li{{ if $gimme->section->number == $gimme->default_section->number }} class="current"{{ /if }}>
          <a href="{{ uri options="section" }}" target="_top">{{ $gimme->section->description }}</a></li>
    {{ set_section number="24" }}
          <li{{ if $gimme->section->number == $gimme->default_section->number }} class="current"{{ /if }}>
          <a href="{{ uri options="section" }}" target="_top">{{ $gimme->section->description }}</a></li>
    {{ set_section number="21" }}
          <li{{ if $gimme->section->number == $gimme->default_section->number }} class="current"{{ /if }}>
          <a href="{{ uri options="section" }}" target="_top">{{ $gimme->section->description }}</a></li>

    You can also exclude some sections by "number not <number>"

    For example,

    {{ list_sections constraints="number greater 9 number smaller 122 number not 110" }}

    Sorry about being late to the party here but I seem to remember the syntax is a little more complicated than that.

    Try instead:

    {{ list_section constraints="number not 1 number not 2 number not 3" }} …and so on.
